Between the 2nd-5th October, MKIAC are returning to light up Milton Keynes with an inspiring and innovative four-day festival. This year, they have everything from workshops and seminars to music and drones.
This year, the City of Codes and Light Festival will be kicking things off on Wednesday 2nd October with a seminar at the iconic Bletchley Park to celebrate the first anniversary of the World’s First AI Safety Summit.
In honour of the pioneering Summit held at Bletchley Park last year, the seminar will unlock the historical development of geometric patterns in Islamic art, showing how these designs are rooted in mathematical principles!
The following guest speakers will be there on the day Dr Brigitte Stenhouse, Dr Oliver Gingrich and Professor Kamal Bechkoum. Registration is required for this event, so make sure to sign up through the Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1538603040089675?active_tab=about.
The City of Codes & Light Festival would not be complete without an unforgettable parade! This year, the Digital Lantern Parade will be taking place on Saturday 5th October and will be a visual representation of neuroscience, AI and the concept of social connectedness. The best part? This interactive display will be available afterwards at the Milton Keynes Central Library for visitors!
This year, on Saturday 5th October there will be an extraordinary projection mapping piece called, "Nature's Algorithm,” displayed on the Milton Keynes Library. The piece has been created by Inspiral Design, with artwork created by Shenley Brook End School, SCIoT-Students and Bletchley Park and supported by multimedia creative studio Limbic Cinema. This year, the City of Codes and Light Festival will be culminating in a show by the world-renowned drone art show company Celestial. This will be accompanied by the vibrant electric sounds of Jimi Needles & the Club Classics Orchestra at Campbell Park on Saturday 5th October at 9:45pm.
Not only will this be a night to remember, it is also FREE to attend so we will see you there!
