darch is a visualist and live coder exploring the chaos emerging from simplicity, glitches and the happy mistakes by creating visuals generated by algorithms.
He will be making visuals using Punctual, a functunal approch to GLSL shaders running i a browser.
When performing live the code is written and edited on-the-fly, and projected alongside the visuals for the audience to also enjoy the art of coding and to demystify algorithms as something that is out of our control. He always strives to amplify the atmosphere of the music with his visuals, so it becomes a holistic synesthetic experience.
In 2019 he discovered live coding and co-funded Live Coders Collective Copenhagen. Ever since he have been teaching himself and others how to make visuals with code by hosting workshops and algoraves.
Hei, I’m Søren Peter (born 1986), a live coder and visualist/VJ based in Copenhagen. I’ve been doing live visuals for concerts and parties since 2011 and been into live coding visuals since 2019.
Artistically I’m driven by a question of what are ways to create interesting visuals using code. Exploring how complex patterns can emerge from simple algorithms. I want to understand the mechanics of digital tools, and explore how the accidents, glitches and bad code can be a source of new aesthetics. I don’t want to leave the human our of the equations, so I’m not interested in Artificial Intelligences or Machine Leaning assisted digital creations. I want to play with the mathematics and formulas that lay beneath the visuals.
