hello wor(l)d! Workshop — Pure Data, Microcodes, Fluxus :: March 2-4, 2010; 10:00 am – 5:00 pm :: het Paleis (Erlenmeyer zaal), Boterdiep 111, Groningen (NL) :: Call for Participation — Deadline February 19.

The workshop hello wor(l)d! is an introduction to 3 different artistic approaches to programming, using three different programming styles: graphical, textual (code poetry) and live coding. The workshop gives a taste of all three flavours and is meant as inspiration and exploration for those artists curious about these forms of art. You cannot learn how to program in 3 days, especially not in 3 different ways, but it is well worth giving different languages and styles a try.

Day 1: Pure Data by IOhannes Zmölnig
Day 2: Microcodes by Pall Thayer
Day 3: Fluxus by Dave Griffiths and Gabor Papp

No previous programming experience required, as long as you’re not afraid to work in a terminal. Basic experience with any scripting or markup language (even if it is HTML/CSS) will make it easier to follow.

Entrance: free!, but please register (limited places available) — send name, phone, and CV to signnl [at] gmail.com. If you are bringing a laptop, please specify your operating system.

Hello wor(l)d! is part of make art, an international festival focused on Free/ Libre/ Open Source Software (FLOSS) and open content in digital arts. Make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an exhibition, focused on the blurred line between art and software programming.

The fifth edition – chmod +x art – will take place in Groningen (NL), from the 2nd to the 7th of March 2010.

Organised by Sign and GOTO10
