rand is a recently turned self employed software developer of the visual art-instrument niseq.
He started out studying film and fotography a decade ago, at which point he didn't have any experience with programming. His audio/visual art-installation, done as the final project at the photo-school Fatamorgana, led to the idea of making a new kind of instrument for making visual art.
A long journey later, through studying computer-science and philosophy at RUC, working as a Scala programmer for several years and making a lot of sideprojects in his favorite language, OCaml - the time has come to 'tie the loop' and go back to making art, now through the (yet to be seen) revolutionary visual instrument niseq.

The talk will be about the live art instrument niseq, which stands for 'the n-dimensional image-sequencer'. It will revolve around the foundational ideas of why niseq is relevant as a tool for making art, the design of the instrument from an artists perspective - and around the technical aspects of the construction of the software in the functional language OCaml.
Most of film-art made today is centered around a narrative structure - where the relevance of th… Read more
