Many processes in nature follow an inherent logic that we want to unveil. In a playful setting we discover how things and beings in our immediate environment behave, interact and exchange matter, signals, energy and information. | Many processes in nature follow an inherent logic that we want to unveil.

The first workshop ( | The first workshop (''A Dish of Code'') conveys solid foundations of programming. We will translate algorithms into natural arrangements, but also write computer programs, that interact with nature and evaluate it. Since we primarily evaluate nature using visual sensors, we will incidentally learn the foundations of image processing and recognition. | ||

The workshop | The workshop ''A Drop of Paint'' shows how water is organizing itself on glass surfaces. In dialog with a scientist we observe patterns and rules of the experiment and develop an aesthetic application. | ||
