Livecode @ dadaLab 2025

Sunday, March 9, 2025

Doors @ 7:30 | Performances @ 8:00

Discounted online presale and student tickets available | All ages

A night of audiovisual performances with live-coding, realtime visuals, and algorithmic art.

We'll start with a writing prompt and a journey through creative coding IDE history. Then we'll get our hands dirty by building off a basic web-based code editor for p5.js using JavaScript. Once we've got the foundations (syntax highlighting, basic editing features), things get interesting…
