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.
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)
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
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!

Love the suggestions! And yes for certain let’s pencil it in for April - will circle back to put together a micro-site closer to the date, and for now please keep submitting suggestions
it’s been a while since last here!
