Processing, a 13 week course created for artists to develop skills and knowledge using the open source Processing environment took place at the Watershed Media Centre, Bristol between March and June 2005. The format of the course consisted of project based learning whereby students deconstructed interactive projects and then re-worked or extended the original code/ideas to accomplish a series of exercises. The course aimed to create a hybrid space, where technical skills are fused with a creative approach.

The group consisted of 7 creatives from diverse backgrounds including music, performance and film making. The conclusion of the course was a one off showcase event held on July 21st at the Watershed. The showcase featured a range of work from live performance to installation, highlighting an innovative and experimental approach to interactive media using RFID technology, motion detection, video tracking and sound interaction. This website provides further detail of the work that was shown at the event, including video documentation, images and code.
