Welcome to the creative coding community in Amsterdam!
This event is a collaboration between Lava Lab, Submarine Channel & Creative Coding Amsterdam and is open to everyone, regardless of experience.
HACKATHON (ticket needed)
During the day (10:30 – 18:00), there will be a virtual reality hackathon based on the project 'De Pont':
http://depont.submarinechannel.com/
We'll be making movies, games or interactive storytelling experiences. Our theme is Amsterdam Noord and the ferry that crosses the IJ. Check the website for free 3D assets to use and examples of past projects!
Tickets are 20 euro (incl. BTW) and include lunch, a super fancy dinner by John Pastinaak (De Ruimte), and snacks + drinks during the day event. Places for this hackathon are limited.
Some VR related experience (Unity, 3D-modeling, storytelling, etc.) is handy but not absolutely necessary – we'll guide you through the basics!
Submarine will make a selection of the projects. These projects will:
- join the competition to get presented at EYE filmmuseum
- be published on the Submarine website.
MEETUP (free event)
The evening program (19:00 – 22:00) will be free and open to everyone as long as we all still fit in the building ;) There will be short talks on virtual reality projects and storytelling (tba). Additionally, the results of the hackathon will of course be shown!
VR AFTERPARTY! (free event)
At 22:00 the VR afterparty will start where we can bring our VR goggles to the dance floor!
The afterparty takes place at our friends and neighbours at De Ruimte, just around the corner: http://www.cafederuimte.nl/
More info about this party will follow soon.
