Nummer 6 van Vrije Geesten: Derek Lomas.

Een bijzondere ontmoeting met iemand bij wie renaissancefilosofie, mystiek en AI moeiteloos samenkomen.

Met kunstmatige intelligentie maakt Derek eeuwenoude kennis opnieuw toegankelijk. In de hoop op niets minder dan een nieuwe renaissance.

A message from our founder, @dereklomas
From ancient wisdom to a new Renaissance.

We’re here in Amsterdam @embassyofthefreemind, home to @theritmanlibrary , one of the world’s great collections devoted to magic, mysticism, Hermeticism, and esoteric thought.

It is now also home to Source Library, where AI translation is opening thousands of ancient and early modern texts to readers around the world.

In the 15th century, Marsilio Ficino helped ignite the Renaissance by translating ancient Greek wisdom for a new generation. Today, we’re asking what might happen if we do the same for the Renaissance itself.

A new Renaissance begins with access to the old one.

✨ Design tiny games, pixel art, and 8-bit sounds from scratch.
👾 Learn PICO-8 and vibe-code with ChatGPT — no experience needed.
🎮 Hands-on creative workshop, playful and beginner-friendly.
📍 LAB111 (Amsterdam)
🗓️ Saturday, July 12, 13:00–18:00
🔗bit.ly/8bitvibes

Join us for a day of creative exploration! We’ll be creating 8-bit style games with the simple, free platform PICO-8, in collaboration with AI. Artists, musicians, hackers, gamers, scientists, filmmakers, storytellers, students, educators, curious beginners – all are welcome!

At the workshop, you will:
- Learn foundational ideas in game design, including how mechanics, rules, challenge, and player experience come together to shape fun and emotion in games.
- Play and analyze classic 8-bit games to explore the graphics, sounds, narrative cues, and feel — and use your insights to spark inspiration.
- Define a creative direction and set of design principles for your own game — including graphics, sound, and game design elements.
- Collaborate with AI by using everyday spoken language prompts to generate working code for PICO-8, a simple, free platform for 8-bit games.
- Tweak and iterate your game using PICO-8’s built-in tools for sprite editing, sound design, and code modification.
- Playtest and share your game with other participants in a friendly, curious, and supportive environment. taken in LAB 111 by @dereklomas
