Out of Control - Call for Instruments
Are you ready to liberate the knob, emancipate the fader, and unleash the untapped potential of your elbows, knees, or even your eyebrows? Then this is your moment. This is “Out of Control”, an event where the boundaries of musical expression are shattered, reassembled, and gloriously reimagined. Organized by the Tangible Music Lab and it’s Postdigital Lutherie master programme, this is your chance to join a wild, experimental and slightly absurd journey into the world of digital controllers. We’re calling on artists, tinkerers, inventors, and dreamers to create the most outrageous and delightfully bizarre controllers the world has ever seen.

ICLC 2027 Antwerp, Belgium
March 9 to March 13, 2027
The International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC) is dedicated to practices and research focused on technologies and philosophies that interpret the use of computer code and the public writing of algorithms as performative gestures. In its previous editions the community has provided valuable insights on this practice from diverse perspectives, including artistic, technical, philosophical, educational, social and political.
The 10th edition of ICLC will take place in Antwerp, Belgium, from March 9 to March 13, 2027 at the Royal conservatoire of Antwerp and at De Singel International Arts Center. We invite submissions in the form of papers, live performances, workshops and satellite events. The call is open to anyone engaged with live coding and its community principles.
