Weekly Creative Programming Meeting @ XinCheJian – 8pm – 08/04/2013

The creative programming meeting aims to bring together everybody who is interested in programming.

In the “First Creative Programming Meeting” we discussed the meaning of creativity in relation to programming. Two ideas appeared, on the one hand creativity in the finding of solutions for problems and on the other hand using programming for creative “aesthetic products” (art, music, design). Easer of this ideas appeals to you, you might find somebody in the group.

Format for the now starting “Weekly Creative Programming Meeting” on Monday evenings, is ‘present a problem’ and ‘retrieve different solutions’. Each week a few people can bring their current projects and explain their problems, when the problem “activates” some creativity of the participants it might develop into a “creative” solution finding group.

Feel free to invent a problem and bring it to xinchejian on monday evenings!

Summary for Wednesday/本周三开放日综述

3. ..You..

Wednesday Presenters/本周演讲者介绍

诸 晓鸣 is Visually impaired, self taught to program in C++ and PHP and works to improve accessibility across computers for others in the same situation, from text to speech and information accessibility development and builds games!

Matthew DeBlock has invented his own writing style that looks like a script language however it encodes roman alphabet, if anyone has designed a font before, now imagine how hard it is to design an entire writing style!

The creative programming meeting aims to bring together everybody who is interested in programming. 

In the first meeting we hope to find the tools to use to gather our knowledge to be able to realize together a project. All participants will have an opportunity to give a brief description of their idea (and occasionally we will breakout into smaller groups based on shared interests)

In previews discussions people expressed their interest in Visualising data with D3.js:

Or highlighted the simplisity of paper.js:

It seems to be easy to connect javascript to everything which understands OSC in one or another way:

or we do something totally different:

MengQi was down this weekend giving some amazing workshops, everything from a theremin to cracklebox and his famous osc6 kit, congratulations to everyone who came, built and played their new musical instruments into the late evening and thanks to MengQi from coming from Beijing to XinCheJian.

图形化的Arduino编程工具Mind+来了！

Mind+首次现场演示 @Rex陈正翔 将带来大量范例演示, 现场更有各种传感器 可以让你亲自尝试体验 制作自己的互动项目

就在本周三（2月27日）晚7点半 新车间见，免费入场！

日期：2013年3月9日（周六）

时间：下午2点－5点

工作坊内容：

在这次的工作坊中，大家将制作一个简单有趣的设计：摸摸摸 － 超绚的银色触摸界面，经典的六触摸点噪音电路，由Michel Waisvisz在七十年代设计。在轻触间把各种奇妙声音展现。无需繁杂的操作，快来感受指尖的曼妙的歌声。

制作简单方便，自带喇叭，随时随地，你都可以随身携带把玩。听，你的手指在唱歌！对于身体的变化非常敏感，甚至以几个人连起来进行演奏。

首先你们将会了解摸摸摸的电路基本原理，以及它声音变化的原因，随后大家动手焊接组装，组装完成后就可以尽情享受探索声音的乐趣了！
