Hi all, another small announcement for you - <br>
<br>
We've got a really cool livecoding trio coming up to play outside of
FACT on Friday night. They are: <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://slub.org/">http://slub.org/</a><br>
<br>
They project their terminals while they play and you can see them
building the songs up, live (they programme in Haskell, I believe). The
music is pretty good! And its an interesting thing to see, kind of
different from your average Ableton laptop set :) <br>
<br>
Official FACT copy about the event below. <br>
<br>
Come by if you can! I was going to promote this at the DIY How Why
event the other weekend (as well as just come by to participate!) but I
was ill so couldn't make it :( Spread the word... <br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>
H <br>

JULIUS POPP - COMMISSION FOR A NEW OUTDOOR SCREEN AT FACT<br>
<br>
Launching
a brand new permanent screen on the front of the FACT building,
artist/technologist Julius Popp has been commissioned to create a new
piece that uses‘falling’ text. Bit.Code (screen version) is a project
made for low-resolution screens, where scrolling black and white pixels
pause at regular intervals to display frequently used key words taken
from recent web feeds of current news sites. The work forms a part of
the artist's 'Bit' series, creating visuals metaphors for how
information online is presented or created.<br>
