We are a London-based and online community dedicated to making space for creativity - physical space, head space, collaboration space. A playground for exploring the tools, ideas, and experiments that live at the intersection of code and art.

Information Experience Designer

In concrete terms, we’re looking at browser-based sketches (p5.js, Three.js, d3.js, GSAP, etc.), using physical tools like pen plotters, and occasionally exploring the weird and wonderful edges of creative expression.
