Come experiment and interact with data in new ways. This two-part workshop series, in partnership with the Council on Science and Technology and the CST Studio Lab, will provide an introduction to creative coding with p5.js, a Javascript library which is intended to “make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators, and beginners.” Participants will work with CDH project data and library collection data as they learn the basics of p5.js and work towards a creative data visualization. Join us as we explore ways to experiment and create with data!

The first workshop will be at CDH, the second will be at CST Studio Lab.

No previous programming experience required. Bring a laptop.

Space is limited, RSVP to cdh-info@princeton.edu.

What's next for the Finding Aids? Session moderators Kelly Bolding and Faith Charlton (Rare Books and Special Collections)

To continue our discussion about PUL's systems and services, our next Collections as Data Reading Group session will delve into Princeton's Finding Aids site to investigate how Princeton's rich archival metadata can be used for computational research and analysis.

We will start with a special presentation by the PULFA 3.0 team, who will discuss the working group’s progress thus far and give some ideas about how Princeton's Finding Aids may evolve in the future. 

In this second of two workshops, participants will continue learning creative coding with p5.js and experimenting with data, working towards drawing custom shapes, animation, and sonifying data.

The first workshop will be at CDH, the second will be at CST Studio Lab.

Attendance at the first workshop or prior experience with p5.js is required.

Space is limited, RSVP to cdh-info@princeton.edu
