Quartz Composer is a visual programming environment designed for creating interactive video and graphics in a real-time environment that can interact with external inputs. It is particularly useful for experimenting with interactive video art and live performances.

XX+XY visuals (and sound art project) are Rome, Italy based multimedia duo of Sladzana Bogeska and Giuseppe Pradella. Collaborate and perform together since 2006.
In 2012 they released their first audio-video work on DVD: "Luma", an extremely slow transforming abstraction that alludes to landscape topologies andpsycophysiographical terrains. In the same year, they are involved with the audiovisual piece "Matter States" in "Störung: Sound & Visual Art " DVD released by the spanish label Störung. In 2013 present their latest audio visual work "Zenith".
