01 / ABOUT SHÙ

术 /ʂû/

Shù is an independent platform for live coding and experimental practices connecting artists, documenting processes, and cultivating a global creative community.

Shù takes its name from 术 — technique, craft and knowledge learned through practice. Through workshops, performances and remote jams, we bring artists and communities together to experiment with code, sound and image.
