Participants from our live coding workshops will present their work within Permanent Distraction.
Over a series of workshops with Antonio Roberts has worked with participants from our family workshops, our young peoples programme, and our volunteers to create visuals using live coding techniques.
For one hour these creations will take over our exhibition space and participants will be able to see their work at large scale.
