Please register at tickets@hebbel-am-ufer.de until 12.12.

  • Dialogue
  • Workshop
English /  3 hrs.

Live coding is performance, programming and improvisation all at once: music, images or movement are created in real time – controlled by code that is openly displayed during the performance. At the end of a workshop with creative coder Olivia Jack, participants present their experiments, supplemented by insights into Jack’s practice.

Artist and creative coder* Olivia Jack is working with a group of artists to explore how input devices such as MIDI controllers, webcams and microphones can be combined with programming to enable new forms of live experience. At the end of their two-day workshop, the participants will present their own artistic experiments. Everyone who already works with live coding is invited, as well as those who want to know what lies behind this practice. The presentation will be complemented by insights into Olivia Jack's artistic practice as a creative technologist. Afterwards, “Gefährliche Arbeit” – a FLINTA network at the intersection of art and technology – invites you to an open exchange with live coding and nerd drinks in a cosy atmosphere: What are the intersections between performance, technology and community?

* A creative coder is a person who uses programming as a tool for artistic and creative expression, for example to create digital artworks, interactive installations or live visuals.
