We can finally reveal that our office space got a (very) warm reboot last weekend ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŽ‰

From now on, Creative Coding Utrecht will be nesting in the Boomhut, a multi-story creative hub right in the middle of Hof van Cartesius. Our new, multifunctional space will host workshops, performances, exhibitions, artist residencies, and much more. We will miss our old office at De Havenloods, but we are looking forward to becoming part of the Hof ecosystem and to welcoming you in our brand new spot โœจ

Stay tuned for our official opening date!

New location:
๐Ÿ“ Vlampijpstraat 84, Hof van Cartesius, 3534 AR Utrecht

Our website just got a full makeover! Behind the scenes, our very own Sietse van der Meer has been building the new online space for all things Creative Coding based on the design of Frosnapers, the creator of CCUโ€™s visual identity. And donโ€™t worry: although we do love us some Permacomputing, we left Clippy at home for this one.

Have some fun shuffling around the homepage widgets, and have a look around! CCU team members have contributed to different features on the website to give it that stunning look. You will find our past and future events, news and info about who we are and what we do.

Stay tuned for our upcoming events in September!

Autumn is coming! And so are our monthly community meetups. We start off with a collaboration with NL_CL on September 12th in our brand new office space.

During this meetup, we will get together to talk about live coding. Anyone is welcome to take the HDMI cable and present their work-in-progress, display the issues theyโ€™ve been running into, and show their solutions! We will end the night with an open-stage jam, where we will be experimenting with live coded music and visuals.

Everyone is welcome to join the conversation, no previous coding experience is necessary. Come and hang out!

Netherlands Coding Live aka "NL_CL" is a series of live coding sessions, discussions, workshops and more, organized by live coders based in The Netherlands.

During our open office, anyone is welcome to take a seat at the table to ask questions, share their stories, and advise each other.

CCU is where art and technology come together. Come and find out how! Artists from our community will showcase their work, and give interactive demonstrations. You can even discover how algorithms work by drawing them on paper!

๐ŸŽฎ Your โ€œoldโ€ console can find a new life! In this Permacomputing workshop by Rein van der Woerd, youโ€™ll learn to hack and write your own programs for the Nintendo DS, incorporating its (touch)screens, graphics, speakers, microphone, multiplayer-abilities and all sorts of other weird extensions.

๐ŸŽฎ Ready to replace that old Brain Training cartridge with your own brand new DJing programme? Or custom Nintendo DS interactive art? Or whatever your imagination comes up with? Come join us!

๐ŸŽฎ You guessed it: we have some more Permacomputing lined up for you! During this meetup, anyone can take the stage and present their own work (in progress)!

๐ŸŽฎ FYI, even if you have never written a line of code before this meetup is for you! Our artist in residence Rein van der Woerd will help you consider what a Permacomputing approach to your art, academic practice or everyday life could look like.

๐ŸŽฎ Want to indulge in some '80s and '90s nostalgia? Freddy Offenga aka F#READY will introduce you to the Demoscene, an international computer art subculture focused on producing demos. Time to dust off your Atari 2600!
