In this talk, Jesse Freeman, will walk you through how he created his open source Fantasy Game Console, Pixel Vision 8.
He'll also cover the general architecture of Pixel Vision 8, how #Lua
is used on top of C# for scripting, and finally how to build the engine
from the GitHub source code. At the end of the talk, you'll know everything you need to start making PV8 games in C# or Lua.

Coding Augmented Reality Live (CARL) is an open-source livecoding
environment created by Chirag Davé and Char Stiles. In this session,
Char will use CARL to code a 3D shader from scratch, which you can use
your phone to see in augmented reality. Char will comment her code and
use descriptive variable names so you can get a sense of what each line
is doing. This performance is set to a soundtrack by Dan Gorelick. You
can read more about CARL (and see a video which explains it better)
here: Charstiles.com/carl
Char Stiles is a multidisciplinary digital artist. She works using emerging technologies as tools for expression. Using computational systems and algorithms she is producing pieces that spans disciplines such as video, dance, interactive installation, performance and online works.

Presented by Cassie Tarakajian
Have you written code before, but never thought about how it could be used for art? What are the artistic possibilities for software? This session will introduce the foundational concepts of creative coding through p5.js, a JavaScript library with a focus on making coding accessible and inclusive for artists, designers, educators, beginners, and anyone else. This session will explore how software techniques, such as algorithms, randomness, data, and interactivity can be applied to creative work. Familiarity with JavaScript or code syntax is recommended.
Cassie Tarakajian (they/them) is a technologist and artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Their work focuses on creative tools, working as an engineer at Cycling ’74 and as the lead developer and maintainer on the open source p5.js Web Editor. They also teach creative coding workshops and classes, and serve as an adjunct professor at NYU ITP. Past artistic projects range from generating sonnets from Wikipedia contributions to teaching computers how to love as a member of the band Lullabies for AI.

Presented by Gene Kogan
Over the past several years, two trends in machine learning have
converged to pique the curiosity of artists working with code: the
growing popularity of powerful open source deep learning frameworks like
Torch and TensorFlow, and the emergence of data-intensive generative
models for hallucinating images, sounds, and text as though they came
from the oeuvre of Shakespeare, Picasso, or just a gigantic database of
digitized cats. This talk will review these developments, present
various artworks, and offer a set of interdisciplinary tools and
learning resources for artists and data scientists alike, if ever there
was a difference to begin with.
Gene Kogan is an artist and a programmer who is interested in autonomous systems, collective intelligence, generative art, and computer science. He is a collaborator within numerous open-source software projects, and gives workshops and lectures on topics at the intersection of code and art. Gene initiated ml4a, a free book about machine learning for creative practice, and regularly publishes video lectures, writings, and tutorials to facilitate a greater public understanding of the subject.

An Algorave performance lockdown style, transmitted live from the UK,
with visuals from Antonio Roberts (aka hellocatfood) and music from Alex
McLean (aka yaxu), all live coded. All code will be shared live, as
it's created and manipulated, for your pleasure!
Alex (@yaxu) explores algorithmic pattern, both in music as co-founder of
Algorave and the TOPLAP live coding movement, and in textiles as
researcher of ancient Greek weave structures. He has performed widely
with his handmade livecoding systems since the year 2000, including at
Sonar, Bluedot, Shambala, Transmediale and Glastonbury festivals. He is
active across the digital arts as researcher and practitioner,
organising hundreds of events including Sheffield's ""AlgoMech"" festival
of algorithmic and mechanical movement. He created the popular free/open
source TidalCycles environment for algorithmic pattern, now adopted by a
worldwide community. He is also an active researcher, holding a PhD in
Arts and Computational Technology with Goldsmiths, and currently working
as part of the Research Institute of the History of Science and
Technology, Deutsches Museum Munich.
hellocatfood is the alias of Antonio Roberts, an artist and curator
based in Birmingham, UK. For his live performances he uses software
including Pure Data to explore the creative potential of algorithms,
glitches, and feedback loops. He has provided visuals for the likes of
MTV, Com Truise, Blood Sport, Steve Davis, Renick Bell and My Panda
Shall Fly and at events including SXSW, Supersonic Festival, Barbican,
Green Man festival and more.

The Weird Algorithm is a program that creates KARAOKE MASHUPS by
replacing the lyrics to a SONG with matching lines from a specific
SOURCE TEXT. For example: 'I Want It That Way' with replacement lines
from Mean Girls, or 'Mr. Brightside' with lines from Craigslist ads. In
this session, we will combine songs and texts based on audience requests
and then sing the generated results live.
Jamie Brew is a writer and software engineer living in Seattle. He runs
the creative technology group Botnik and was previously a writer and
editor at The Onion and Clickhole.
