About

Creative Coding Utrecht (CCU) is a platform for digital creativity. CCU supports creators, connects organizations and transcends sectors, inspires audiences and shares knowledge with hobbyists and ICT professionals. At CCU you can undertake your first ever exploration of creative coding, or develop your artistic practice as an established professional.

CCU stems from an international movement of makers, who strive to make technology accessible for creative expression with an emphasis on alternative approaches. This attitude is investigative, critical, collaborative, open, hands-on, and inclusive. The international community of creative coders has developed a unique and innovative maker culture, whose principles we want to share with the wider population and apply to a variety of fields.

In 2024 CCU has become a Zöop, a cooperative where all forms of life (zöe) work together. A Zoöp ensures that non-human voices and interests are heard and considered in the decision-making and working practices. Being a Zöop means that CCU has committed to building regenerative and fair relations with the human, animal, plant, and inorganic bodies that inhabit its ecosystem. This commitment is carried out through concrete interventions that are reviewed each year.
