What we’re about
Creative Coding Utrecht (CCU) is a recurring meetup and growing community of coders, developers and people generally interested in the creative possbilities of code & technologies. Please join us in exploring how 21st century skills create new expressions that shape our world. CCU is made possible with the kind support of our sponsors: https://4142298.xyz/Creative-Coding-Utre...
CCU is a meetup that aims to open up the field of creative code, digital design, and artistic technologies. We invite artists, makers, coders, designers, thinkers and anyone interested to join us and present their work. By offering an informal meeting place for people we aim to connect the local communities and present their practices to a larger audience. We believe that sharing projects, work-in-progress, challenges, failures and successes, helps to get a grip on the multiplicity of technologies and networks that are embedded in our lives. Creative Coding Utrecht is meant as a place where work and inspiration is shared by the local community and people feel empowered to give these emerging technologies a try. By exploring the possibilities of algorithms to create expressions we aim to make these technologies accessible and develop a vibrant community that fosters conversations about how art and technology can have a positive social impact on all layers of society.

(RSVPing on meetup does not guarantee a spot - make sure you buy a ticket via the link above to avoid disappointment!)Dive into the intersection of programming and artistic expression with digital craft artist Flor de Fuego! In this engaging workshop, we will explore the use of A-Frame to create virtual spaces for expanded (live) performances.
A-Frame is a web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences based on HTML, making it accessible to get started with. However, A-Frame is not just a 3D scene graph or a markup language; its core is a powerful entity-component framework that provides a declarative, extensible, and composable structure to three.js.
The goal of this workshop is to create virtual environments that can be pre-programmed and to be controlled through MIDI interfaces or live coding programs such as ORCA, Mercury, Strudel or Supercollider, etc.
Workshop Content
- Building 3D web pages with A-frame
- Learning the A-frame basics: basic geometry, lights, animations, load videos/images as texture, load models, environments
- Working with MIDI controller - mouse click events
- Using Hydra inside of A-frame as a texture
Workshop Requirements
No prior coding experience is required—Javascript and basic knowledge in HTML are helpful.
Laptop with GPU and a mouse recommended, plus MIDI controllers if you have any!
