    This lecture covers scientific and computational details of the implementations of quantum computing algorithms for music and art.

  • Me, Myself, and AI

    David Szauder (HU)

    Creative partner or tool? Opportunity or panic? And I could go on asking many more questions. I don’t have the answers—but I’m happy to show how I personally arrived at using Artificial Intelligence as a tool, and why I believe it’s important to integrate it into my creative practice.

  • VVVV Worldwide Meetup

    VVVV Community

    vvvv: a visual live-programming environment that takes you from rapid prototyping to final production.

  • Creative Coding

    Verena Langthaler (AT)

    How can you create art with code? In the Creative Coding Mini Lab, programming becomes a creative tool.
