An example of a figurative L-system
with:
Stephanie Pan and Stelios Manousakis did a performance based on E.E. Cummings' NOISE and L-Systems. NOISE is a sonic poem only published after Cummings' death, which focusses on the phonemic quality of words. L-Systems is a generative algorithm made to imitate growth. Using these two things as a starting point, Stelios and Stephanie did a controlled improvisation using voice and electronics, aiming to elaborate on Cummings' merging of the senses.
Stelios Manousakis gave a lecture on L-Systems. L-systems are a set of to imitate life and growth, originally formulated by the botanist and biologist A. Lindemayer. Stelios showed some examples of applications of L-systems in music programmed in max/MSP.
Stephanie Pan encouraged everybody to participate in her origami workshop. Origami is the art of paper folding, originating from Japan.
Marije ten Brink presented the CI (Curriculum Illusione). The CI is the is opposite of the CV (Curriculum Vitae). Whereas the CV looks back on life, CI looks back from your time of death to the moment in which you wrote your CI. You can put your CI into Walhalla, where you can find other CI-ers with similar plans and interests.
Debra Solomon/culiblog.org explained the concept behind her Micro Green Cuisine.
Costs for the dinner: 10 euros.
If you don't want to eat, entrance is free.
