Hybrid Live Coding Interfaces 2021: Beyond the Screen

Curated by Montreal-based artist Kofi Oduro (illestpreacha), Hybrid Live Coding Interfaces 2021: Beyond the Screen invites practitioners of live coding and those that are adjacent to submit proposals for lightning talks, mini-performances, speculations/ponderings and/or art works.

Live coding isn’t just about what is written on the screen but also the state of mind, the expression that is being executed by the performer in relation to or in accordance with the state of the intended audience. 

In this call, we are interested in proposals that explore live coding beyond the screen. Examples range from but are not limited to:

• Self Care

• Imagination

• Duality

• The Mundane

• Translation

• World building

• Journaling

• Exploring the Senses

• Exploring the World

• Self-Expression

• Remixing vs From Scratch

• Play

Exploring the World

Monday 22, 15:00-16:30 UTC - Chair Alex McLean

Exploring the World with all its Might

How does Livecoding add to this sight

Does code look at world so bright?

Or fractions of a world at night?

Livecoding doesn’t have to be view through the lenses of a computer screen

For the world lives beyond the area of where are desks reside

This session will not only explore the world but the views that come along with said exploration

Journalling

Monday 22, 18:00-19:30 UTC - Chair Kofi Oduro

Livecoding usually has the code shown

But what occurs before, during and after the code loads

What chronicles can be documented?

What relics/events from the past can be reflected upon?

How does self expression intertwine with the lines

That are written with the screen?

When does it stop being a solo endeavor

And become a team activity?

Imagination

Tuesday 23, 07:00 UTC - (90mins) - Chair Jack Armitage

If code can be speculative, what would it do?

Bring communities together?

Or reframe current thoughts?

 

Imagination isn’t just about what we see in our dreams

But the thought process of what we may want to see

See in our communities

See in ideologies

Or reframing the world around us

Play

Tuesday 23, 15:00-16:30 UTC - Chair Shelly Knotts

Playing isn’t just for kids

Do we even stop playing?

How does play look when we apply to code

How does one play, when the tools are mundane?

Or rather not meant for this usage?

 

In this session , play will not be in the background

But the force that pushes the intent of creation
