Live Coding for Beginners with Strudel

Live coding is the creation of art and music by writing and changing computer programs while they run live, normally in view of the audience.  In the last few decades, this practice has emerged as a dynamic creative discipline, gaining attention across cultural and technical fields—from music and the visual arts to computer science. In live coding the composition happens in realtime, where performers can communicate via sound, visuals, robotic and human movements, or basically anything that can be controlled. In performance the code is often projected on a screen for the audience to follow.

In this introductory workshop participants will get hands-on experience working with the popular browser-based live coding platform Strudel.  The workshop will be led by Dagur Kristinn from post-dreifing. 

Participants ages 13–16 from all backgrounds are welcome, no coding experience is necessary. Please note the workshop will be held in Icelandic, and there are only 12 seats available.

Those who are able may bring their own laptop; additional computers will be provided.

Ages: 13–16 
Registration opens October 15th.
The workshop will be held in Icelandic.
