During the summer of 2019, students of Beckmans College of Design took part in the Generative Design summer project. The goal was to use art history, in particular the works of abstract painters such as Hilma af Klint, as a starting point to learn how to draw with code, from basic geometries (think Kazimir Malevich) to animation, sound and interactivity.

In the course, the students learned the basics of programming in various workshops, by sketching with code, using Javascript and the p5.js editor as a learning platform.

In collaboration with Jonas Johansson, a Stockholm-based artist and teacher.
