My master thesis "Creative Coding as a School of Thought" is now live!

Dear friends, ☀️

i hope you are doing well!

When I started my master’s program in  2019, I had one question in mind that would become the linchpin for me  in the following years: What is Creative Coding? And taken a step further, what can Creative Coding be? I wanted to find out which cultural and philosophical aspects are hidden in the intersection of art and programming and how I, as an educator, can make it easier for my  students to access this fascinating world. In doing so, I ventured deep into realms I knew very little about, such as educational policy,  philosophy, art history, and pedagogy. The result of this thought process is not a finished, closed system, but rather a collage of  different perspectives, ideas, quotes and derivations. I had to realize that I could not comprehensively understand my complex subject. In this I surprisingly discovered the great chance to look at it from completely new angles.

By freeing myself from the demand to  work in a purely scientific way and by integrating narratives and  personal experiences, I was able to connect topics that actually have  nothing to do with each other. Thus, the result of this work is not only five essays, each looking at the topic from a particular perspective,  but rather my individual way of writing about the subject. With these writings, I hope to spark new discussions about Creative Coding and make a broader perspective on the topic accessible to more people.

The publication 🔗

Now finally the moment has come: I have handed in my master thesis! It is an online publication and you can read from anywhere in the world! Under the following links you can reach

👉 the German version 

👉 the English version 

I am totally looking forward to lively discussions and fruitful exchanges about this project!

A huge thank you! 🙏

You, as patrons, have my deepest gratitude. Without the financial support from Patreon, I would have had to keep my head above water with client work in addition to building the platform and studying for my master's degree. With your support, I was able to work on my topic more deeply and intensively and share and discuss my theses directly with the community. Your feedback was and is one of the most important resources for me. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

The exhibition 🔥

Oh and before i forget it: As every semester, we have a graduation exhibition at the university. I would like to invite you all to celebrate this graduation with me! The exhibition of all master's theses will take place from July 8 to 10 in the design department of the University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld. My work will be exhibited in room 114. I will be there the whole weekend and I am happy about every visit!

With these words I leave you for the weekend. I'll get back to you as usual next Friday. 

Have a good time!

All the best,

Tim
