Second edition of Viu

From February 13 to 16, collective in residence Toplap organizes VIU, the second edition of the Live Coding meeting at Hangar. Viu will bring several workshops set up by members of the community, in addition to live coding performances.

This meeting is an invitation to learn about this practice, participate and exchange experiences with the community of Barcelona.

Thursday 13

Marathon from scratch

The technique from scratch consists of playing live for 9 minutes starting with an empty screen, making transparent the tools (classes, functions, data structures, etc.) that allow the livecoder to carry out the different musical tasks within the performance. If you are interested in participating, sign up at this link: https://cloud.hangar.org/apps/polls/poll/GRJ96n9LTYUZiGzE . And if you want to attend as a public, you just need to come and applaud at the end of the 9 minutes, No matter what happens!

Taller de Hydra, visuales con Live Coding por Citlali Hernandez

Hydra is a platform for making visuals through live code, created by Olivia Jack and inspired by modular analog synthesizers. Each video source (geometric shapes, oscillators, cameras, etc) can be generated, transformed and modulated live through text instructions.

Hydra can be used directly from a web browser. Each time it is loaded, a random code appears that can be modified. It is also possible to install hydra in the atom text editor.

8 pm
ALGORAVE

Algoraves are events where music generated with algorithms is danced, including the practice of live coding, as well as other approaches to control and perform generative music.
