▓▓▓ Who's Behind This
A half-day of code that draws.
Of systems that surprise.
Of a community that builds in the open.
Processing Community Day (PCD) is a global network of locally organized events celebrating the Processing programming language and the creative coding community it has built over more than two decades.
Amsterdam's edition is a free afternoon of workshops, talks, and live coding. We welcome anyone who makes things with code, or wants to start.
Whether you have written one sketch or one thousand, you belong here. English-language event. All skill levels welcome.
Welcome from the organizers.
A hands-on introduction to Processing. No experience needed. Bring a laptop 💻. You will leave with a generative sketch you made yourself.
3–4 speakers present generative systems, interactive works, and creative tools. 10 minutes each + Q&A. Selected for range: visual art, music, data, performance, space.
Code written live. Projected large. For everyone. A visual algorave to close the day: the craft always visible on screen.
We are curating presentations for the Open Systems block of PCD Amsterdam 2026. Each slot is 15 minutes: 10 minutes of presentation followed by 5 minutes of audience questions.
We actively encourage applications from people who have never presented before. You do not need a polished final product. You need something worth thinking about together.
Applications reviewed by a panel of community members. We aim to respond within three weeks of the deadline.
Fill in the application form. It takes about 10 minutes.
