Coded Creatures is an application created by MU and FIBER. It was developed especially for the online educational program MU Play&Learn and is part of FIBER’s series Coded Matter(s).
Coded Creatures is an online course in ‘Object Orientated Programming’. In 6 lessons you can learn the basic principles of the programming language Processing and design your own character. At the end of the course you can ‘release’ this character into the virtual environment created especially by artist Daan van Hasselt. So if you take part in Coded Creatures you will not only start with creative programming, but also contribute to an artistic eco system.
MU Play&Learn is the online atelier of MU art space in Eindhoven (NL). On www.muplaynlearn.nl you can find apps, workshops and video tutorials and you can play with the creative digital tools used by contemporary artists. MU is an adventurous guide to the outskirts of contemporary art, for today and tomorrow, and for a wide audience. With MU Play&Learn MU intends to involve its audience more actively and see if the latest in digital tools can bring together different generations.
Coded Creatures was developed by FIBER for MU Play&Learn in collaboration with Daan van Hasselt (art direction, education) and David Jonas (Developer).
