July 4th 2PM: workshop: Fluxus - Scheme livecoding, animation, games and plants
with Dave Griffiths [UK] at pickledfeet

In this workshop you will find out about the emerging art form of
livecoding and learn how to write simple scripts to create animations in
3D space. After an introduction to the scheme programming language and
how to use it to build shapes and animate them, you will be let loose on
prototype game code for groworld - a game still in production which
takes elements from guerilla gardening, permaculture and plant growth.

No previous programming experience required. Interest in games and
plants a bonus :)

Please install fluxus prior to the workshop, which you can find here:
http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/packages/

Windows version not recommended at present due to instability, an
alternative is to use a bootable CD linux distro such as this one
which will be made available on the day: https://devel.goto10.org/puredyne

Details: http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/

Cost: 10 euros (including food).

Please email m at 1010.co.uk to reserve a place (strictly limited)

July 5th 8PM: performance:  Fluxus live coding with Dave Griffiths and
all participants at General Public

Dave Griffiths is one part of Slub:

Slub sound emerges from slub software; melodic and chordal studies,
generative experiments and beat processes. Process-based sonic
improvisations; live generative music using hand crafted and live coded
apps, scripts and l-systems in networked synchrony. With roots in UK
electronica and tech culture, slub build their own software environments
for creating music in realtime. Only custom composition and DSP software
is used. Everything you hear is formed by human minds.

Slub project their screens so that the audience are able to appreciate
their live software development process, which does not adhere to
industry quality control standards. They communicate using OSC over UDP
and eyebrow gestures. The output ranges from extra slow gabba, through
intelligent ambient to acid blues glitch.
