Electronic Loom & Algorave

Step into an evening where code, sound, and machinery come alive. This special night of performances brings together four artists exploring the possibilities of live computation and digital craft.

The evening opens with a performance on an electronic loom, transforming weaving into a rhythmic, sonic act that blurs the line between fabric and soundscape. Following this, three artists take the stage with live-coded performances, where music and visuals are written, edited, and transformed in real time. Every keystroke becomes part of the performance — a raw, improvisational interplay between human and machine.

Line-up:

Lady Ludd

Sophie Huckfield is an artist and writer. They perform and DJ as Lady Ludd. Their practice is collaborative, political and site-specific, they draw on archival and research materials to co-produce multidisciplinary artworks which move between sound, video, repurposed tools and sculpture, installations and writings. Lady Ludd re-situates the 19th Century Luddite movement within a contemporary intersectional feminist lens, through the repurposing of an historic loom into an electronic musical instrument. Working with sonics, craft and performance, Lady Ludd seeks to question, subvert, and repurpose our tools and histories as a means to challenge current narratives around technology and progress.

Zhanlan

Zhanlan (@orangespy) is a multimedia artist, focused on participatory art and audience engagement through digital practice, such as live coding audio-visual performance, and interactive installation through AI and algorithmic technology. Committed to crafting immersive experiences that encourage co-creation and introspection while examining the complexities of subjectivity, objecthood, and the intricate relationships between individuals, objects, and the dynamics of power. Her work in conceptual art seeks to foster dialogue that transcends conventional artistic boundaries.

bundy

‘Bundy’ is Brandon Hinds personal music project. He started out as a guitarist three years ago and discovered strudel by chance while creating a game for a coding bootcamp. Many of his demos are characterised by an indie, grungy sound but he has recently been incorporating more electronic and dance elements into his music, perfect for live-coding.

Eye Measure

Eye Measure is a UK-based experimental artist and creative producer. Using the live coding language TidalCycles they construct cavernous industrial rhythms and noise to make weird and dark soundscapes. They are primarily interested in live performance and have performed across the UK and internationally in places such as Cafe OTO, Norbergfestival and Supernormal festival. Living in Sheffield, they are a resident of No Bounds and help to run Pattern Club.
