Wie klingt eigentlich dein Name, das Wetter oder ein Gemälde? Gemeinsam finden wir heraus, was passiert, wenn man Daten in Töne übersetzt.
 
In diesem Workshop tauchen wir in die Welt des Creative Coding ein. Wir nutzen Code nicht für Matheaufgaben, sondern als Instrument für Kreativität und Spaß. Du wirst überrascht sein, wie schnell du mit Sonic Pi deine eigenen Klangwelten erschaffst und Daten plötzlich hören kannst.
Richtig oder falsch gibt es hier nicht – nur deinen eigenen Mix.

Freue dich auf unser gemeinsames Erkunden, wie aus Zahlen Töne werden, auf unser direktes Experimentieren mit Code und Sound-Samples. Tausche dich im Team aus und gestalte gemeinsam mit den anderen. Am letzten Tag ist Stage Time: wenn du möchtest, kannst du deine Werke Friends & Family präsentieren.
Alles was du brauchst, ist Spaß am Entdecken. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht nötig. Laptop und Technik stellen wir.

The fountain sparkles in the sun, the boats sail around in the water, and the flowers bloom. This workshop will take place outside. We will practice observing our surroundings: How do the colours look in the sunlight and which shapes surround us? Outdoor painting demands fast decisions but also offers a broad variety of details and motives. You will learn methods and techniques to capture the scene on paper. Join us and let your creativity flow freely.
