TOPLAP Barcelona
ICLC.CAT 2025 - Barcelona
La Conferència Internacional de Live Coding (ICLC) està dedicada a pràctiques i investigacions centrades en tecnologies i filosofies que interpreten l’ús del codi informàtic i l’escriptura pública d’algorismes com a gests performatius. A cada edició la comunitat aporta valuoses percepcions sobre aquesta pràctica des de diverses perspectives, incloent-hi les artístiques, tècniques, artístiques, filosòfiques, educatives, socials i polítiques.
…From Scratch
When we started FromScratch sessions, as mentioned in a paper by Villasenor and Paz, “the idea was to start the TOPLAP node with a live coding session using the same rules of the Mexico City sessions, to emphasize the writing of the code in real-time.” We knew that the nine-minute FromScratch format would be welcoming for newcomers; it is short, so there is no need to prepare a long set, and it provokes everyone, whether beginner or seasoned live coder, to make mistakes, so it serves to level the playing field. Most importantly, though, in that first session we invented the cardinal rule for our audience: All attendees must applaud at the end of nine minutes (remember that this is for fun). With applause guaranteed and errors not only accepted but appreciated, the FromScratch format lends itself as an ideal meetup activity for people with any level of live coding experience
…Upcoming Events
Upcoming Events that involve live coding in Barcelona, organized by TOPLAP_BCN or very close friends:
…Algobiente VI
On the 26th of October, the sixth edition of Algobiente will take place, as usual, in Antic Forn de Vallcarca (Carrer de Cambrils 10, 08023 Barcelona).
…ICLC 2025 - Barcelona
We’re very happy to announce that 9th edition of International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC) will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from May 28 to May 31, 2025.
…hydra FCS workshop
Hydra FCS is an extension to the Hydra video synthesizer for creating visual effects with algebraic geometry, the mathematical study of curves and surfaces. Participants will learn about different mathematical representations of curves and surfaces in two, three, and even four dimensions, and how to combine them to create rich, complex visuals effects. This workshop will also urge participants to think critically about the roles of maps, modularity, and representation in maths, programming, and art. Although FCS features some potentially intimidating maths, no mathematical or programming experience is required. Conceptual intuition is stressed over understanding the equations.
