In the early days, the blinking of tiny light bulbs indicated that the computer was working: it was processing instructions and accessing memory locations. Prior to that, holes were punched onto cards as codes in order to run a programme, and also display the results. The representation of the computer’s labour gradually evolved into the first moving digital images that flickered on a glass and phosphor screen of a computer named Baby. These moving images were patterns of pixels flashing rhythmically on the screen, showing the process of Baby’s memory as it ran a programme. The rest is history.
This workshop initiated by artist Enoch Cheng, is just a simple task: to programme and display the work of a computer. Enoch Cheng is an artist whose practice spans moving image, installation, curating, dance, events, theatre, and performance. He is currently the artist in residence at POGON – Zagreb Centre for Independent Culture and Youth.

U ranim danima računarstva, trepćuća svjetla malih žaruljica indicirala su rad računala: procesuiralo je instrukcije i pristupalo lokacijama u memoriji. Prije toga kao kodovi za pokretanje programa i prikazivanje rezultata služile su kartice s probušenim rupama. Prikaz računalnog rada postepeno je evoluirao u prve pokretne digitalne slike koje su treperile na ekranu od fosfora i stakla računala zvanog Baby. Ove pokretne slike bile su uzorci ritmički treperećih piksela koji su na ekranu prikazivali sadržaj Babyeve memorije dok je ono pokretalo program. Ostalo je povijest.
Ovu je radionicu inicirao umjetnik Enoch Cheng, a sastoji se od jednostavnog zadatka: programirati i prikazati rad računala. Enoch Cheng je umjetnik koji se bavi pokretnom slikom, instalacijama, kuriranjem, plesom, organizacijom događanja, kazalištem i performansom. Trenutno je na umjetničkoj rezidenciji u MSU u organizaciji POGONA - zagrebačkog centra za nezavisnu kulturu i mlade.
