MediaLive: Exploring Live Audiovisual Arts

MEDIALIVE brings together artists who explore forms of live audiovisual performance. The very notion of what it means for a work to be live, the interplay between modes of perception such as sight and sound, and the entanglement of human interaction with technology all come into focus as artists investigate the elasticity of form and content, bridging the analog and digital realms.

This three-day festival presents a variety of approaches, discusses the technology and underlying theoretical, formal and conceptual considerations, and offers opportunities to explore live media tools first-hand.

2012 WORKSHOPS
Panel Discussion – Live Media: Real Time, Real Space?
MediaLive artists present their different perspectives and approaches, mixing narrative with abstraction, novel technology with nostalgic references, and generative processes with instrumental virtuosity. Each artist explores the interface as more than a means to control or manipulate the substance of the performance, acknowledging it as a potential site of meaning, sometimes rooted in tradition, sometimes in ironic self-reflection.

Building Custom Audiovisual Instruments:
Processing the Danger Shield
DIY gurus SparkFun Electronics lead a workshop on using the Danger Shield and an Arduino UNO to create a hands-on controller for media performance. Each participant receives a discount code for SparkFun merchandise and a take-home manual.

Media Manipulation with Max
Media manipulation with Max software workshop with Darwin Grosse, Chief Learning Officer at Cycling ’74. Learn how to use the hardware controller you built in the morning to tweak live video.
