you are cordially invited to join me for this online workshop on March 27th, 2025, presented in collaboration with A Writer's Party, in which we'll be experimenting with what I'm calling "code sonnets" – 14-line poems, with a turn at line 8, made of executable code. We'll be focused on making these in javascript using the p5.js library, but of course, you're welcome to use whatever you'd like. You can register for the workshop at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/okYyxkWBQoao6txf_nNHGg#/registration, and you can find some examples at https://williamhazard.co/sketches/boom-red/ and https://williamhazard.co/sketches/teapot/.
In the workshop, we'll go over these examples together, and then you'll get some time to make something of your own and share it with the group. You don't have to download anything to participate – you can make pieces just like those examples entirely in the browser, using the handy p5.js code editor and reference, which I'll introduce you to in the workshop. I'm excited to explore these ideas together, and my hope is that they'll provide a fun and approachable introduction to creative coding for newcomers and an interesting and inspiring challenge for everyone. I hope you'll join us.

highly recommend staring at static and listening to noise for long periods of time as a form of divination. I've created a couple little scripts to facilitate this practice; please feel free to grab them from my GitHub if you're so inclined.
