September 27th - October 8th | Codefest First Edition
From September 27 to October 8 2021 CODEFEST will be held in Turin, the first festival in the world dedicated to source code, organized by the Departments of Philosophy and Sciences of Education, Informatics and Physics of the University of Turin and by the Codexpo.org association
We are all used to using computers and the programs that make them work almost automatically; we rarely think that behind every program there is a source code, and that this text was written by someone, at some time, in a certain language.
Codefest 2021 is dedicated to source code in all its forms
There will be an exhibition in which historical codes are exposed and explained and their contexts of creation and use are reconstructed, a theatrical performance, conferences and workshops, musical experiences of different genres and inspiration.
The Festival is aimed at an audience of professionals, ‘amateurs’ and interested, high school and university students, but with the ambition of being able to disseminate accurate and captivating source code for anyone.
In fact, at the heart of the event is the idea that programming and its languages represent a cultural phenomenon, as well as a technological one, of primary importance. CODEFEST is the festival of the culture of the source code, of its history, of its future. Not just computers, but Writing, Society, Heritage, Aesthetics.
the events are available on line in the streaming channel of the Festival
