VENUARY 2026 (one video per day)

,
1

Hi all :wave: it’s been a while since last here!

I did Genuary last January 2025, which is a project where you do one creative coding sketch per day, and each day you are given a prompt, for the direction or concept that should be. I had a lot of fun doing this, and was hoping to do it again this year, but wanted to do something more video circuits aligned. I feel the prompts this year are a little less “poetic”, and it will also be a push to lever in video circuits stuff into that, so I am here to float the idea:

VENUARY 2026

Basically, submit a phrase or word or quote or sound or concept or fact or number, and then we assign these to the days of January, 1-31, and create something each day on the prompt.

We can post them here, and also on usual socials, using #venuary and #venuary1 #venuary2 #venuary3 etc.

I’ll start:

Onomatopoeic rush (must include sound)
Metropolis
Jazzy broth
Triple triplets
Hyperspace

It’s quite last minute (2 days to go), but can knock-up a microsite, if can get this off the ground / not just chatting nonsense into the void. So encouraging contributions here - just type anything that comes to mind - here are a couple of quotes that sprung to mind:

  • Wenn zu perfekt Gott ist bose (Nam June Paik)
  • Whether a hundred or a thousand bottles pass through your bladder - nothing more than a filter (must have sound)
  • Always go a little further into the water

Would be up for that! But February is a busy one, and also like last minute preparation. Maybe something in Spring could be nice - flowers start to bloom, life starts to pick up again - also because it would be possible to turn April into Vavril, and on the 14th have to do Vavril 14th

Vavril sounds even better. Let’s shake it at the beginning of March :space_invader:

i like the idea! scanlines can be a slow moving social medium (which i like about it haha) so i just saw this. if i know, say, 2 weeks in advance, i can probably plan around something like this any month. here’s a prompt idea:

infrathin.

it’s a thing from marcel duchamp, concept very much open to interpretation (hence fun as a prompt).

let me know if peeps are on board. also, yay, websites!
