Workshops I taught through NYU’s ITP summer camp, and through Pacific Northwest College of the Art’s Make+Think+Code program. The classes cover methods by which to exchange data between software and hardware that wasn’t originally designed to talk to one another by leveraging their underlying protocols. .
