Graffathon 2019 – Electronic art created during three day hackathon in Urban Mill

Posted on by
Vastaus

Intro audience

Graffathon is a weekend-long computer graphics hackathon, aiming to introduce graphics programming and demoscene culture in a beginner-friendly way. At Graffathon, the goal was to create a demo, i.e. a computer program that produces a non-interactive multimedia presentation.

C++

Participants created demos in teams of one to four people. At the end of the event, the demos were shown on a big screen for everyone to enjoy. The event helped beginners to get started with some presentations and workshops, and organizers were available to help with coding.

Graffathon has been organized every summer since 2013, and this year was the second time it was held at Urban Mill. The venue suited the event very well, providing many spots for creative teamwork, and enough space for the demo show at the Stage. In total, there were 63 participants who created 28 demos – you can watch them on Youtube here!

Text by Marton Gunyho and photos by Konsta Hölttä.

Graffathon 2019 was arranged 7.-9.6.2019 by Digital Media Club of Aalto University DOT. It is an association targeted for students who are interested in computer graphics, demoscene, game development, programming and doing creative things with computers in general.

Most members of DOT are studying at Aalto, but some come from other schools in Helsinki area or have already graduated. For more information: http://dot.ayy.fi/in-english.html

Tapahtuman järjesti Digitaalisen median ammattiainekerho DOT ry: http://dot.ayy.fi/ 

Tilojen käytön opiskelijaystävälliseen hintaan tarjosivat Urban Mill ja TEKin Uudenmaan aluetoimisto, jotka yhdessä pilotoivat uudenlaisia yhteisötilapalveluja Otaniemen alueella.

Graffathon 2018 käynnissä Otaniemessä – elektronisen taiteen hackathonissa kisataan koko viikonloppu

Posted on by
Vastaus

Elektronisen taiteen tapahtuma Graffathon alkoi Otaniemessä, Urban Millissä perjantaina 8.6. ja se kestää viikonlopun ylitse. Graffathon on hackathon, jossa paikan päällä luodaan demo, eli epäinteraktiivinen audiovisuaalinen ohjelma. Tapahtumaa on järjestetty DOT ry:n toimesta vuodesta 2013 lähtien, tosin aivan aluksi se tunnettiin nimellä CAG, eli Code+Audio+Graphics. Tapahtumassa on myös aloittelijoille suunnattuja opettavaisia esityksiä sekä muita teknologiaan ja demotaiteeseen liittyviä esityksiä.

Tapahtumaa voi seurata DOT ry:n Youtube-kanavan tapahtumastreamistä: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p1WlkGpo3A on nykyinen lähes reaaliajassa päivittyvä streami sekä https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1usY8hzlnR4 on streamistä otettu erillinen tallenne, joka koskee tapahtuman aloitusohjelmaa. Tapahtuman aikataulu on osoitteessa http://www.graffathon.fi/2018/schedule/.

Graffathonissa on kaksi kilpailusarjaa, eli compoa, kuten demoscene-”alakulttuurissa” sanotaan: Beginner-kilpailusarja, joka on aloittelijoille, sekä Advanced-kilpaílusarja, joka on kokeneemmille demonluojille. Tapahtuman aikana syntyneet demot katsotaan lopuksi valkokankaalta ja demot arvioidaan vertaisarvioinnin avulla antamalla 0-5 pistetttä kullekin demolle. Kuhunkin kilpailusarjaan osallistutaan 1-4 hengen ryhmänä ja “parhaiten” menestyneiden demojen tekijät palkitaan.

English summany

Graffathon started on Friday 8.6. in Urban Mill and it will last for the weekend. Graffathon is a demoscene related hackathon, where participants create a demo and which is mainly aimed for the people, who have no experience on the subject. Demo means uninteractive audiovisual computer program. Demos will be peer reviewed at the event. There is two compos or competitions to participate and the best demo creating groups will be rewarded on Sunday.

More information on the event at http://www.graffathon.fi/2018/.

Sisäilma-hackathon käynnissä Urban Millissä

Posted on by
Vastaus

Espoon kaupunki järjesti innovaatiokilpailun 3.5, jossa haetaan ratkaisuja koulujen ja päiväkotien sisäilmaongelmiin. Hackathon on ensimmäinen Espoon kaupungin järjestämä hackathon, jossa Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu toimii yhteistyökumppanina.

Hackathon on 12 tuntia kestävä innovaatiokilpailu, missä haasteena on kiinteistödatan pohjalta ideoida uudenlaisia digitaalisia ratkaisuja, joilla voidaan ylläpitää terveellistä ja turvallista oppimisympäristöä.

Haettavan ratkaisun pitää tukea Espoo-tarinassa olevaa Koulut kuntoon –tavoitetta sekä hyödyntää hackathonissa jaettua kiinteistödataa. Sen pitää soveltua Espoon tilapalveluiden toimintaympäristöön sekä perustua uudenlaiseen toimintatapaan.

Hackathon aloitettiin aamulla Espoon kaupunginjohtajan Jukka Mäkelän puheenvuorolla, jonka jälkeen tiimit aloittivat työskentelyn. Tilaisuudessa on osallistujina kuusi tiimiä monipuolisesti eri aloilta: rakenne-, sisäilma-, ohjelmisto ja talotekniikan asiantuntijoita kuin myös työhyvinvoinnin- ja kosteudenhallinnan asiantuntijoita. Parin tunnin kuluttua tiimit pitchaavat ideansa, jonka jälkeen jury valitsee parhaimman ratkaisun. Paras ratkaisu voittaa palkkion 5 000€ sekä tiimi voi päästä kokeilemaan ratkaisuaan kaupungin Tilapalveluiden kanssa. Tiedote voittajan sekä voittajan etenemisestä tulee myöhemmin.
