In this event at Church For All Nations, Lori Napoleon aka Meridian7 performed an analog audio excursion that brings original telephone equipment back to life. This event was part of 2013 New York Electronic Art Festival, in partnership with Church For All Nations and Hells Kitchen Cultural Center / Rhythm In The Kitchen Festival. Continue reading
Blake Shaw will present a work in progress titled “The Bridge”. The Bridge is a project to facilitate real-time collaborations amongst artist across borders using Nomad OS, a modular peer-to-peer live streaming video software currently in development that allows video, graffiti, and performance artists to collaborate on projects across space in cities and with people they would otherwise be unable to physically visit due to international immigration law, starting in Israel and Palestine.
Leaders in Software and Art was founded in 2009 to bring together the community of software and electronic artists, creative coders, data visualists, curators, collectors, digital and interactive agencies, and others who make their careers at the intersection of art and technology. Continue reading
Artist and mathematician Robert B. LISEK will present his recent bioengineering software projects SPECTRUM and CAPITAL, exploring the relationship between bio-molecular technology, code and issues arising from network technologies by combining his DNA code with codes of viruses and recently by testing influence of radioactive materials on biological entities.

Partnering with this year’s LiSA conference (Leaders in Software and Art) , we will offer this workshop that focuses on Max/MSP Jitter’s OpenGL framework to create compelling interactive visuals in 3D. We will also be using Blender (a free and open source 3D modeling software) to create our own basic models to import and work with in Jitter. Participants will leave the 8 hour workshop with a trove of reusable code and resources to begin writing their own 3D Video software or Interactive Visual Environments. Continue reading
Free play meets social engineering? ‘Glorious noise’? Anti-structures? Willful complexity? An orchestrated, real-time, interactive collision between the cyborgism of guitarist Han-earl Park, and the incomparably original melodic and timbral sensibilities of saxophonist Catherine Sikora and saxophonist-clarinetist Josh Sinton. The trio will render into music, Metis 9, a collection of improvisative tactics, and higher-level interactive macros for group improvisation. Continue reading
ERS is an open collaborative research project, which investigates hidden physical processes occurring permanently in our everyday environment saturated by electromagnetic waves, especially ionic radiation. The project investigates the effect of radiation on living organisms that is connected with the influence of this radiation on living cells. ERS is a workshop of sound-visual techniques and practical series of experiments, which consist in detection, amplification, sonic and visual analysis of hidden physical fields – Participants do not need any previous experience with Supercollider i Pure Data (or Max/MSP). Good advanced techniques are very easy. Continue reading
We are pleased to present The Bafomet’s Star, a performance by artist and mathematician Robert B. Lisek. The project uses different kinds of electromagnetic spectrum, in particular the emission of radiation through the use of radioactive materials such as Thorium for creation of real randomness states. The performance has a character of a ritual, which recombines the ceremony of “Babalon working”, first presented in London in 1910 by a famous British occultist Aleister Crowley, and subsequently conducted by Jack Parsons – a scientist and founder of rocket Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1946 in Los Angeles.

Harvestworks announces its three-tier Processing ONLINE Intensive for the Fall/Winter Semester. Over a span of 13 weeks, join the tens of thousands who use the open source Processing language to create their own visual arts, and immerse yourself in our Visual Instruments / VJing (Oct-Nov), Computer Vision (Dec) and Generative Art (Jan/Feb) courses. These classes are held online, means that anyone – and in any timezone – can take it and make it work with their schedule. There are no mandatory days to be available, as long as you are able to keep up with the new material each week. Continue reading
MERAKI is a responsive environment with live performance. Interactive wires are attached to 4 spatialized speakers and human body capacitance is therefore used to trigger alterations on sound and image. Live guitar, melodica, voice and midi controllers are used to create a sonic atmosphere that floods the space with a large range of sonic impulses. Continue reading
