Die besten Basler Livecoder:innen bieten eine einmalige Performance in der Live Visuals mit generierten Sounds kombiniert werden.


Live coding meets Lo-fi beats, as Ted Davis + Mark Lando join forces for an improvised set of visuals and audio. Performing from the web-browser, HY5 is an open source tool that bridges the gap between hydra-synth and p5.js, two creative coding frameworks for composing and warping visuals on the fly. These will interact with experimental beats produced from a range of analog and digital gear.

Ted Davis is a media artist / designer / educator originally from the United States and based in Basel, Switzerland. Since 2010 he teaches interaction design and coordinates the UIC/HGK International Master of Design program within the Institute Digital Communication Environments IDCE, Basel Academy of Art and Design HGK FHNW. His work and teachings explore the volatility of digital media through glitch and reactivating older ‘new media’ through newer programming means. His open source projects (basil.js, XYscope, P5LIVE, HY5, p5.glitch) enable designers to program within Adobe InDesign, render vector graphics on vector displays, collaboratively live code visuals with p5.js, and glitch any media in real-time within the web browser. In 2019, he was a p5.js Contributing Conference participant, joining a working group focused on Music and Code in Performance. In 2021 he received the Basel Media Art Prize (Basler Medienkunstpreis) for p5.glitch and was a Processing Foundation Teaching Fellow. In 2024 he was awarded a Swiss Design Award in Media & Interaction Design for P5LIVE.
