2 weeks until our Inércia 2025 event takes place! Checked the program schedule? Finished those bridge theme inspired entries? Registered to attend? Great! Now help us promote the event to the rest of the digital art community out there! inercia.party

Second Reality now has a fully portable C++ version!
Thanks to the work of @conspiracy.hu and JSRProductions
You can even run it on your browser! jsr-productions.com/secondrealit...
Here is the C++ source github.com/XorJS/Second...
And the web page jsr-productions.com/secondrealit...

Looks like someone took our ball and ran with it, and continued with a fully portable C++ port of Second Reality - including a browser version!

Finally we can replace DOOM as "the thing you run on things"! 💪

Saturday 6th of December we will host a workshop given by the developers of TiXL, teaching Inércia visitors how to use TiXL for generating visual effects and motion graphics for installations, live performances, and VJing. tixl.app You're going to miss it?
TiXL
A powerful FREE software for generating visual effects and motion graphics for installations, live performances, and VJing.
It is easy to learn, yet incredibly powerful.

The theme for Inércia 2025 is bridges! Yes, those small and large systems carefully engineered to bring and maintain connectivity. Technological bridges, cultural bridges, social bridges, circuit board bridges... Get inspired and show us what bridges mean to you 6-7 December.
