Algorave is a dance party where artists get together to produce sound and visuals that are generated through algorithms. Often this involves some element of live where artists write code in the moment and project their screens to reveal it. It is a community built on the use of open source software, a love of experimentation and an embracing of technological error and failure.
The term Algorave was coined by Alex McLean and Nick Collins in 2012. It is a fusion of the words ‘algorithm’ and ‘rave’. Since emerging in the UK, Algorave has subsequently become a global movement with parties happening across the world.
