Violet On The GoAdyen was hosting the Rackathon challenge.
two teams compete to see who can plug in and patch network cables together the fastest.
Volunteer food from the angel kitchen. If you work volunteer shifts you can claim free food to keep yourself going during camp.
Chilling out at the chaosfurs village, I decorated the tent with my raccoon plushies
Some more pics from the chaosfurs village, I set up some of my RGB lights for decoration and they did add to the cozy vibes quite a bit.
Some kind of modular synth shenanigans along with some projection mapping happening next door to the chaos furs village.
And then someone decided to plug a smoke machine into the tent and the entire tent was completely fogged up so absolutely nobody could see what was going on in there anymore.
This sure was an.. experience..
Back in the arcade again, a Jaleco VJ machine had been set up. Also playing some TGM and Wacca.
Trying some of the food truck food, the bao buns weren't too expensive so I had a couple of them.
More volunteer camera op work, I think I could have done with a chair up there though because my legs weren't doing too great. It didn't help that I barely even needed to touch the camera since it was pretty much already looking at what it needed to be looking at.
Milliways brought with the jungle tent, which held many fun raves during the camp.
There was also a raccoon at Milliways, not entirely sure who did this but I liked it.
Just normal things going on at the demoscene village.
Anything is possible, at Zombocom.
Its that song, you know the one, from Undertale! the funny song!
You are being watched.
Going for a ride with Cato. We went to visit a nearby nude beach to chill out at and swim for a bit in the sun. It was quite a nice break from everything.
More modular synth goodness. There was absolutely no shortage of modular synths to play with
Going for another late night walk around the camp site, and stumbled across a group of people enjoying some CRD videos on the side of the bao bun truck.
There was a website you could go to during camp to chat with anyone, the text you typed into the chat box would appear to everyone as it was being typed.
The quantum jungle, actually something I'm quite familiar with at this point! This installation has travelled to many events I've been to in the past in many different shapes and forms.
decided to try some more food truck snacks. I can have some strawberries, as a treat!
Back in the fablab again with Molive. This time things were actualy set up and operational. You'd begin with a text adventure game, after finishing it would grant you access to the rest of the rooms on the boat, including a few different interesting little art installations.
I enjoyed the room with the light filter, and also the takes on game of life.
Oh right yes, this was also a thing in the fablab. I remember messing about with it at MCH as well. Some kind of drum that would make different vibrations depending on the position of your hand above it.
Thank you everyone who sent me Chaos post during the week. I'm surprised the one addressed to "Violent" even made its way over to me even though it wasn't addressed to anywhere specific.
A collection of the signage that was around the camp site. I managed to get ahold of the Violet field sign and took it home with me.
A sincere message left next to the exit of the angel tent.
See you at "THC2029" The Hacker Camp 2029
I honestly hope they actually call it that.
Back at the train station again. Myself and Vurpo making our way over to Amsterdam where we would stay with Lynn for the night, before a long journey to Evoke.
And that concludes the WHY Camp thread!
There was definitely a lot more things I could have covered this time and I feel this thread has lacked in quite a few areas compared to what I covered at MCH previously, but this was mostly due to health issues which impacted what I was getting up to during my time at camp, and also the fact that I was using a temporary phone with a camera that malfunctioned a lot, resulting in many photos being lost unfortunately.
On the final day of camp, I started having issues with my knee swelling up again, which wasn't a particularly great way to end the trip :(
Overall, I still had a great time, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again at EMF Camp this year.
