‘Patcher Kutcha’

Once again, the Patcher Kucha Talks were probably the most popular event at NODE. Set in a cozy atmosphere, forum participants had the opportunity to provide insights into their projects and current work.

As an open format, Patcher Kucha invited the whole festival community to contribute and review their work while others sat back, had a beer and enjoyed the spontaneous pitches of the community. Owing its name to vvvv-based ‘patch’, Patcher Kucha is a slightly modified version of the popular world-wide presentation format ‘Pecha Kucha’.

Interview with Patcher Kucha participants

Furthermore they encourage woman to get active in and contribute to the so far male driven communities for creative coding.

Moderation
