Learn how to make live visuals using coding. This workshop will be an introduction to Punctual, a functional language based on GLSL shaders. It is more compact that GLSL making it faster to type during a live performance. Punctual runs in the browser, so there is no need for installing anything. Punctual is also part of Estuary so it can be used alongside other live coding languages for collaborative and networked performances.
The workshop will be hosted by Søren Peter Mørch aka darch, a visualist and live coder from Copenhagen. 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.
