We're very excited to kick off our 2017 meetup series with a speaker session on creative coding.
We'll be hearing from some amazing developers who have married their creativity and code to make extraordinary things.
Dennis and Debbie Club
Dennis and Debbie Club was established in late 2014 by the German-born and Glasgow-based artists Dennis R. and Debbie M.
D&D work digitally with open-source software, creating CGI animations, video installations and VR apps.
We're still looking for speakers so if you've got a project or story that you'd like to share then email us [masked].
Claire Quigley
Claire Quigley has been involved in running CoderDojo Scotland since it started in 2012. One of her aims there has been to encourage more young people to engage with coding, particularly girls.
One approach to this was running sessions where coding was introduced as a tool for creating something. For example, music or interactive fiction.
In this talk she’ll describe a couple of these sessions, and chat about her experiences with other cool (and sometimes strange) uses of code.

"Playful Interaction with Spherical Displays in Public Spaces"
I am a lecturer in HCI at the University of Glasgow. I am part of the Glasgow Interactive Systems Group (GIST), leading the Public and Performative Interaction theme within GIST. My research focuses on how people use technology in public spaces and how interactive technologies can be designed given the “performative” aspects of using technology in public. My current research looks at playful interfaces for public spaces the use embedded interaction, large format displays, and whole body input.
Over the past two years, I’ve completed a series of playful and performative deployments in public spaces using spherical displays. Spherical displays are compelling interactive devices, and we’ve used this hardware as the centre-piece of collaborations with artists, designers, and musicians. During this talk, I will discuss these creative projects and how code and art can come together to create beautiful, playful, and immersive experiences.
