The 8th annual Piksel festival for Electronic Art and Technological Freedom is in full swing, lots of stuff going on with live performances, exhibitions, workshops, and presentations.
At 15:00 on Sunday 21st November 2010 at Studio USF, Bergen, Norway I'll be giving a presentation on the art and tech behind my project RDEX - covering aesthetics of higher dimensions, emergent behaviour, GPU programming for audio-visuals, using databases for image similarity, and so on.
RDEX (reaction-diffusion explorer) is an installation and performance piece that explores in an autonomous hyperspace mathematical model, searching for interesting emergent behaviour (life-alike, alife).
At 21:00 Sunday 21st November 2010 at Studio USF, Bergen, Norway is a night of live performances. RDEX for live audio-visual performance has a sequencer to choose 4D parameter points from the database, with the resulting evolving patterns converted to sound using a variant of wave-terrain synthesis.
