Cummings by Stephanie Pan and Stelios Manousakis. Tehe CI project was presented by Marije ten Brink and the micro-green cuisine by Debra Solomon.</p> <p>Stephanie Pan and Stelios Manousakis' performance was based on E.E. Cummings' <em>NOISE</em> and L-Systems. <em>NOISE</em> is a sonic poem only published after Cummings' death, which was focused 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.</p> <p><span class="inline-image-wrapper ui_animateFigureCaption"><a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13182/en/origami-workshop"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/747/13182-400-300.jpg" height="300" width="400" alt="" title="Origami workshop" playable="1"/> </a><span class="caption-inline"><span class="title"><a title="Click to get a larger image - Origami workshop - Mediamatic.net" href="/13182/en/origami-workshop">Origami workshop</a></span></span></span></p> <p>Stelios Manousakis gave a lecture on <em>L-Systems</em>.

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.</p> <p>Debra Solomon/culiblog.org explained the concept behind her Micro Green Cuisine.</p> - 4.90982 52.3758 ARTEFACT event salon 1
