🌱 Envision the circular future of the Werkspoorkwartier and the role you could play in this! Creative Coding Utrecht and the University of Twente invite you to the workshop Futuring in the Werkspoorkwartier on Friday December 1.

Governments are increasingly realising that a sustainable future can only be achieved by involving local residents. That's why we're collaborating to build a tool that maps alternative visions for a sustainable future. The workshop will provide space for discussion and envisioning of the future. Email us at info@creativecodingutrecht.nl if you’re interested in participating.

Note: lunch will be provided, make sure you’re on time at 12!

🌔 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 niches within the field to talk about their practice. In the form of presentations, interactive sessions, workshops and performances we will discuss four general themes: web tools, machine learning, world building, and creative education.

In this meetup, we will be enjoying the presentation by Veerle Pennock from Acid Solder Club. She shares insights on the reuse of electronics and critically examines our approach to electronic waste. Vincent Schoutsen, who is an artist and performing engineer, will discuss his projects and share his perspective within the same topic. You don't want to miss this evening, so make sure to be there! 😊

Join our permacomputing workshop: "MIDI Controllers from Scraps", hosted by Acid Solder Club's Veerle Pennock! Dive into the world of DIY MIDI controllers using scavenged parts from used machines and electronic waste. Embrace your inner Wastelander or Cyberpunk scavenger as we salvage components from abandoned MIDI controllers, radios, and old amplifiers.

This workshop is perfect for those who already are a little familiar with electronics and Arduino programming, and for who is eager to repurpose tech relics into unique MIDI controllers. Explore the wasteland of discarded electronics and craft your own musical artifact; we’re turning waste into music!

Let’s elevate our TouchDesigner skills! Join our second TouchDesigner workshop; this one is more advanced and will go into Sensor Integration & OSC Communication.

Building upon the beginners workshop we will further explore tablet interface creation, interactive installation crafting, and collaborative learning.
This will be a lot of fun for TouchDesigner enthusiasts who are already familiar with the basics, or completed our beginners workshop. No worries if you missed that though, as long as you can handle basic 2D animations in TouchDesigner, you're good to go. Workshop host Raul uses an Arduino micro-controller (the esp8266), if you have that one, or any other micro-controller yourself, please bring it with you! :)

By planting ideas in the rich soil of creative possibilities, artists are infusing new energy into a hopeful future - one where we have the power to divert the course of our technologies. They are imagining the foundations for a world where there are no such things as scraps or trash, but only creative possibilities.

This summer, get ready to enrich the humus layer of your imagination. Discover the possibilities for a future where human, nature and machines can co-exist. The Composting Computers exhibition will showcase artistic explorations born amongst the opportunities posed by e-waste repurposing and creative thinking.

Workshops will be held weekly during the expo, keep an eye out for our programme coming soon! Please note that in order to join the exhibition opening on June 15 you will need a ticket for Hof der Zotheid.

Pollinations – De Kunst van het Bestuiven


In het Pollinations programma werden vier gerenommeerde kunstenaars uit België en Nederland uitgenodigd door curator Tim Joye.

De kunstwerken van Anne Marie Maes (BE), Peter de Cupere (BE), Robin Koek (NL) en Driessens & Verstappen (NL) vragen aandacht voor bijen, bestuivers en hun leefwereld - en de uitdagingen waar ze voor voor staan.

Het Pollinations programma is een vervolg op de Bee Embassy, een werk uit 2022 dat voortvloeide uit een samenwerking tussen Zeger Reyers en Reaktor21.

De werken staan tentoongesteld in de open lucht op Stadsboerderij Steede Hoge Woerd in Utrecht de Meern en zijn te bezoeken tot en met december 2024.
