SibHack Budapest 2015

6 August 2015

A brandnew hackathon contest combines music and digital creativity

Digital creativity, classical music and visual arts will be combined this autumn in Budapest. SibHack is an event for code, music and digital creativity, inspired by the life, work and time of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It is a hackathon spanning over 30 hours (Saturday to Sunday) and it looks for creative and open-minded ways to combine the iconic composer with modern technology. SibHack will take place on September 12.-13. in Tesla Cultural Center. Participating teams have two days and one night to create a demo that is linked to art and the social aspect of technology. The objective is to create informative, experiential and experimental digital content inspired by Sibelius. The winning team will travel to and present at the Music Tech Fest in Ljubljana September 18 - 20, 2015.
