Live Coding Sessions #10
This edition dives into narrative spaces, in an exciting collaboration with Het Documentaire Paviljoen we’ll explore how live coding can be used for storytelling and world building in real time through code, sound and visuals. Storytelling not as a fixed script, but as an evolving space where meaning unfolds through systems, rhythm and transformation.
It’s our pleasure to confirm Flor de Fuego, Roger Pibernat, Ali Eslami and Shahin Entezami. Flor is a digital-craft artist who will be experimenting with live coding 3D worlds. Roger Pibernat is an illustrator and live coder who improvises animated collages in live performances. Ali and Shahin are award-winning collaborators performing live together for the first time with the work-in-process project ESHRAQ, a modular computational model.

Line up
After nearly ten years of remote collaboration, Ali Eslami and Shahin Entezami perform live together for the first time with ESHRAQ, a modular computational model. During the performance, they build and move through evolving virtual worlds in real time inside their Unreal Engine workspace, where image and sound continuously shape one another.
Ali Eslami (b.1991) is an Iranian-Dutch artist based in Amsterdam whose work explores speculative world-building, memory and computation. Drawing from engineering, philosophy and game culture, he creates immersive works across VR, film, interactive simulation and performance. His projects have received international recognition, including the IDFA DocLab Award and a Golden Calf for Best Interactive. Eslami is an alumnus of the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (2021–23).
Shahin Entezami, also known as Tegh, is a musician, sound designer and media artist based in Paris. His work ranges from dense drones and noise textures to subtle, emotionally resonant compositions, blending electronic processing with field recordings, voice and traditional instruments. He has presented work internationally and composed for film, VR, performance and installation.
Flor de Fuego is a digital-craft artist based in Germany who primarily uses programming and live coding to create performative experiences. Her research explores concepts such as the body, space, code, and the chaos-cosmos. She has participated in several international festivals across Europe and the Americas, both individually and in collaboration with other artists.
Roger Pibernat is an illustrator, animator, writer and livecoder for music an visuals. Along Canadian artist Glen Fraser, he has developed Animatron, a tool to collectively improvise 2D animation collages in live performances. He has been a member of the Barcelona Laptop Orchestra and co-founder of the collectives Wú and Axolot. He is an active member of the live coding scene in Barcelona and has developed Živa, a live coding language for SuperCollider, and contributed to TidalCycles with Superfm.
