oF Syjunta is like a knitting circle, but instead of knitting we’re coding. We meet up, hack a bit on our stuff, chat, have a coffee, exchange ideas, tricks and code.
We want it to be an open place for anybody who use openFrameworks and wants to meet other people doing the same in Stockholm. You can come when you like and leave when you’re tired, there are no talks or lectures planned, but it’s totally ok to demo you latest work or hack.
We hope to have an OF Syjunta once or twice monthly starting on Thursday October 30th. We’ll be in Münchenbryggeriet, at Doberman (map) and we’ll be there from 18.00 to 22.00. It doesn’t matter if you’re up for some coding, or just have time to say hi, swing by!
The syjunta is arranged by Collective Experiments, more information will be posted at the oF Syjunta blog.
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 31st, from 13.00-20.00 Michelle Teran, will preview the Parasitic Video Network she has produced during her artist in residency at The Interactive Institutes Art and Technology program.
The Parasitic Network includes twenty surveillance cameras and a special instrument that visitors can use to capture and record live feeds from the cameras with. Besides from capturing and recording live feeds the instrument automatically mixes different sound sources as visitors move through the space, a functionality I’ve been working on together with Yoshi Akai and Michelle.
