Anne-Laure Buisson, Gijs de Heij, and An Mertens welcome you to a three-hour workshop around the Tree Times installation.

One of the installation’s components is the diaries of the three Scots pines. You can request fragments via text message. Each fragment consists of two parts: an automatically generated sentence based on the measured data from the trees, and a handwritten fragment. The fragments are sent via a Python script running on Termux, an app you can install on a smartphone that provides an Android phone with a terminal, a basic computer interface.

During this workshop, we will look at how to easily generate automatic sentences based on a spreadsheet. You are welcome to bring your own spreadsheet with data!
Depending on time and enthousiasm, we will also explore the automatic sending of the generated sentences via text message.

You are very welcome!
No programming experience is necessary; being interested is enough. Please bring a laptop and an Android phone if you have one.
