Hi! I’d like to organize a Processing Community Day 2026 event in [Izmir, Turkiye].

I’m looking forward to connecting with fellow artists, designers, creative coders, educators, and technologists from the community. My practice sits at the intersection of generative art, creative coding, and physical computing. I create works that transform data, algorithms, and computational systems into visual, sonic, and interactive experiences

As part of the event, I will be leading a hands-on workshop introducing participants to generative art using Processing. Together we’ll explore fundamental concepts such as randomness, repetition, geometry, algorithmic composition, and creative experimentation through code. The workshop is designed to be accessible to beginners while also offering inspiration for more experienced practitioners.

If you are based in Izmir (or nearby) and would like to join the workshop, please reply to this thread or send me a message. I’d love to see the local creative coding community come together for this!
