Early this spring I walked across the aisle at the Medical Faculty and spotted an unusual event announced on the University’s information screens, «Creative Computing Competition 2023…C2HO…open to everyone…audiovisual artwork…text-based programming…award…».
Facts and figures after one year of Creative Computing Hub Oslo.
One of the goals of the Creative Computing Hub Oslo is to map and bring together people at the University of Oslo who are involved in creative computing at some level, regardless of which department they belong to.
During April - May 2023, we ran a design competition with the goal to generate a 1 - 2 minutes audiovisual artwork by coding in text-based programming languages.
The first C2HO hackathon was held in the run-up to our opening event in August 2022. The task was to generate a visual or sonic artwork using code, with the idea being to create something that would represent the C2HO in some way.
Creative Computing refers to the use of computing technologies to create expressive artifacts rather than something functional.
