FTP Artist Meet-up

FTP is a monthly, open session for learning about new tools for the development of digital arts projects. It is a space to share current projects or create new collaborations with peers.

The meet-up is free and open to all. Bring along a laptop or project if you’d like to share it with the group.

The meet-up also follows a code of conduct.

For further information please email mateus.domingos@phoenix.org.uk

Whilst Phoenix is closed we’ll be continuing to run planned sessions online. We will also be introducing extra sessions that will give artists a chance to have the kind of conversations they might usually have been having in studio spaces.

In this session we’ll be looking at some of the tools available for creating augmented reality work. We’ll go through a short workshop-style introduction to Spark AR which can be used to build filters for Instagram and Facebook, and we’ll also discuss some other options for exploring AR.
Follow along at home and ask questions using the chat feed.
