We’ve just wrapped up a panel with coders who built their own programming language for creating audiovisual art. David Ogborn draws heavy inspiration from cognitive linguistics. As an Australian who emigrated to Canada, he physically felt how his language carried specific, embodied dimensions. To better express his way of thinking, he created his own tool.

The coders emphasized the need to challenge inherited frameworks and realities, and to keep transforming the code — not just technically, but conceptually.

David Ogborn: Since its inception in 2018, Punctual has documented the contexts surrounding its emergence — particularly through collaborative audiovisual experiments within the Estuary platform ecosystem. It traces the language’s evolution, the motivations behind rewriting version 0.5, the outcomes of that process, and outlines areas that still call for further development.
