Finale of Kikk Festival didn't disappoint - @danielsimu.bsky.social performed on stage with his Acrobot 😁. Apparently the code is now available to download and build your own: github.com/hapiel/worksho… . Impressive and hilarious#kikkk#kikk2525

A journey through art, ai and existentialism from @roberthodgin.bsky.social at Kikk Festival, taking in the highs, lows and above all, utterly mesmerising creations from the master of design-led simulations 🫡. #kikk #kikk25

A nostalgic trip from @evanroth.bsky.social at Kikk Festival through over 20 years of work, from lazertagging with F.A.T. to printing out your entire browser history, visiting undersea internet fibre relay stations or playing with different world map projections. Inspiring! #kikk #kikk25

Hugely impressive talk at Kikk Festival from Barnaby Steel (Marshmallow Lazer Feast) on their creative output over the years, taking scientific data and turning it into interactive art. Drones, lasers, VR and their latest WIP involving realtime O2 levels around the world #kikk #kikk25

Great to see Tim Hunkin (of Novelty Automation) talk at this year's Kikk Festival, presenting his latest wacky arcade inventions with his usual dry british wit, plus a fascinating behind-the-scenes peek at the construction and testing process #kikk #kikk25

Super showcase from @rive_app on their latest feathering feature that uses WebGL's Pixel Local Storage extension to simulate a Gaussian blur effect at a fraction of the GPU cost 🤘 #khronosgroup #gdc2025

Using 3d tiles with #CaesiumJS to render large "Digital Twin" 3d models from Bentley Systems in the browser. Very cool! 😎 #khronosgroup #gdc2025

Great talk by @fawzi.zone about the origin of creative ideas, and how to work with the constraints of the medium. "Creative vision comes from using self imposed constraints to your advantage" #GDC2025
