Glitch Art Workshops

Glitch art is a form of art that is created by introducing digital or analog errors to media.

Join MakoEducation and Near Now Fellow Antonio Roberts in this glitch art workshop which teaches participants what glitch art is and how to create their own artwork.

Attendees will learn how to create glitch art images, videos and GIFs. We’ll be encouraging artists of the future to experiment with new tools and techniques.

Attendees learn a range of digital skills in the areas of photography, image editing and video production.

No previous experience is necessary to take part in this workshop.

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS AIMED AT CHILDREN AGED 8-13. ADULTS PERMITTED ONLY TO ACCOMPANY CHILDREN. ALL CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.

Near Now Fellowship: Meet the Fellows

Between May 2017 and March 2018, our third Fellowship cohort will work as part of the Near Now Studio, undertaking a tailored programme that will support them to research and create ambitious new work, reach new audiences and progress their careers.

Join us for pizza and drinks (on us!) and help celebrate the start of a successful Fellowship.

Each Fellow will give a brief introduction to their work and share some early insights into their inspirations and ambitions for their Fellowship. Followed by a chance to ask questions about their practices, hang out, chat, and hopefully make some new friends.

Nottingham Algorave

SUNDAY 12TH FEBRUARY, FROM 3PM-9PM.

“The scene at an algorave is often what you’d expect from any good techno night – a dark room, engaging visuals, a decent, bass-heavy speaker set-up, and lots of people ready to dance… performers at algoraves respond to each other and the audience in real time, often projecting the lines of code onto the walls as they type. It’s coding as improvisation and experiment…” – The Wire magazine

Reaching over 40 cities over the past couple of years, Algorave is an “algorithmic rave”, where music and visuals come from code, constructed before your eyes. Originally coined in Nottingham, Algorave returns after 6 years, replenished and resplendent with a roster of exciting new algorithmic performances.

£5 on the door, for press/guestlist contact anny@algorave.com
