To work with local communities to organize workshops, meetups, exhibitions, community spaces, community days. To share code and ideas through their artwork&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*These sermons get a lot more convincing when people have been actually doing it for twenty years. https:\/\/medium.com\/processing-foundation\/making-p5-js-fd293ba91a32 They want us to think technology is a black box.
