Dive into the world of creative coding and sound design in this hands-on workshop led by multimedia artist and Everglades Computer Club member, Lenny Foret. Explore the intersection of code and music as Lenny demonstrates how to generate dynamic, algorithmic compositions using accessible programming tools. Perfect for beginners and curious creators alike, this workshop will provide participants with foundational skills to begin crafting their own sonic experiments. Artists and attendees of all skill levels are strongly encouraged to #BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) and follow along!

Linger late for an electrifying live performance by Portland-based experimental duo MSHR, the art collective of Birch Cooper and Brenna Murphy. Founded in 2011 in Portland, Oregon, their work merges digital sculpture, analog circuitry, and ceremonial performance to create immersive audiovisual environments. Using custom-built synthesizers, open-source software, and feedback systems, they craft generative installations and live performances that respond to human presence. Emerging from Oregon Painting Society, MSHR has exhibited internationally at venues like Transmediale (Berlin), Eyebeam (NYC), and Kunstverein Düsseldorf. Their name, a modular acronym, reflects their evolving, interdisciplinary approach to building self-transforming, cybernetic systems of light and sound.

This event is free and open to the public, and presented as part of the Knight Digital Innovation Initiative at Locust Projects. Complimentary refreshments are available for guests aged 21 and older courtesy of Topo Chico.
