Algomech <https://algomech.com/> is a festival of algorithmic and
mechanical arts. Taking place over one weekend in May, the packed programme
explores the creative potential of both code and machines.

The theme for the festival's third edition is *interlace* – taking a look
at unlikely and unusual inter-weavings of different art practices. As well
as the usual algorithmic rave, there'll be handmade dancing robots making
braids on a maypole, make-your-own-mechanical-techno, algorithmic Siberian
trance, interactive textiles, invented mystical instruments, live pop music
made from code, and much more.
Events include:
