NODE+CODE #11 with Roosje Klap (ARK)

NODE+CODE #11 with Roosje Klap (ARK)
Meetup and Workshop with Roosje Klap & Arran Lyon (ARK)

In November 2023, our team will re-establish the NODE+CODE meetup series traveling through Frankfurt. Since 2014, the meetup invites creatives, designers, artists, coders and anyone else interested to a series of events with changing locations and thematic focuses – all related to working with code in design and the arts. We want to build a community of people interested in the creative and critical application of technology in Frankfurt and Rhein-Main.

Each meetup will feature an expert and impulse speaker who will provide an insight “behind the front end” of their projects – in the evening with an intensive talk, drinks, soup and plenty of space for networking, and the next morning with a practical workshop.

This new season will be dedicated to getting to know each other and rebuilding the community around the creative application of technology in Frankfurt an the region.

As an inspirational speaker for the first meetup we invited designer, artist and educator Roosje Klap (ARK). The following day, Roosje Klap and Arran Lyon (ARK) will run a workshop where you explore the methods used the their projects in-depth yourself. The meetup is free and you can drop by spontaneously. Registration for the workshop will open soon.

ROOSJE KLAP is the founder of ARK. Klap studied Graphic Design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, and fresh out of school began her own studio, quickly developing an international network. Her interests lie in unconventional, artistic research and playful collaborations with artists, curators, architects, (type) designers, and writers. The research-based interdisciplinary approach is reflective of a generation of designers that define their assignments alongside commissions.

In 2014, Klap initiated the collective 'Design Displacement Group' (DDG), which focuses on the discourse of graphic design in the rapidly changing media landscape and its trans-disciplinary development towards other disciplines. DDG formed the blueprint of her current collective ARK (Atelier Roosje Klap) that collaborates on self-initiated projects and commissions in varying compositions — a methodology that she coined as ‘post-signature.’

ARRAN LYON is a multi-disciplinary coder who explores the storytelling potential of technology and asks what artificial intelligence can do rather than what it cannot. As a proponent of open-source software, he develops custom solutions for artistic practices and helps bring technology's forefront into new domains.
