dadageek's quarterly student showcase features the digital artwork created by students who took part in dadageek's classes. The Showcase was sponsored in part by the City of Austin's Community Initiative Program and Arturia. Dadageek is a Sponsored Project of Austin Creative Alliance. For the March 2018 event, the 61 dadageek students who spent several weeks exploring code and hardware for creative purposes shared their creations at the event. Open to the public and held at Atmosphere Co-Working on Austin's east side, the 3-hour event drew over 300 attendees. Artwork included code-generated visuals, digital sculptures, and live DIY synth performances. We also had jaw-dropping performances by dadageek instructors Kyle Evans, Mickey Delp, and Matthew Steinke as well as artwork by John-Mike Reed and Jerome E. Martinez. +++
