project : Círculo e Meio

Círculo e Meio

description

Círculo e Meio is an audio-visual live coding performance combining choreographic thinking and algorithmic improvisation.

The performance currently combines two distinct but connected digital interfaces – an audio system for live coding by Renick Bell and a visual system for live coding in the web browser by Joana Chicau – with additional tools enabling data-sharing and possibilities for each to influence the other’s system. The interaction use a shared choreographic vocabulary, creating meaning and producing an imaginarium around the act and conditions of coding. It provides a platform enabling spontaneous joint composition and audio-visual interactions.

This performance is part of Choreographies of the Circle & Other Geometries, a research project initiated by Joana Chicau & Renick Bell on socio-technical protocols for collaborative audio-visual live coding and a corresponding peer-to-peer environment programmed in JavaScript.
