MAKERS MEET & EAT 2021 [EN]
10 tables, 4 rounds, 40 short talks by 20 makers, 1 inspiring keynote, 1 XXL vega BBQ, 100+ makers and like-minded people. These are the ingredients of the second Makers Meet & Eat organised by Creative Coding Utrecht, IMPAKT, RAUM, and SETUP on Sunday 11th of July from 12:00 - 20:00 at RAUM on Berlijnplein. During the Meet & Eat you will get around the table with various makers to get to know their ways-of-working and research in the field of digital art, culture and design. An afternoon for meeting, sharing knowledge, tricks of the trade and a look behind the scenes. The day will end with a BBQ hosted by Venster, at which we will chat whilst enjoying a good bite, drink and (hopefully) the sun.
Project: Utrechtse gevangenisregisters
Help jij mee met het invoeren van gegevens van mensen die in de Utrechtse strafgevangenis Wolvenplein of het huis van bewaring aan de Gansstraat hebben vastgezeten? Via het online crowdsourcingsplatform hetvolk.org is het mogelijk ons en Het Utrechts Archief te helpen met het ontsluiten van een belangrijke bron: Utrechtse gevangenisregisters uit de jaren 1900-1920.

Rainbows End
We’re very excited to introduce you to our exhibition Rainbows End 🌈🌈🌈, where we strive to give a platform to underrepresented makers (femme, poc & queer) who use art and virtual worlds as an artistic medium. The exhibition takes place from April 22 until May 2 at De Havenloods and De Nijverheid and is curated by HERVISIONS. The next few months, we’ll be announcing many great events like workshops, hackathons, tours, all leading up to this exhibition. Stay tuned for updates!
Rainbows End: Sex Tech Hackathon
We’re starting off the RAINBOWS END 🌈🌈🌈 era with an interactive pre-event, a hackathon about sex tech, together with artists, academics, technologists, thinkers and tinkerers from all backgrounds and perspectives… We'll learn about the diverse and evolving field of Sex Tech, and the implications it has on the past, present, and future of intimacy, companionship, and human behaviour. Let's get hands-on and physical with intimate technologies from a maker perspective through live demonstrations and tutorials!

ABOUT
CCU is a community founded in 2017 by Carolien Teunisse and Fabian van Sluijs with the goal to stimulate digital creativity and creative coding in Utrecht and beyond.
Through a variety of activities such as workshops, meetups, performances and exhibitions we bring together the community of makers (artists, designers, researchers, developers, performers, musicians) to share knowledge and collaboratively explore the artistic potential of self-made soft- and hardware for creating expressions.
In framing our activities we employ a postdigital perspective in which we make no distinction between 'old' and 'new' media and reflect on 'digital' creativity as part of a long tradition around arts and crafts. In this context Creative Coding Culture is interesting as it's thoroughly hybrid and composed of practices so diverse that its meaning is in flux. As such we research and reflect on what creative coding is and can be, in order to look for new and anti-disciplinary methodologies that can help shape our contemporary society in a fair and positive way.
