Alpaca is a festival devoted to algorithmic patterns in the creative arts, consisting of live performances, workshops and conference lectures. The festival brings together people with a deep, human curiosity about patterns, whether explored through traditional crafts such as weaving, braiding and origami, or through contemporary algorithmic art and creative coding (but not artificial intelligence).
The festival focuses on three aspects of pattern-making processes: the production methods themselves, the properties of materials, and the cultural context surrounding pattern-making. All practitioners working with pattern-based art forms can apply, regardless of discipline.
Selected performers or workshop leaders have national travel expenses covered as well as an artist fee. Conference speakers receive a free festival ticket. The event takes place in Europe/United Kingdom.
