Test_Lab:
Live_Coding
Code as an interface for improvisation
and networked performances.
December 13th,
2007, 20:00h, V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media,
Eendrachtsstraat 10, 3012XL,
This event will be streamed live at http://live.v2.nl/livecoding.ram
Featuring:
Powerbooks_Unplugged (D/NL), Florian
Cramer (Piet Zwart Institute, D/NL), Carla Mulder (Lange Poten Theatre
Group,
NL), Susie Jae (aka. Jean Van Sloan, US/NL), and V2_Lab.
A
relatively new programming paradigm called Live Coding
is redefining the way in
which software can be applied in live performances. While improvisation
has a
long history in the arts, the traditional edit › compile › run
programming
model limits software use to predetermined procedures running alongside
a performance;
allowing a programmer very limited improvisation, live alteration, or
adjustment of the software during runtime. In contrast with this
traditional
model, Live Coding provides
expressive control over software code during runtime, which allows for
live
(artistic) improvisation by programmers.
In Live Coding,
programmers no longer technically assist performers; they are
(co-)performers, using code as an interface to improvise with
either different types of performers (ranging from dancers to DJs) or
in
networks with other live coders.
Test_Lab:
Live_Coding will feature
debates and
presentations on Live Coding, a
networked code jamming performance, live coded music, introductions and
hands-on experiences in Live Coding
programming languages for code improvisation, and a live coded
Augmented Reality
experience.
