A few weeks ago I had the honor to meet Raphaël de Courville in person at the audivisual jam at MotionLab in Berlin. Many of you might be familiar with him, as he has built a great community for Creative Coding. On Sundays he can usually be found streaming on Twitch, he authored more than 100 Creative Coding newsletters, he founded the Creative Code Berlin and now he works for the Processing Foundation as community lead. I immediately invited him for a conversation and here it is! Yay!
