Algorithmic Pattern 2025

Algorithmic Pattern is a festival for people who are curious about the practice and culture of algorithmic pattern-making.

People have always made algorithms to make patterns, and so this event will showcase heritage arts and crafts alongside more recent technologies.

The event will showcase work across disciplines, e.g. weaving, braiding, siteswap juggling, creative coding, algorithmic music, algorithmic choreography, campanology, modular origami and more.

This structure aims to be inclusive, and offer both in-person and online contributors a first-class experience.
