Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modeling and Design (FARM)

9th September, 2017, co-located with ICFP 2017 in Oxford, United Kingdom

About

The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design (FARM) gathers together people who are harnessing functional techniques in the pursuit of creativity and expression.

Functional Programming has emerged as a mainstream software development paradigm, and its artistic and creative use is booming. A growing number of software toolkits, frameworks and environments for art, music and design now employ functional programming languages and techniques. FARM is a forum for exploration and critical evaluation of these developments, for example to consider potential benefits of greater consistency, tersity, and closer mapping to a problem domain.

Workshop Registration

You can register for the FARM workshop through the ICFP registration page. Early registration deadline is Aug 4!

At least one author of each accepted submission must register and present their paper at the workshop.

Performance Evening

The traditional FARM performance evening was the final event of ICFP 2017 on September 9, at 7:30PM.
It happened at the Old Fire Station.

An evening of strange and wonderful music and audio/visual work made from computer code. Featuring an international line-up of artists, including groundbreaking livecoders who work directly with the innards of software, writing and manipulating code while a computer runs it, projecting their screens so you can see the code behind the performance. Performances will include: extreme manipulation of the Amen breakbeat, two audio-visual performances where algorithms bring shape, colour and sound together, an algorithmic take on Hindustani music, and an audio-visual journey into Lambda calculus.

In addition Columbian composer Alexandra Cardenas, also known for her performances at Algoraves (algorithmic raves) will give a keynote live coding performance, creating live music using the algorithmic pattern language Tidalcycles.
