Joey Carr at dorkbot Chicago on Thursday March 31 at 7pm
A demonstration of techniques related to the algorithmic production of
electronic noises and a discussion of the computer as an aesthetic
model of cognition and culture.
"Live coding is not about tools. Algorithms are thoughts. Chainsaws
are tools." – the TOPLAP manifesto. I'm gonna present work and
explain techniques related to miniature computer programs that
beatbox, speak nonsense, and sing off key. I'll also discuss some
ongoing "research" into stuff like linguistics, artificial
intelligence, and cultural studies, and the way these disciplines
inform my interpretation of live coding work.

WTF:
What is a "dorkbot"?! The idea of the international dorkbot network is
"people doing strange things with electricity" and meeting in
informal, friendly environments to discuss their projects. These
projects could include hardware hacks, New Media Art projects,
creative code, circuit bent musical instruments or wild DIY garage
science!
