In the Computational Design Exploratory (CoDEx), we perform exploratory operations on digital tools and algorithmic techniques for design and making through a combination of historical inquiry the making of artifacts, code, and machines. We inform and enliven historical scholarship through the making of discursive artifacts : digital and physical objects meant to instigate critical conversations and enact historical and theoretical knowledge.
