The Social Network for Innovators in Motion
A workshop interfacing real-time composition, procedural choreography, creative technologies, networked systems and emergent dramaturgies
meta_creation lab is a collaborative space to creatively explore the relationship between improvisational/real -time performance practices, computation and networked collaborative creativity.
meta_creation lab is an open space for exploration of the use of procedural strategies as dramaturgic games to dynamically activate the spaces with rule systems that are executed in the moment of performance (generativity).
meta-creation lab investigates bottom-up architectures for performance as design and dramaturgic strategies to develop "rhizomatic" spaces for non-linear dramaturgies.
meta_creation lab investigates and develops participatory systems as performance games combining computational and hybrid (human/machine) instructions used as "scores" or generative algorithms.
meta_creation lab develops spaces as a cognitive system where the performance composition emerge.
meta_creation lab explores the relationship between aspects of contemporary internet culture and experimental performance practices and its aesthetics such as: open source source software and choreography, gaming, sampling and recombination, data flows, mashups and remix culture.
meta_creation lab explores the embodied/distributed cognition approach to frame physical activities and movement games (scores).
meta_creation lab explores the dramaturgic potential of ubiquitous networks, data flows, post-PC technology and real time interaction.
meta_creation lab explores the constraints and affordances of new performance methodologies and conditions derived from our embeddedness in socio-technological discourses and systems.
meta_creation lab presents contemporary relevant artists and their propositions to illustrate, generate dialogue and prompt creative activities.
meta_creation lab intersects contemporary design and performance approaches/practices exploring the dynamic couplings of mind, body, action, information/data flows, real-time composition games/scores, as a hybrid UNSTABLELANDSCAPE*
UNSTABLELANSCAPE
There will be a final performance installation called: UNSTABLELANDSCAPE
This workshop ends with a durational open showing as an installation/ performance where the space is activated by participants and visitors following the same scores and games. All participants and visitors are given the score in writing.
The space can be left as an installation for a longer time and may be activated by the visitors following the score created during te workshop.
Oriented to:
This workshop is oriented to any movement artists and media professionals who want to explore interdisciplinary collaboration and real time media networked/generative technologies:
dancers, choreographers, visual artist, musician, media artists, performance artists, architects, cultural managers, journalist, writers, etc.
It also works as a contemporary introduction to movement practices and new media
This is a collaborative creation workshop and some instruction on specific software or applications are offered as modules based on interest.
