it Is this Thursday that has the beginning of the New Art Fest, an international festival of art post-Internet, mixing art, science and technology, reflecting the current juxtaposition of universes, digital and material, with the use of interactive installations, projections, audiovisual, or exhibitions of augmented reality art and generative. With the artistic direction of artist and producer António Cerveira Pinto and organization of the Ocupart – Art in spaces unlikely –, will be in Lisbon until the 10th of November, bringing together 40 artists.
At the National Museum of Natural History, opening this Thursday, will be patent artistic projects materials Carlos Noronha Feio, EACH, Miguel Palma, Leonel Moura or Eva and Franco Mattes, and the projections of audio and video Lynn Hershman Leeson, John Klima or Eileen Yaghoobian. There will also be a circuit of digital art through the historic center (in windows of shops of the Chiado as the Diesel, the Vista Alegre, the Factory Features, the Perfumes & the Company, or the Bookstore Sá da Costa), seminars, a display of artistic augmented reality experience or a performance of live coding with music in real time in the Market of Ribeira.
This performance will take place on Friday, 21h30, with the colombian Alexandra Cárdenas and the English Ryan Kirkbride. In the same is going to be produced music in real time through the use of programming environments in computer science that describe patterns of music, at the same time that are handled samples and sounds digitized. "The live coding is a practical, performative recent, which has its origins 15 years ago", she says on the phone from Berlin, where he resides, songwriter, programmer, and performer Alexandra Cárdenas, which has focused in the exploration of the musicality of the code and the behavior of algorithmic music. "For many years, program, and operate in real time were different practices, but now with fast computers and efficient programs it is possible to, let’s say, programming a computer live."
she Began by studying classical guitar at the age of 15. Then, progressively, was discovering contemporary composers of the tradition to electroacoustic. "I discovered that it was more composer than interpreter, especially when I think in terms of classical music," he says, analyzing his discovery of electroacoustic music and the revolution that was in his teenage years begin the process sounds digitally and in more recent years the Live Coding, which allows programming, improvise, or to assimilate the error, turning it into the".
One of the elements that likes to manipulate in their performances is the sound concrete of the cities. Says that the City of Mexico, where he lived, it is totally different from Tokyo, where he was recently, or Berlin, where it inhabits. "Each city has its specificities audible. The greater part of those that I know from South America is very different from the Europe that, in principle, turn out to be more ordered within a certain disorder." Along the conversation one realizes that likes to put in perspective the reality, not stopping to question.
"The live coding is a new paradigm, a creativity technique, which places in question the concepts of operation that we tend to give as acquired. What is an artist or a composer? Someone who studied at the conservatory for years? Or you can be an architect, a designer, or a computer that creates sounds? Provenho of the community in classical music, which can be very snob. They are the elite. You know what is supposed to be music. Now to me I question all this to know," laughs she.
In the limit interested in questioning the relationship between art and science, between man and machine, from the music. "The machines are one thing recent in human history and we still have difficulties coping with them," he says, trying to put things in perspective. "Whenever a new machine appears, the temptation is to be afraid of it. It happened with the phone or the computer. We are afraid of the unknown and essentially afraid of how the technology can work as a mirror. The technology shows who we are – is an extension of us. And we are not always prepared to see things that we don’t want to see."
