About

Alpaca is a festival on Algorithmic Patterns in the Creative Arts comprised of live performances, workshops and conference talks. We aim to bring people together who value deep, human curiosity into patterns. We hope this call excites you whether you are exploring patterns in heritage crafts or contemporary algorithmic art.

Alpaca 2027 in Sheffield is organised by Sheffield Pattern Club, and is funded as part of the UK Research and Innovation Future Leader Fellowship “Algorithmic Pattern”, hosted by independent research studio Then Try This.
