● How do recent technological developments empower makers to generate new creative avenues? How is the creative coding landscape going to evolve in the coming few years? These questions will be explored during the creative coding symposium ITERATIONS. With a focus on inclusivity, we invited an international group of makers from different disciplines to talk about how they use code as a creative medium. In the form of presentations, interactive sessions, and workshops we will discuss the themes: machine learning, computational craft, and creative education.
November 27–29

In this workshop we explore how type design can become a process of encoding, translating ideas, data, or emotions into visual systems. In typography, letterforms always encode more than just the words themselves. Their form, structure, and rhythm become part of the message and shape how we experience written language. This workshop is led by Katharina Nejdl, a graphic designer, developer, and educator interested in using digital technologies such as web, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence as graphic tools. No experience needed, but don’t forget to bring your laptop!
What does your environment sound like when you truly listen?
In this workshop developed in collaboration with Environments and Rewire Outreach you will explore field recording, audio journaling and collective soundmapping. Together we listen, capture and map the sounds around us, building a shared portrait of our surroundings through rhythm, texture and memory.
Guided by sound artist and educator Robin Koek, you will learn to document the world from an auditory perspective and discover how sound connects narrative, place and personal experience.
Open to anyone curious about sound, ecology and creative exploration.
What new possibilities open up when animation becomes a live instrument?
In the Animatron Workshop you will create frame by frame animations in real time using drawing, coding and rhythm. Animatron mixes classic 2D techniques with algorithmic sequencing, letting you improvise visuals on the spot.
You control everything through OSC and MIDI, so you can use your laptop, a MIDI controller, your phone or any device you like. It is open source, built in Godot and perfect for multidisciplinary projects.
You will install the software, create your own animations, load material dynamically, tweak visuals on the fly and even sync everything with audio. Expect a playful, collaborative session where animations become visual poetry.
Led by illustrator, animator and live coder Roger Pibernat.
No animation or coding experience needed.
How can we work with machine learning in ways that are ethical, local, and grounded in community care? In this two day lab, makers, artists, and researchers open up their practices around working with small datasets and small scale AI. Instead of thinking bigger, faster, and heavier, we explore what becomes possible when you choose to work small.
Day 1
13:00 - 15:00 With workshop Iván Paz
15:00 - 17:00 - Show & Tell by participants
Day 2
10:00 - 12:00 - Workshop with Computational Mama
12:00 - 13:00 - Collective Lunch
13:00 - 15:00 - Workshop With Lina Bautista
15:00 - 17:00 - Wrap-up and drinks
This lab is part of an ongoing conversation about building AI practices that are sovereign, sustainable, and shared. It is a community programme where everyone can take part. You join the full two days and only pay for lunch.
