The Creative Gathering – day 1


The party is now up and running, and the Creativia crew is busy preparing for today's compos, lectures and entertainment. Read on to find out what's on the creative plate today.

Creative Lounge: Newbie Challenge briefing (17:00)

Do you want to try your hand at making something cool with your computer? If you've been thinking of entering one of our compos, but haven't quite worked up the courage yet, we'll give you some extra motivation for finishing that picture or tune you've been working on. Meet up at the Creative Lounge at 17:00 for more information.

Creative Lounge: Programming 101 (20:00)

If you think programming looks interesting, but you don't know your if-constructions from your while-loops, this is the seminar for you. Anders Bondehagen from the Creativia crew will give you an introduction to programming basics, and prepare you for tomorrow's 3D graphics seminar.

Main Stage: Demoshow: Best of The Gathering (23:00)

The Gathering has seen its share of legendary demos through the years. Join us as our guests come on stage to present some of their favorite demos from the last two decades, and see how the art has evolved since the days of 7 MHz processors and 32-color graphics.
