FIBER presents
Coded Matter(s) #1:
Unfolding Space

On Tuesday September 10, FIBER presents the first edition of “Coded
Matter(s)”, together with Flemish Art Centre De Brakke Grond (Amsterdam).
Coded Matter(s) is a new series of events exploring the explosion of
digital processes taking place in hybrid art, design and music and the
ripples this causes. During these events artists, designers, musicians and
other creatives will demonstrate the limitless possibilities offered by
digital systems and creative coding platforms for the creation of visual
art, generative design, interactive installations, multi-sensory
performances and enchanting scenography.

The first edition of Coded Matter(s), called “Unfolding Space”, will focus
on the development of interactive and sensory spaces. Software is now
managing parts of our city and even influencing the way we interact
socially. New ways of experiencing space are arising with the use of
sensors, projections and mobile technology. Artists and designers are
responding to this with room-sized installations, interactive dance
performances and ‘augmented’ environments. These developments are
completely transforming our perceptions of space and media.

The evening will be filled with talks by interactive artist group LAb[au]
(Laboratory for Architecture and Urbanism, founded in Brussels), German
digital arts collective Elektropastete and Dutch researcher of media and
urban culture Michiel de Lange, the dance performance “Trinity” by
Barcelona-based Electronic Performers and a showcase and the installation
'Graffitizer' by Daniel Berio.

On the day of the event, Elektropastete (and Raphaël de Courville) will
also give their workshop 'Fifty Shades of Shaders', on the use of shaders
for creative coders. This workshop is aimed at creative coders with little
to no experience with shaders who want to learn all about them. It is a
perfect starting point for both VJ's and performers, or art students who
use coding and want to open up new possibilities in their work. Shaders are
a powerful instrument in the toolbox of a creative coder. By unleashing the
full potential of the GPU, they enable the use of effects which would
otherwise be impossible in real-time. For more information, have a look at
the Workshop page on our website.
