This year’s event offers an exhibition, artists’ workshops and – like every year – lectures, presentations and sound-performances.

claude will be playing live on Friday night with RDEX noisy audio-visual reaction-diffusion explorations, and GULCII live coding untyped lambda calculus with visualisation and sonification of the internal interpreter state (implemented in Haskell with GTK and Cairo, sending messages to Pure-data for the sonification).

radiokulturo.goto10.org by rob will be presented as an eight channel live streaming sound installation in the Kunstuniversität.

A controlling and repression instrument is transformed into a game and expression tool.
A written user manual is transformed into a funny physical game. “le Jeu des Jeux” is a production of the ! Co LAPse KoDe project held by a collective of artists from Belgium, Scotland and Brazil. It is a creation in the form of an ongoing game around the use of surveillance cameras and a motion tracking free software that records and analyzes the behaviors and in which performers, audience, objects, movements, sounds and images come together as agents with equal rights. In this interactive participative production, the audience can be an actor if he/she’d like to. His/her participation can have an influence on the game itself.

Collective !CoLAPseKoDe
Formed by Dorothée Depeauw, Simon Yuill, Kirsty Stansfield, An Mertens, Matthias Koole and Liselot Jansen from Belgium, Scotland and Brazil, the collective was created during a improvisation workshop by the American cellist Tristan Honsinger. Thus came the idea to extend the multidisciplinary improvisation research with the use of software OBJSCRS, that was in its first basic version at that moment. Simon Yuill got involved with the project and a first performance was planned through the extension of the software. This first generation was Kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope became a collaborative installation-performance. The creative process and the performance of Kaleidoscope brought many questions, answers and opened up many possibilities. To explore these questions, the !CoLAPseKoDe was formed. The group wishes to continue its researches with the free software for motion tracking, OBJSCRS, which allows the interpretation of movements of bodies and objects through real-time images, using, different types of sensor zones and a surveillance camera. The fundamental idea is to transform a repressive tool (surveillance camera) into a creative one. Through workshops for experimentation with the software, with the participation of local artists (programmers, musicians, dancers, and anyone interested).

Un instrument de contrôle et de répression est transformé en outil de jeu et d’expression.
Un manuel d’utilisation écrit est transformé en un jeu physique amusant. “
Le Jeu des Jeux” est une production du projet ! Co LAPse KoDe porté par un collectif d’artistes belge, écossais et brésilien. C’est une création sous forme de jeu continu autour de l’utilisation de caméras de surveillance et d’un logiciel libre de motion tracking qui enregistre et analyse les comportements et dans laquelle les performeurs, le public, les objets, les mouvements, les sons et les images se retrouvent comme des agents avec des droits égaux. 
Dans cette production interactive-participative, le public est aussi acteur s’il le souhaite et sa participation peut influencer le cours du jeu.
