Vera Molnar Reconstructed 3/3

Hello folks, ✌️

I hope you are all well! This week was totally busy. I teach at Elisava in March and on Wednesday I gave a talk about my master thesis. The hall was pretty full and I had a lot of fun. However, it was also really exhausting and now I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend. 

I would have been super happy to share the recording of the talk with you guys, however there were technical issues there and the audio wasn't included. 🙈

Livestream announcement: Vera Molnar Reconstructed

Hello friends, ✌️

I hope you are doing well! As you know I put a lot of energy into the course "Molnar Reconstructed" in the last weeks. In the next weeks I want to deepen the topic and that's why I'm planning several livestream sessions right now, which I want to share with you via Patreon. 🔥 Be there live and watch me recreate Vera Molnar's abstract compositions. Feel free to comment, of course, and the video will also be available to watch later.

These are the dates:

Creative Coding Barcelona

Hello you, ☀️

I hope you are well! I’m sending you some good vibes from Barcelona!

After 3 weeks in this beautiful metropole, I have now settled in quite well here. I really like it a lot here and I will stay until mid-April. Maybe longer :-)

I had the great luck to find a wonderful coworking space (called Glashaus) with the best colleagues on this planet righ...

New course draft: Molnar Reconstructed ☀️

Dear people, ☀️

greetings from beautiful Barcelona. I'm here for the second week now and have met some great people in the meantime. I'm even in the process of planning a casual "Creative Coding Barcelona" meetup, we've started a WhatsApp group and if you're also from the area I'd be very happy if you join as well. Other than that, I'm making great progress. I'm ...

Greetings from Barcelona / Call for corrections! 🔍

Hey there, ✌️

i hope you are doing well!

Today i send you some warm and sunny greetings from one of the most beautiful cities i have ever seen: Right now i am sitting in a co-working space called “Glashaus” in a district called “Poblenou”. There are great people working here who I hope to get to know better over the next few weeks.

In the last few months I've put a lot of energy into translating all the courses and lessons into p5.js. Although th...

Lena Weber on "Ambiguous Aesthetics" 🔥

I've been working intensively with Lena Weber for the last few months. First we realized the project for Slate+Ash together, which worked out great. Since then she's been supporting me intensively as a freelancer, translated hundreds of code snippets from Processing to p5.js, unified all lessons and gave me extremely valuable feedback. 

Furthermore, Lena wrote a brilliant master thesis abo...

My first week in Spain

Dear you, 

today I send you many sunny greetings from Cubelles south of Barcelona! On Sunday, I arrived here in this beautiful little town by the sea, where time stands virtually still. I had Monday then the whole day to take a long walk by the sea and arrive here inwardly. After the turbulent we...

A brief update on my progress, plans and priorities 🧭

Hey! I hope you are well! 🙌

It's time again for a personal video, in which I want to give you an overview of what's coming up, what ideas I have and what priorities I set. 

In short and concise it's about the following topics: 

- My time in Barcelona
- Working with Martin Lorenz
- Decisions in website design
- Conversations as a content format
- Podcast? (Just an idea)
- All courses are now bilingual
- New course outlines

Milestone reached: All public courses are now ported to p5.js!

Hey there, ☀️

here's a quick update: The courses "Modulo Mixtape" and "Advanced Layout Techniques" are now completely translated to p5.js. This makes the complete curriculum now bilingual: All code blocks in the lessons are now available for Processing as well as for p5.

New Tutorial: Creating a network diagram with object oriented programming in Processing

Hey there!

I hope you are well and you have slipped easy into the new year! 🍾

Today I post here a new tutorial, In which I explain and use the fundamentals of object-oriented programming. This is a super important principle in coding that opens up a new universe of possibilities. 

Till now I used to avoid working with O.O.P. to keep the courses all low-level. But in the meantime, however, the curriculum has been developed to such an extent that I am ...

My new course "Modulo Mixtape" is out now! 🔥

Dear you,

I hope you're well and had a great christmas time 🎄 (assuming you celebrate this holiday at all). Finally I can share my new course "Modulo Mixtape" with you today! Admittedly, it took me much longer than originally planned and I didn't stick to the plans in the roadmap. I feel a bit bad about this... But i am also very pleased because this course adds a simple tool to the curriculum that you can use in a variety of ways in your work.

For me, developi...

Back from Munich / Spain / New lessons / happy holidays!

Dear patron,

I hope you are doing well, even though most people are pretty hectic before Christmas. Today I'm going to bring you up to date on what's going on behind the scenes here. 

Back from Munich 🎥

I was on the road with Martin Lorenz the last few days, we were first in Munich to give an interview at Taaalks, and the...

You can now comment lessons and courses on timrodenbroeker.de

Dear Patreon community,

this is a small update that is very important to me. The backstory is that when I develop the courses, I often do it all by myself. Sure, I do get feedback from the community and sometimes from my students, but I also think I miss a lot because some of you don't use the Discord server and are primarily on the website. For me your feedback is hugely important! That's why I now have a comment function built into the website, which works really straightforward. At t...

a conversation with Martin Lorenz on the intersection of creative coding and flexible visual systems ✌️

Hey there! ☀️

I hope you are enjoing your weekend! Today I am sending you something to read: About two years ago I invited one of my early design heros, Martin Lorenz, for an online talk. Since that day we became close friends and now we are developing ideas on the intersection of flexible visual systems and creative coding to synchronize our teaching content. We have some ...

"Modulo Mixtape" - exclusive preview 💥

Dear patrons, 

I hope you are all well! I've been working pretty busy the last few days on the courses. I'm especially happy with the lessons I recorded for Modulo Mixtape, which I share with you today in this preview. The spectrum of possible applications is really amazing: from creating rhythmic patterns to controlling Boomerang animations. And I think there's even more to discover. 

I will port the code-snippets to p5.js as well in the end when i am f...

Mastering the Modulo Operator (%)

Hi everyone, 

I hope you are doing well!☀️

A few weeks ago I published a roadmap for the development of my courses, which should set a tight pace. One of the courses I had planned to publish soon was "Form follows Music". I was supposed to have full mastery of this topic for several reasons: First, the course content is based on a project I already did in 2018 (or was it 2017?), second, I already gave a workshop that was about this very topic. Nevertheles...
