A series of weekly working groups and workshops at _____-micro_research [Berlin]; an independent research centre focusing on the expanded construction and experience of free software and open hardware. Calendar: July 4th 2PM: workshop: Fluxus - Scheme livecoding, animation, games and plants with Dave Griffiths [UK] at pickledfeet July 5th 8PM: performance: Fluxus live coding with Dave Griffiths and all participants at General Public Forthcoming matter: schmelzolan robots, software radio, hydrogen line, micro-cuisine, kitchen sink chemistry, Kicad, openEEG, fiction generation, thoughtography, org-mode ... contact if you're interested in leading [un]-related workshop. //<----------------------------------------------- July 4th 2PM: workshop: Fluxus - Scheme livecoding, animation, games and plants with Dave Griffiths [UK] at pickledfeet In this workshop you will find out about the emerging art form of livecoding and learn how to write simple scripts to create animations in 3D space. After an introduction to the scheme programming language and how to use it to build shapes and animate them, you will be let loose on prototype game code for groworld - a game still in production which takes elements from guerilla gardening, permaculture and plant growth. No previous programming experience required. Interest in games and plants a bonus :) Please install fluxus prior to the workshop, which you can find here: http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/packages/ Windows version not recommended at present due to instability, an alternative is to use a bootable CD linux distro such as this one which will be made available on the day: https://devel.goto10.org/puredyne Details: http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/ Cost: 10 euros (including food). Please email m...@1010.co.uk to reserve a place (strictly limited) ///// July 5th 8PM: performance: Fluxus live coding with Dave Griffiths and all participants at General Public Dave Griffiths is one part of Slub: Slub sound emerges from slub software; melodic and chordal studies, generative experiments and beat processes. Process-based sonic improvisations; live generative music using hand crafted and live coded apps, scripts and l-systems in networked synchrony. With roots in UK electronica and tech culture, slub build their own software environments for creating music in realtime. Only custom composition and DSP software is used. Everything you hear is formed by human minds. Slub project their screens so that the audience are able to appreciate their live software development process, which does not adhere to industry quality control standards. They communicate using OSC over UDP and eyebrow gestures. The output ranges from extra slow gabba, through intelligent ambient to acid blues glitch. http://www.slub.org Free entry at: General Public Schönhauser Allee 167c U2 > Senefelder Platz ---_______ Background: Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and reception, and electromysticism. Workshops solely utilise free software and GNU toolbase.
