NODE+CODE #16 – Other Spaces
End of the year, soup, community, meetup and other spaces
With NODE+CODE #16 we want to round of the year 2024 together with our community. We are invited into the spaces of basis e.V. and take a peek into projects that experiment with »other spaces«: a VR experience and carrier for stories and memories and a digital creative neighbourhood.

Carlos Hurtado Múnera will give us a peek inside “Her Last Song”: Her Last Song is an immersive VR experience set in North Macedonia that combines 360-degree video, 3D animation, and interactive elements to explore the interplay of personal and collective memory ingrained in the physical spaces we inhabit. Marija’s fragmented memories reflect on music, war, and love, while unfolding within a liminal space, a void suspended between past and present.
Program
Starting at 18:30, we will have some time in the beginning to explore the current exhibition at basis, which is kindly hosting us this time.
The HAP studio programme exhibition presents the work of a group of artists who have been working at basis for the last four years: From dealing with the ongoing climate catastrophe in the Capitalocene to coming to terms with repressed chapters of the history of Europe and Greece. From appreciating and reflecting on the history of Black Germans to empathically considering everyday and existential moments.
At around 19:00 we will start with the presentations from our community.
Drinks will be served by and in profit of the bar at basis and to make us feel comfortable with the cold weather outside we will – as always – organize free soup for everyone <3

What is NODE+CODE?
Since 2014, the meetup invites creatives, designers, artists, coders and anyone else interested to a series of events with changing locations and thematic focuses – all related to working with code in design and the arts. We want to build a community of people interested in the creative and critical application of technology in Frankfurt and Rhein-Main.
