Algorave

Design: Neža Knez - knnz

DATE: 18 November 2023 | 20:00–00:30
LOCATION: Kino Šiška, Ljubljana
PASSWORD: Free entry!

After last year's successful algorave debut we will programme your dance steps once again. This time under a new code: ADELA.

Live coding is a performative genre of creative coding in which visuals, sounds or music are created by writing code in front of an audience and in real-time (with the performer’s screens prominently shown or projected), allowing the audience to enjoy the performance and gain insight into the creative process at the same time.

Eight top international and regional representatives of live coding will take us on a mission into unexplored worlds of creative coding and abstract clubbing. You are welcome to join the global algorithmic movement!
