openFrameworks Workshop - YCAM, Japan

In September 2008 I travelled to the Yamaguchi Centre for Art and Media (YCAM), Japan to take part in the InterLab – openFrameworks workshop. The workshop was presented by Zach Lieberman and Theo Watson, who founded and maintain the openFrameworks project, bringing together open source c/c++ libraries for the specific purpose of creating new media art projects. My participation in the workshop, facilitated by the ANAT Professional Development Travel Grant, has greatly strengthened my skills as an artist and programmer.
