[ISEA2015] Paper: Jessica Rodríguez & Rolando Rodríguez – LiveCode Readings: Algorithms viewed as text

Abstract (Long paper)

Keywords: LiveCoding, Digital, Visual, Music, Receiver, Image, New Text.

As new ways to represent text/image in unison with other arts, LiveCoding sessions have been one of the contemporary options where the union of music, visuals, algorithms and science get together to make a community experience. The live programming performances where the music or visual result is part of a whole experience that join with the programming algorithms to build a new layer of text that can be experienced not just as a process but as a narrative by itself. The Sound result can be perceived not as an audio performance but as the relationship with the algorithms that create not just a series of instructions but a visual and abstract representation of what you heard combining images to create and share a process.

  • Jessica Rodríguez (México) studied Visual Arts at the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo in Morelia, Michoacán. Cofounder of Andamio, a collaboration project. She has participated in several Festivals giving talks about her work and thesis investigation. She, with Andamio has been doing distance collaboration projects with La Ratonera in Chile and La Santa in Ecuador. Now she is working at CMMAS (Mexican Center for Music and
    Sonic Arts) in design and video production. Also she is nowadays investigating the role of technology in the Latin-American productions, installations and performances that uses various forms of programming codes to create different kind of interactions in their pieces.
  • Rolando Rodríguez Guízar (México) studied Education and Communication and right now he is studying his Master in Contemporary Art at the University of Arts in Aguascaliente, México. Co-founder of Andamio, a collaboration project. For a long time he’s been writing and promoting cultural events, as well as, producing his own artistic pieces. He’s won several writing contests in México, and making a lot of presentations about what he does. Lately, Andamio was selected to make a presentation, a workshop, two researches and chat at the Image Festival in Manizales, Colombia. This month we made a presentation on line at the UVM in Brazil, and next august, we will present our researching results about our
    writing called: LiveCoding, algorithms viewed as a text.
