[Liverpool] Livecoding event on Friday

[Heather Corcoran]

Hi all, another small announcement for you -

We've got a really cool livecoding trio coming up to play outside of 
FACT on Friday night. They are:

http://slub.org/

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 :)

Official FACT copy about the event below.

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...

Cheers,
H



MEDIA FACADES FESTIVAL: Evening of Code - Livecoding with Slub and 
Julius Popp

Friday, September 3, 8.00pm - 10.30pm
Ropewalks Square, outside of FACT

Media Facades Festival is a brand new European-wide public realm 
festival connecting seven European cities: Berlin, Brussels, Helsinki, 
Budapest, Linz, Madrid and Liverpool. In Liverpool, the festival is 
hosted and programmed by FACT and we have commissioned a series of 
specially developed interactive screenings and art projects.

This evening's outdoor event is based around CODE - computer nerds and 
code geeks, come out! Featuring:


LIVECODING PERFORMANCE WITH SLUB

A chance to watch a band of computer programmers make electronic music 
from text-based code, live in front of audiences. Slub have performed 
widely including at Netaudio, Sonar, Sonic Acts, Ars Electronica, STRP, 
Club Transmediale, Ultrasound and the Secret Garden Party. The code will 
be projected onto the back off FACT's rear facade and played out of 
FACT's sound system.

JULIUS POPP - COMMISSION FOR A NEW OUTDOOR SCREEN AT FACT

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.

You can see a previous piece of work from Julius Popp's 'Bit' series below:
