Musings of a Digital Brain

CSS is morphing into it's new audiovisual guise.
Feel free to drop in at iMal, I perform at the | Internet Disorders | event organized by Parisian digitalists RYBN.



It's in the compound as OKNO, so Koolmijnenkaai 34, 1080 Brussels.

I've been porting CSS to Pure Data, an open source software package. I'll be trying it out at Triptik, Maison de la Creation Laeken the 20th of november.

I performed the first outcome of my new piece Catatonic State Society at Upgrade!International, Chain Reaction. I'm building simulations with software agents to perform with, primitive as they are, a bit like populating the city models I'm looking into and what I hope will soon also be part of the Shifting Metropolis Workshop. This little text describes it:

In the Catatonic State Society, all members live in a state of reduced consciousness. Saccading their heads on spastic pulses or just in plain inertia, they seem indifferent to perception. These rythmical units do interact however, they behave in surprising ways towards one another. They move in and out of sync, form complex superstructures to shift from texture to crystalline structures, rythmic pulses and back again.

But better yet, and slightly more down to earth, this is what it sounds like: CatatonicStateSociety.
A bit rough, especialy playing outside, but great fun too.

Also had a great impro-session with Skopje electronic musician Alexander Nikov and played on alternative Channel 103.
In short, it was great : )

I'm taking part in this upgrade international event. I'm doing the workshop Shi fting Metropolis with Annemie Maes and Shalbatra Jashari and doing the first Ca tatonic State Society performance.

Together with the theatre piece Shift(unrelated besides the new media parlance) this causes me to have a pretty nasty schedule.
More info soon (or a bit later) and on the sites of line and upgrade.net
