Description

An Algorave performance lockdown style, transmitted live from the UK,
with visuals from Antonio Roberts (aka hellocatfood) and music from Alex
McLean (aka yaxu), all live coded. All code will be shared live, as
it's created and manipulated, for your pleasure!

Alex (@yaxu) explores algorithmic pattern, both in music as co-founder of
Algorave and the TOPLAP live coding movement, and in textiles as
researcher of ancient Greek weave structures. He has performed widely
with his handmade livecoding systems since the year 2000, including at
Sonar, Bluedot, Shambala, Transmediale and Glastonbury festivals. He is
active across the digital arts as researcher and practitioner,
organising hundreds of events including Sheffield's ""AlgoMech"" festival
of algorithmic and mechanical movement. He created the popular free/open
source TidalCycles environment for algorithmic pattern, now adopted by a
worldwide community. He is also an active researcher, holding a PhD in
Arts and Computational Technology with Goldsmiths, and currently working
as part of the Research Institute of the History of Science and
Technology, Deutsches Museum Munich.

hellocatfood is the alias of Antonio Roberts, an artist and curator
based in Birmingham, UK. For his live performances he uses software
including Pure Data to explore the creative potential of algorithms,
glitches, and feedback loops. He has provided visuals for the likes of
MTV, Com Truise, Blood Sport, Steve Davis, Renick Bell and My Panda
Shall Fly and at events including SXSW, Supersonic Festival, Barbican,
Green Man festival and more.
