Algorithmic patterns is an emerging field of study, research, practice and community. APs are everywhere: they are profoundly entrenched in culture, and manifest something deep about our souls. We don't know exactly what they are, but if you want to help find out, or are just curious, check this out: Alpaca (Algorithmic Patterns in the Creative Arts) festival is happening in Sheffield 6-9th May 2027, with conference talks, hands-on workshops, gigs and club night, all exploring algorithmic patterns in the creative arts. This time I won't be able to attend, but will keep a close eye for online activities: https://alpaca.cc/ @alpaca@thentrythis.org @alpaca@alpaca.cc #algorithmicpattern #alpaca
