See a spectacle being created before your eyes at a live-coded electronic music event, with an interactive workshop by AlgoRhythms and music from MUSICxCODE. Writing code in real time to control the visuals and audio, responding to the room and creating with pure spontaneity, ‘algoravers’ are artists who make something spectacular on the spot. Drop in for an interactive afternoon to see how the code impacts the sound and visuals, speak to experienced algoravers and get a taster of how it all works and the platforms (Strudel and Hydra) you can use to try it for yourself! Rooted in dance music but expanding out into new technological terrain, ‘algoraves’ are a growing phenomenon of audiovisual artists experimenting and playing with algorithmic tools. Part of Peckham Digital’s Get Your Hands-Dirty with Creative Tech showcase, Algorave is hosted by UK-based AlgoRhythms, who specialise in making sound and art experiments using code, sound and visuals to create immersive and interactive experiences. Then, a line-up of creative technologists, live coders, designers and digital artists from Peckham Digital’s MUSICxCODE cohort turn it up a notch with a high-energy algorave. Come and hear a unique sonic moment never to be repeated and celebrate the collaborative, open-source culture of live coding. Creative Intelligence is commissioned and produced by the Southbank Centre. Curated with PACT – Planetary Art Culture Technology.
