Basel.Codes is a welcoming collective of coders, artists and designers. Unsorted.Love is a swiss-based collective exploring the intersection of technology and artistic expression. Together we are B.L.U.C! unsorting code, loving A/V performances.
In its first iteration of B.L.U.C, this group of algorithm casters will enchant the room with the most exquisite sounds and visuals. Expect the conjuring of arcane sonic engines, like Strudel, Sonic-Pi and Supercollider. While the visual sorceresses and sorcerers will summon intricate visions from Hydra, Screamer and P5LIVE. The MD5 sigil will be broken unleashing 128-bit spirit hashes to enchant patterns and compositions.
A/V_01
Ella Haechler: lives in Zurich and works in tech and media art. She writes live-coded music that blends algorithmic composition with improvisation. Using Sonic Pi, she likes to generate soundscapes that move between ambient atmospheres and electronic beats.
Siiri Tännler is a Swiss-Finnish graphic designer and art director with a decade of experience, currently based between New York City and Switzerland. Her practice focuses on concept-driven design systems that span print and digital environments, taking form as books, environmental graphics, exhibitions, visual identities, and websites.
A/V_02
Hanna Wirnsperger: Hannah Wirnsperger is a flutist, improviser and sound artist from Austria, currently based there, in Liechtenstein and Switzerland (Lucerne). Their favourite work is interactive and -disciplinary, multimedial and uncompromisingly exploratory. So far they have written and played music for opera, theatre, clubs, film and installations with their beloved tool improvisation always by their side.
Ted Davis is a media artist / designer / educator based in Basel. His open source projects (basil.js, XYscope[.js], P5LIVE, p5.glitch, HY5) enable designers to program within Adobe InDesign, render vector graphics on vector displays, collaboratively live code visuals with p5.js, glitch media in real-time within the web browser, and bridges the gap between visual frameworks Hydra and p5.js.
A/V_03
Yann Martins: I am a debugger && researcher && artist working within various media: sound, noise, algorithms, browsers, photography, micro controllers, 3D, game engines and story telling.
Alper Yagcioglu is a multidisciplinary media artist and designer based in Zurich. My work spans graphic design, digital media, art, and tattooing, focusing on abstract drawings and graphic compositions that explore new and unexpected imagery. My experiments with tools and forms are playful and engage with media across video, sound, performance, live coding, and installation.
A/V_04
Mark Lando is a musician, dj, and coder interested in the transcendental … of intentional repetition. For the performance at B.L.U.C, this interest in loops will be explored using the strudel live coding platform.
krata is a creative technologist and lecturer who hacks her way through design, machine learning, and GitHub repos. She’s good at failing, but still making things run, proving that chaos is a valid coding strategy. In her free time she abuses TouchDesigner.
