algoravin in the UK
A short trip around the UK for slub over the last couple of days, a livecoding gig in London at Bartlett Nexus in UCL at an event concerning architecture, games and hand made technology. A full video of the event (with us at the end) is here. Also collected along the way, a photo of…

Al Jazari 2 re-arranger robot program
Onboard a robot, who is following a sequence of instructions (in the spirit of the original Al Jazari), to pick up, carry and drops blocks in order to re-organise it’s environment. Halfway through we switch to a robot which is running code that makes it player controllable, so we can look around. This is all…

Al Jazari 2 – minecraft meets fluxus
Some screenshots of the in-progress next generation Al Jazari livecoding world. This is a voxel rendered world, inspired in part by Minecraft but with an emphasis on coding robots in scheme bricks who construct artefacts from the materials around them. The robot language is still to be designed, but will probably resemble Scratch. You can…

slub at /* vivo */
My last /* vivo */ Mexico post, some data from our livecoding performance on the final day. This was one of those performances where we had a rough plan and got a bit too carried away by the crowd to follow it (I guess one of the great things about improvisation!). Also to a great…

Mexican livecoding style
At only around 2 years old, the Mexican livecoding scene is pretty advanced. Here are images of (I think) all of the performances at /*vivo*/ (Simposio Internacional de Música y Código 2012) in Mexico City, which included lots of processing, fluxus, pure data and ATMEL processor bithop along with supercollider and plenty of non-digital techniques…

Livecoding at Mozilla Fest
A very friendly Mozilla festival gig! (source) Beware of the TOPLAP gang:

scheme bricks 2
A new version of scheme bricks is under way, planned to be tested out with slub on the Mozilla Fest Party, then taken across the Atlantic for some more livecoding action in Mexico City! New things include blocks with depth – cosmetic for the moment, but I plan to prototype some new ideas based on…

Touchscreen programming
As more and more people use touchscreens, it still irks me that we lack good ways of programming “on” devices reliant on them (i.e. native feeling – rather than modified text editors). As a result they seem designed entirely around consumption of software (see also the “The coming war on general-purpose computing”). So lets make…

Livenotations gig at Arnolfini – The hair of the horse
Thanks to Farrows Creative we have some great photos of the livenotations performance with Alex McLean, Hester Reeve and me at the Arnolfini a few weeks ago. This was a completely unrehearsed combination of Hester Reeve’s live art and slub’s live coding. A score was made from rocks and stones, using their position and also…

Cyclic score sketching for livecoding
Live coding in cyclic time, while making the process of sketching, painting and general mark making as much part of the musical performance as the coding is. This is a prototype for “The Hair of the Horse”, a performance with Alex McLean and Hester Reeve as part of Live Notation at the Arnofini on Friday…
