### Who can help you and how?
I would like to interview some artists with programming-related practices to get some glimpse of their workflows.
I'm thinking for example to Nathan Sinigalia, Ian Cheng, Nicolas Maigret.
I want to ask to Ariella Vidach A.i.E.P. how working with technology changed in the past 30 years.
I'm interested in the workflow of radical studios such as Open Source Publishing but also more commercial ones like Forensic Architecture and Studio Moniker.
For sure it would be interesting to get in touch with someone mantaining open source projects such as Paged.js, P5Js, vvvv, or more unconventional ones.
Some interesting things could emerge from field research directly in git repositories, issues and wikis.
The practical aspect depends on the second and third case studies. There are some communities I would like to work with: Pietre Parlanti is a non-profit association that works with the recovery of old routes and cultural heritage in Liguria, Italy. I'm already in touch with them for [Frana Futura](../frana-futura/), the documentary I'm working on with Sofia, Elena and Micalis.
