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://www.meetup.com/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.

Liberate The Machines, Booklaunch by Joost Rekveld
Creative Coding Utrecht, Vlampijpstraat 84, Utrecht, UT, NLWhat happens when we begin to see machines not as passive tools, but as active collaborators in shaping our world? On 14 November, CCU hosts the launch of Joost Rekveld’s new book Liberate the Machines!, an evening that combines a booklaunch and film screening with a conversation between Joost Rekveld and artist/writer Marloes de Valk.
Joost Rekveld has long been exploring the hidden lives of technology, asking how machines can be liberated from purely functional purposes and instead become partners in artistic and ecological research. His work invites us to consider the agency of technological bodies, and how they might participate in a wider web of more-than-human relations.
This event is both a celebration and a conversation: a chance to engage with Joost Rekveld’s practice, to reflect on the role of machines in our shared futures, and to connect with the CCU community and fellow enthusiasts of new media art. It is part of the larger story CCU tells as a Zoöp: a cooperative where more-than-human voices are given space, and where technology itself is recognized as a vital participant.
