Code As Art
After exploring the intersection between artistic creativity and innovative coding, Director of Technology, Innovation, & Design Kevin Grieshaber is devising ways to share what he’s learned—and to teach Peck students how to use code to create algorithmic, or generative, art.
“I’ve used some of these concepts in my Friday Activity Coding Class in the past,” said Grieshaber, “and I am always looking for new ideas about integrating code and art. [Upper School Art Teacher] Scott Beil and I hope to explore ways we can connect some of this with the Upper School art program.”
Grieshaber took two master class workshops in Creative Coding in February with noted Brooklyn artist and designer Phillip Stearns, and was also accepted into the month-long ITP Camp that takes place in June.
ITP Camp is coordinated through ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program), located in the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. It is grounded in the belief that ‘making’ is fundamental to thinking, andinvites creative and tech-savvy people to collaborate in an unconference format—to experiment and challenge themselves, hear cutting-edge speakers, and collaborate with people of diverse disciplines.
