If, Then: Technology and Poetics
What’s Happening:

This year, we are so excited to offer two tracks of programming. IF our monthly workshops show us what is possible, THEN what happens when we dedicate time and space together for demos and feedback on creative projects of our own?

THEN: community + accountability + feedback
THEN is a 5-week commitment of 75-minute virtual weekly meetings, geared toward folks who want community, accountability, and feedback in their creative computational practices. We met on Zoom on Wednesdays at 5PM Eastern, time/dates TBA. If you have a project or practice that can benefit from check-ins, feedback, and working together in community, please join us next time! ✨
