from the blog: The winner of Tiny Sketch: Dotlassie takes you through a roadtrip in Iceland!

Rhizome just announced the winner of the Tiny Sketch competition, an open challenge to artists and programmers to create the most compelling creative work possible with the programming language Processing using 200 characters or less. The submission and voting phases are over and we are proud to announce that the winning sketch, as determined by Rhizome's members, is Driving through Iceland by dotlassie.

As OpenProcessing and Rhizome, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in Tiny Sketch -- it was a real success and we couldn't have pulled it off without your support. The collection will be on permanent display in two locations; it will exist as a closed archive containing all of the entries that were submitted to the original contest in Rhizome's ArtBase, and as an open collection at OpenProcessing where people can continue to submit sketches that follow the Tiny Sketch rules. I will open the collection for new submissions, to be collected under Tiny Sketch concept as soon as possible (once I organize all the sketches submitted for the competition).

Processing in education

There are many classes and workshops around the world that teach Processing, and OpenProcessing.org is a host to many of these, by allowing professors and students to collaborate on the web, and share with the world how they study Processing.
