A new life suddenly thrust upon the senior class of 2020 – so close to graduation. Together students and educators scrambled to figure out the final school weeks in a new online format while dealing with the Coronavirus outbreak. Suddenly, curriculum plans were no longer viable as regular school resources, spaces, and systems were unavailable. For our part, we did our best to communicate through Zoom and learn the open-source, computer programming language: p5js (a form of Javascript). Students programmed graphic art, animations, and interactive sketches examining their environments and daily experiences in this uncharted territory. Weekly code doodle themes included: life under quarantine, life in a screen, and a door I would like to open.

Jackson Ducksworth
A Door I Would Like to Open
Instructions: I was thinking about the boat ride from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and listening to Minimal Man while making this. It’s all about escaping your mind, with a bunch of sliding doors floating through. At the end of the hallway of the mind is a dead end with the text “watch your step” displayed on it. This is meant to represent the creative block that I’ve felt all throughout quarantine. Move your mouse to engage.
