Pure:dyne Code Sprint- GOTO10

9th to 15th of August

(This event is not open to public)

The collective of artists GOTO10 will meet in LABoral this summer for an intense week of coding in support of the Pure:dyne project, which is underway at this very moment. Pure:dyne is a GNU/Linux operating system developed by and for artists that offers a complete set of tools for processing audio and video in real time, making it an ideal work platform. Developed by the GOTO10 collective in collaboration with a community of users, Pure:dyne includes the tools most frequently employed by digital artists, all in a coherently integrated format: Pure Data, Supercollider, Icecast, Csound, Fluxus, Processing, Arduino, amongst others. Used by artists, media
labs and universities, Pure:dyne is a powerfult instrument and a network structured for artistic production through the use of FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software).
The ‘code sprint’ series gathers together the members of the GOTO10 collective of creators to work for seven days, developing new functions and systems. Sharing the same work and living space for a time, isolated from all possible distraction, is the intense but usual working method of FLOSS projects. It gives the volunteer collaborators - including those participating online - a sustained energetic lift.
The discoveries and advances made by the Pure:dyne team and Asturian creators are to be made available and become a permanent part of the Platform 2 Multimedia Production Centre.

Erre que Erre + Román Torre:AVATAR*

Presentation on September 4

Avatar* is about investigasting and interacting. It is a body in movement together with the interactive device Lifefloor (beta) , at the same time working on improvements and new algorithmic applications for movement in an autonomous and interactive space. It also includes the visualisation and interaction of data in real time (position, beat, localisation, etc.) and the option to apply them in other ways, such as, for example, the creation-realisation of live music, or many other autonomous effects in real time. Avatar* is a section of floor, the only space in which the virtual events of the show will take place. As a reference, one can think of it as a large rectangular touch screen. Avatar* as a dance solo in which the dancer is in constant dialogue with the software and is responsible for the different pre-programmed narrative events that are activated by his or her movements, posture and different gestures. These are detected by means of of a camera that constantly send information of the dancer's position to the computer, which is charged with the task of processing the data and sending it back in real time to the scenic space.
