A course by Alexandre B A Villares
As an artist, Alexandre delves into the fascinating realm of creative programming, exploring the creation of unique works of art through the use of code. Through this fusion of art and technology, he generated posters and designs that found their way into magazines and exhibitions, highlighting his ability to merge modernist avant-gardes with geometric and abstract themes.
As an educator, Alexandre shares his knowledge and passion with others, actively dedicating himself to teaching programming to artists and designers. Its objective is to demonstrate how programming can be not only useful, but also expressive and poetic within the visual arts.
