Animation and Livecoding through Fluxus with Dave Griffiths and Evan Raskob

http://openlabworkshops.org/workshop-puredyne-and-fluxus-22-sept-2009/

A talk on groWorld and a demonstration of the current incarnation of the game.

http://internetpro.meetup.com/56/calendar/11215003/

The simulation-led workshop cluster presents constructive approaches to measurement, description and modelling of real world systems ranging across urban and ecological interventions. The world can be described by way of maps, diagrams, fiction, circuits and software. Desciptions, or representations, take on their own life as autopoetic systems, creating complex ecologies; describing becomes constructing (growing your own world).

Fluxus - Scheme livecoding, animation, games and plants

In this workshop you will find out about the emerging art form of livecoding and learn how to write simple scripts to create animations in 3D space. After an introduction to the scheme programming language and how to use it to build shapes and animate them, you will be let loose on prototype game code for groworld - a game still in production which takes elements from guerilla gardening, permaculture and plant growth.
