Build your own bird detector! Learn step by step to build a fully customised animal sounds monitoring device, trained on a local dataset. This workshop is for bird nerds, sound wizards, and for those who are into DYI and low-tech solutions. New to all this? That’s great: coding experience is useful, but not required.

The workshop will be based on the bird detector developed by Matteo Holyoke Marangoni (@matteo_h_marangoni) for the project Chorusing Symbionts. He combines music with visual art, theatre, and new technologies. He develops robotic instruments and artificial creatures to compose spaces in which sound is experienced with the whole body and all the senses. His work draws inspiration from animal communication, bioacoustics, and ecoacoustics, exploring how sound can mediate relationships between humans, machines, and other life forms, and proposing embodied and ecological notions of intelligence, consciousness and subjecthood.

What does it mean to design within ecological limits?

In this workshop hosted by Ibo Ibelings (@iebeaux) from Creative Coding Utrecht (@creativecodingutrecht), we’ll take the first steps toward a smaller, more sustainable internet as a physical and ecological system. Learn the basics of building a mini web server using an old Android phone, and experience digital infrastructure in a tangible way. We’ll explore websites that sometimes go offline, adapt to sun and weather, and discover how constraints can inspire new aesthetics and stories. This workshop is created by Marie Verdeil (@marie_verdeil) and Rein van der Woerd (@goudreinette).

What you need: an old Android phone

Learn how to make complex societal issues playful and interactive with @patrickblenkarn and @miltonlim, creators of the live game experience @asses.masses!

Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim are conceptual artists exploring urgent questions around the social value of art, digital labour, and the political potential of games. Mixing their backgrounds in performance, philosophy, psychology, and digital media, their collaborations have manifested in video games, participatory installations, digital archives, and card games.

In addition to asses.masses, Patrick and Milton are also the co-founders of the Canadian national video archive of performance (videocan) and the co-creators behind a performing arts economy trading card game (culturecapital).

🎮 How can interactive storytelling make complex societal issues engaging and accessible?

✍️ In this hands-on session, @Patrickblenkarn & @miltonlim will guide you through their process of designing participatory narratives—then invite you to brainstorm and prototype your own.

🤖 Part masterclass, part game jam, this evening will explore how to blend humor, interactivity, and depth to create experiences that challenge and connect. Bring your ideas, collaborate with others, and leave with the tools to turn abstract themes into playful, meaningful stories.

🐴 Check out their game @asses.masses at the Spring Performing Arts Festival (@springutrecht) on May 16-17, and lead a donkey revolution during a live interactive performance!

🐦 How do algorithms, birds, and other beings interact, communicate, and co-create?

During this meetup, you will be introduced to three projects that make creative use of ecological data to approach interspecies communication.

Céline Angonin will present Bioacoustic AI, which contributes to biodiversity research and conservation efforts by monitoring wildlife sounds.

Matteo Holyoke Marangoni (@matteo_h_marangoni) will present Chorusing Symbionts: an investigation into interspecies music between humans, robots and animals through ecoacoustics and embodied interaction.

Niels Jansen (@heyniels) will showcase the Vogelluisterstation: a sensor station that records, analyses and visualises bird sounds, making them accessible to both citizen scientists and professionals.

Join us for two hands-on masterclasses exploring live coding, modular synthesis and experimental electronic music through open source tools.

@james__holden will introduce Benny, his open-source modular playground for live music, and @lucretio308 will lead a workshop on programming music on the fly with Pharo, Coypu, and Phausto. Please note that this event requires some familiarity with live coding and modular synthesis.

Want to spend a full weekend immersed in live coding inspiration? Check out the performances at @tivolivredenburg on April 24th, with @james__holden, @turbulente & @eloielbonnoi, @sabrinaverhage & @lucretio308, and an afterparty hosted by @nl_codinglive!

CCU and @amartefonds invite Netherlands-based artists to apply for Practices of Alliance: a research-driven residency for an artist working at the intersection of art, technology, and ecology.

Through an open-ended research trajectory, you will develop site-specific, scalable prototypes (e.g., performances, installations) that explore the transformative potential of making-with human and more-than-human others.

📅 End of May — July 2026
📍@hofvancartesius, Utrecht
🌿The residency concludes with a one-week Summer Camp at @artphywessinghuizen in Groningen, July 12th- 19th
