On-the-fly: partners meeting and Live Coding session

From October 21st to 23rd Hangar hosts the first meeting of the European project On-the-fly with partners ZKM, Ljudmila and CCU.

On-the-fly is led by Hangar and directed by Iván Paz and Lina Bautista, members of the artistic collective and collective in residence TOPLAP.

From the October 1st, 2020 to the September 30th, 2022, On-the-fly will support the development of the European live coding practice, a sound and visual creation technique, generating a technological appropriation through the use and development of free and open software.

The project, at the intersection between arts, computer science, and technology, aims at pushing forwards new creative directions for understanding and using technology and the arts through the following specific objectives:

– Strengthening cooperation within the EU live coding community by supporting transnational sharing of expertise and exchange of artistic experiences, taking into account its diversity, knowledge and learning needs

– Promoting the visibility and dissemination of live coding practices and artistic performances in Europe by bringing the general public closer to technology and arts, with particular focus on students of computer science, art and youth.

– Stimulating European interdisciplinary cooperation on live coding research and artistic practices by supporting networking and collaboration among researchers and performers for mutual learning and advancement of the EU live coding investigation.

On the occasion of the beginning of On-the-fly, on October 21st at 7p.m., Hangar will host an international Live Coding From Scratch Session where each project partner will propose two live coders. The event will have an hybrid presential/online format.
