ITERATIONS 2023 - Conference Saturday

● How do recent technological developments empower makers to generate new creative avenues? How is the creative coding landscape going to evolve in the coming few years? These questions will be explored during the ITERATIONS creative coding symposium conference programme spanning Friday 15 December and Saturday 16 December.

● With a focus on inclusivity, we invited an international group of makers from different disciplines to talk about how they use code as a creative medium.

"As artists and designers we have the unique opportunity of dreaming up new forms of coexistence between society and technology."; meet Nahuel Gerth (on-site), a creative technologist who delves into the science-art-tech intersection, crafting visual narratives through code. Join his journey at ITERATIONS for insights into embodied interaction, playful sound devices, and speculative design. From web design to Creative Coding, Nahuel shares experiments, mediapipe insights, and transformative ideas.

Second speaker of our ITERATIONS Saturday will be Kelli Anderson (online) featuring "The Flip-Flop: Jumping back and forth from Analog <--> Digital". Working in between code, publishing, and animation, author, designer and creative coder Kelli Anderson uses design magic to connect people with the depth and possibility of their world. The fastest way to uncover possibilities hiding in plain view is to "misuse" tools and combine digital and analog ways of working. Even the most ubiquitous, low-tech materials are capable of revealing new, amazing facets of our reality. In her presentation Kelli will show several analogue & digital projects, and also present their essay from their forthcoming book on typography. This sample essay asks “Is a Letter a Structure?”, dives into how type has been represented through code on computers and ends up in questions of artificial versus. human intelligence.

"There is sentient code all around us, at all times."; final speaker of the day is Ari Melenciano (online), an artist, technologist, researcher, and theorist whose work reveals the synergy between computation, cultural metacognition, and transcendental expression. In her talk at ITERATIONS, Ari will share how she engages with the sentient code of plants, also considered botanical quantum computing, as a central source in creating biosonifications. She will root these explorations in a collection of research on the historical relationships between plants, sound, spirituality, and consciousness.
