Processing is an open source programming language and environment which is blurring the boundaries between programmer and artist and challenging current notions of art making practice.  Initiated by Casey Reas and Ben Fry while students at MIT it won the prestigious Golden Nica award at Ars Electronica and will be presented there this fall.

Digital artist/designer Katya Moorman will give an overview of the history/ideology of open source code, Processing's history within it, and how the environment expands possibilities for artists through programming. There will also be interactive work on display from various artists using Processing including: Casey Reas, Sawako Kato, lab5769 and others.
