👾CCU, UTwente and Katpatat would like to invite you to join our play-test this Friday for the Future Frictions interactive experience (app) at CCU Studio!

The play test will last two hours (drinks included) and the purpose is for you to create a future vision for the city you live in, focusing on a topic that is relevant to you. Future Frictions are all interactions between individuals and collective values in sustainable cities, and between our experience of the city, nature and technologies. It would be great to see you there and hear what you think about the web experience!

There’s more: since you’re giving us your data, we’re giving you a Datalek back! Disclaimer: no actual data will be leaked, that is just the name of the very limited edition beer by House of Pint, created especially for the Composting Computers exhibition and workshop programme!

📅  Friday 21 June, 17:00 - 19:00
📌 CCU Studio, Vlampijpstraat 84, Utrecht
🎫 Free! Leave a comment to register your interest

Hey Creative Coders!

We have two events about Esolangs coming up 🪄 these events are for those interested in exploring unconventional, creative languages designed to challenge traditional coding norms. If traditional programming hasn’t resonated with you, this workshop offers a new perspective that might click! Both are suitable for beginners, you just need to bring your curiosity and an open mind!

In the meetup on Thursday 17 October, David Zwitser will introduce BQN and host a live demo. Afterwards, Daniel Temkin will join online from New York to present his research on programming languages that move beyond English and Western logic, incorporating languages like Arabic and Yoruba.

Tickets: click here for tickets to the meetup

If you want to expand your knowledge on BQN, you can join a the dedicated workshop on Saturday 19 October!

UPDATE: Due to circumstances we are postponing the dedicated Esolangs Workshop to a later date. If you are a ticket holder you have received an email with more information. Please stay tuned as the new date for the workshop will be announced soon!

Enter the world of MAGICAL CODING, where programming becomes a playground for the curious and creative! This is not your average workshop, it’s a place to bend the rules, experiment with ideas, and see code come alive in unexpected ways.

With David Zwitser as your guide, you’ll dive into BQN, a programming language that feels like learning a new alphabet of possibilities. Like a magician’s spell book, BQN’s glyphs and symbols open up new ways to think about programming. It’s not just about getting things done, it’s about uncovering the wonder and creativity hidden in the world of code!

Whether you’re an experienced programmer or just someone with an imagination to spark, this workshop invites you to step into the unknown and let curiosity lead the way.
