PET.CORP is invited to perform high speed ACID visuals for the great Goto80 chip-rave-acid-live-action-show, at Pukkelpop Festival new stage: the E-Rena
We’re also very excited to witness the Infinite Acid Machine world premiere, where real robots steal musicians job, and get full credit for it.
PET.CORP is flying to SEC-T security conference in Stockholm, to perform the freshest live visuals tailor-made for computer security superstar Goto80 !

How many pixels and megabytes do we really need to express ourselves? The answer usually seems to be more. But PET.CORP suggests something else. They work with text characters and small scripts to create surreal, meditative, frenetic and beautiful works of art. All their works in this exhibition was made with only a few kilobytes of code and a “palette” of 256 predefined text characters.
PET.CORP uses a set of text characters known as PETSCII. It was embedded as a font in the Commodore 64 computer from 1982, which is exactly what PET.CORP uses for their visuals. Nothing more, nothing less.
While some of their work is made with a traditional frame-by-frame animation (365 — 1 Year of daily GIF, 2016) they mainly works with scripts that run as programs while you are watching it. They are not videos.
PET.CORP also invited Goto80 to be part of the exhibition, partly to show their joint effort Shirbum, but also to exhibit his Robot Music Non Stop (2019) where a robot uses a PETSCII interface to create music on the fly.

The theme this year was “What home means to you”.
So we decided to do a game that describe the Hong Kong housing market.
The goal is to survive, as buildings keep falling from the sky, while trying to get rich by collecting the money generated by the new blocks.
Here is the presentation:
