Elektropastete talk and workshop added to Coded Matter(s) #1

Adding to the line-up of Coded Matter(s) #1: Unfolding Space, we are pleased to announce: Elektropastete. This German digital arts collective (self-described as ‘6 anillustratophotocoders and 1 typographiconoclast’) has gained renown with their diverse works, ranging from interactive light installations in museums to performances supporting the likes of DJ Koze and Lenny Kravitz. Recently they were even featured in Hugo Boss’ 20th anniversary celebration ‘Red Never Follows‘ at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

Born out of their discontent with the Nuernberg nightlife, a group of Media Design students at Nuernberg’s University for Applied Sciences started organising their own parties, focusing on an inspiring visual atmosphere. After the success of their parties, the collective grew into what it is today. Working both for commercial clients as well as on autonomous and experimental projects, Elektropastete has developed a wide oeuvre of installations, light-based performances and other works that bridge the gap between virtual and physical.

Besides a talk, Elektropastete will also provide our programme with their workshop ‘Fifty Shades of Shaders’ in cooperation with Raphael de Courville, an introduction to using shaders for creative coders and enthusiasts. The workshop will be open to all coders with little or no previous knowledge of shaders. Elektropastete will guide you through the basics of working with GLSL shaders to generate 2D and 3D visuals in real time. It will feature an introduction to the theory behind shaders and then focus on hands-on tinkering and experiments in code.

Please note there are only 15 places available, so act quick: buy your workshop ticket and sign up here if you want to participate!
