**To learn coding needs time, focus and ambition 
**Learn to ask the right questions regarding debugging

='''WHAT DID I ACHIEVED FROM MY 1ST TRIMESTER WISHLIST?'''=

*learned the basics of Python (the way of thinking in code)
*trained my research skills
*trained my writing skills 
*found also ways how to connect with my work (Python – DrawBot, Python – Cinema4D, Python – Blender)


='''WHERE DO I WANT TO GO?'''=

* developing further my Python3 skills
* diving into Python – DrawBot, Python – Cinema4D, Python – Blender
* diving into Openframes
* learning more about Wiki (+styling of it)
* open shaders
* vvvv
* open GL
*pure data
*p5.js

='''WHY?'''=

* A – Z  founding a studio in collaboration with Alex Roidl  – collaborative and hybrid practice in borders of new technologies and visual culture 
** the studio should have two foundations:
*** visual culture (graphic design, art direction, motion design, visual identity, website, 3D animation)
***digital culture (design research, creative coding, light - space installations, audiovisual performances)
