hey good morning I just shook Tim berners-lee's hand no big deal and right after it was done I was like achievement unlocked motherfucker so if you haven't unlocked that achievement he's somewhere Tim run achievement unlocked hi so I'm Joshua
Davis really excited to be here I have to extend a huge amount of gratitude for you all in the group because you've given me my life's calling you've given me my career so I can't thank you enough for having me here and letting me share a little
bit of my experience strength and hope I got onto the web around 94 or so I think Netscape 2 had just come out and I would SS I would ssh into my server and I would write HTML and VI live yeah that's how oh gee this shit is like crazy no Emacs was way
too complicated I couldn't figure out any of that crap so yeah I'm gonna spend the next 6 hours talking to you about SVG no no I'm gonna spend the next hour just showing some of my projects and kind of what I'm working on now and and just and
just things that I think about I am a creative coder you know I talk about the early days of the internet for me because it wasn't about getting a job and it wasn't about buying books and it wasn't about any of that for me I saw it as a canvas
to make art you know I saw it as as a place where I could express myself and holy crap I had a global audience you know and and and and before this I thought oh you know I'll just I'll just be an artist and you know I'll get that art show in the
coffee shop you know and then eventually I'll move up to the gallery and then before I died you know maybe I'll get into a museum and so actually the opposite happened I've been in about ten different museums and I've never had a single coffee
shop show so one of these days one of these days I will be in a fucking coffee shop so yes in 2006 I was inducted into the cooper-hewitt National Design Museum triennial which is owned by the Smithsonian and I'm not dead which is a super bonus a few years
around that time I was in John made his book called a creative code again just this this generation of designers and artists that are that are using web tools that are using media and and the platform of the web to actually make art the while that's fun
I do have clients the last project I worked on maybe some of you know was IBM Watson I designed the face of Watson that actually played played jeopardy so that was super fun you had these two really smart guys sandwiched between my artwork which was which
is super fun so last year I really talked about this project there's plenty of stuff online that you can check out so I won't I won't talk about that any further but I do write programs to generate art and specifically vector based assets so what
I'll do is I'll use web technologies to generate a bunch of rules and boundaries and I'll store colors and array lists and then I run this program and this program has a certain way of generating patterns and aesthetic and it presents a composition
with me for me and again it's like a snowflake I could run this this program over and over and over again and get an infinite number of randomly generated compositions so for me this is play but it's caught it's kind of beyond play you know for
me somehow I figured out how to make this play sort of my my daily job and I can trace it back very early you know I went to Catholic school you know it was spring 1980 st. Mary's Catholic school in Littleton Colorado you know and and it was the playground
it was on the playground and there was all sorts of stuff like a football an American football see I did that my European friends hula-hoop you know but I grabbed the stick and what I would do is I'd push the gravel out of the way and I would start carving
these shapes in the in the in the in the dirt and kids would come over and be like dude the fuck are you doing and I said well you're gonna believe this but I found dinosaur bones on the playground and I was convinced I would carve these shapes and that
I was that I had found dinosaur bones on our playground Littleton Colorado st. Mary's all right you know st. Mary's own elementary school we don't look like 6 inches under the gravel who knew and so you know the kids would be like dude you're
you're you're fucking weird I don't know tell you but what happened is is that the nuns called my house and they said listen your son has this knack for creating things he's very creative and he's weird frankly and what happened is is that
my parents took this as a okay well we need to nurture this and by 2nd grade my parents were taking me to museums and to galleries and they were you know telling me about the art world and they were buying the oils I was like second grade and I was working
with turpentine says a lot so essentially that play became work and so it made me think about this word right work and and not necessarily the action but more the word of work and so I said to some friends I said listen I'm gonna give this talk and it's
gonna be called beyond play and I'm gonna do my whole presentation on play and why I think play is important and a few of my friends said well that's a terrible idea because people have to work for a living and nobody wants to hear you talk about play
and I said what do you mean they said people have to work and they don't want to hear you talk about play and so I said well I don't understand this so I decided I was going to conduct this experiment and what I did was is I asked 20 adults and said
what is the opposite of work and all 20 people said that the opposite of work was play and this confused me because that wasn't my answer and so I went to social media I went onto Twitter I went on Facebook and I said listen I need parents out there to
ask your kids what is the opposite of work and I got about a hundred results back and only about four children actually said play most of them said a lot of other things age eleven said lazy age ten said home you're not at work your fucking ass is home
no I'm saying relaxed like that boring very good hard now I thought this was an odd answer why would the opposite of work be hard and so I asked and the kids said well if you're not doing anything that's pretty hard and what I found is is that
actually kindergarten teachers and preschool teachers actually tell children when they're engaged in creative play Oh what great work you're doing so kids associate very young that work is play that play is work that what they're doing is the same
thing and then so I can't be the conclusion that work and play actually aren't antonyms they're actually synonyms so how can we how can we bring more play into our workplaces how can we bring more play into our creative process so where did this
all start well this is Mark Tila he lives in Cologne Germany and he actually runs a conference in cologne called beyond tell Iran which is German for beyond play and he invited me there and I said oh that's just great I you know I really liked the name
of your conference and I think I'm gonna make my my presentation and so I went and talked about this process now I use a language called processing which has been around for a little while sits on top of Java and I enjoy it because I can load an SVG and
I'm really I'm really in love with SVG I just want to we're dating exclusively so I really like this process of loading in SVG and writing programs to generate compositions and so some of my SPG's will look like this they're very very complex
and I'll load them into these art banks and generate these these these really crazy compositions and again these compositions are are random so I go where was I go to I go to Germany and I and I give this talk about about play I give this talk about about
