His interests in digital art and book collecting periodica lly collide\, grinding his brain to a halt. After years of working throu gh this morass\, he’s got thoughts enough to fill a talk &\; therapy session on the physical potentials of generative art. Let’s discuss! Gen erative Things: What happens when algorithms get physical? So you have a generative art project and you’ve chosen a single generated image for a n art print. Now where is the essence of your project? What is the relat ionship of that print to your algorithm? Artists that work with generati ve processes have a problematic relationship with traditional means of p roduction and distribution of art products. What solutions do we have\, apart from bolting an iPad to the wall? Community Presentations As alwa ys\, we're looking to you\, the community and members of the group\, to present a project or give a short talk. If you have something to show an d/or tell (and I know you do)\, please use this sign-up form. You could present: • a short case study for a finished product • an interactive wo rk you've been jamming on  • a work in progress that you are excited abo ut and want to get feedback on • lessons learned from a past project  • anything you want! This is your group!  New to public speaking or nervou s about giving a talk? We're here to help. Send us a message and we can help to craft the amazing presentation inside of you. \n\nTags: meetup:e vent=219455378\, meetup:group=PDX-Creative-Coders\n\nImported from: http ://calagator.org/events/1250467682 URL:http://www.meetup.com/PDX-Creative-Coders/events/219455378/ SUMMARY:PDX Creative Coders: Show & Tell w/ speaker Chris Adams LOCATION:Instrument: 419 NE 10th Ave\, Portland Oregon 97232 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150624T183624Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150624T193000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150624T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150624T183624Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150624T183624Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250468688 DESCRIPTION:** If you have never been to a meetup by this group or are cu rious what we do\, this is going to be a doozy of an event.

A dozen members of this group have gather ed to work on this generative art project over a six week time period. O n June 24th\, their work will be released as limited edition prints. In addition to an overview of the project from Chris Adams and John Brown\, three of the participating artists will talk about their work and the p rocess.

In the last decade or so\, we've put touchscreens on nearly everything\, digitizing interactions and rele gating them to two-dimensional screen space and the purview of interacti on and graphic designers. \;\n \;\nWe are about to undergo another paradigm change in computing and will need to shift expectations around design\, materiality and experience. Breaking away from screen-based in teractions is not going to be easy\, but it will be an opportunity for d esigners of different disciplines to collaborate in a new and immersive space. \;\n \;\nAs a young girl\, Alysha Naples wanted to be an as tronaut\, a dinosaur or a Solid Gold dancer. Instead\, she studied graph ic design\, moved to San Francisco (Method\, Blurb and HP Labs) and beca me obsessed with interaction and experience. Until recently\, she was Ma gic Leap’s Senior Director of User Experience and Interaction\, a positi on which felt a lot like she’s was going back to kindergarten and gettin g a PhD at the same time. \;\n \;\nJoin us for Beyond the Screen.
