CLiC – Colectivo de Live Coders, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Somos un espacio de intercambio y producción colectiva (consideramos que el saber es una construcción social comunitaria, y pertenece a la comunidad, no al individuo; cualquier persona puede formar parte del colectivo en tanto tenga ganas y pueda llevar adelante las ideas presentadas en el presente), abierto (toda participación, propuesta, idea, herramienta es bienvenida), cuidado (porque no permitimos comentarios ofensivos o desvalorizantes de ninguna índole; relacionados con el/los géneros, la identidad, la orientación sexual, las capacidades diferentes, apariencia física, tamaño corporal, ni gustos musicales o usos de herramientas de software), horizontal y adhocrático (porque no hay jerarquía, no hay ni habrá dueñxs, ni directorxs, ni maestrxs. Rechazamos los yo-ismos, el egocentrismo y la pedagogía pedante) para abordar, investigar y performar utilizando técnicas y herramientas de livecoding (el objetivo final es poder investigar, aprender, llevar adelante propuestas artísiticas, performáticas, fechas, tocar y disfrutarnos).

Algorave.dk // LiveCoders Collective Copenhagen (LCCC)

Algorave.dk is for all things related to Live Coding and algoraving in Denmark!

In these sessions, we discuss creative coding cultures and practices, and try out beginner friendly programming languages for making music and video, and share what we’ve made. Free and open to all! – just drop in. You don’t need to attend each session like a course. All levels of experience welcome!
