2021-10-13
/talks/feedback-in-livecoding-cui-bono/
Understanding the sometimes tricky relationship between understanding & enjoyment in various traditional and new cultural practices. An interactive lecture/workshop given to the [3A Institute](https://3ainstitute.cecs.anu.edu.au) masters program.

(I assume you've done the [pre-reading/watching]({% link _posts/2021-09-13-feedback-in-livecoding-cui-bono.md %}))

the central problem of laptop performance

what do you think oldmate is doing?

what does cybernetics say?

control & communication in the (livecoding) animal and the machine

what are the flows of information (control & communication)?

and for whose benefit (cui bono)?

{% include slides/background-image.html image="images/talks/socy-masters-lecture-workshop-2021/ben-ushini-acmc21-frame.jpg" %}

in watching the video, what did you pay attention to, and why?

what information was missing; what else did you want to know before/during/after?

(5min breakout rooms)

hint: later, you'll get to have your say about how these flows could be improved

set design, which is sometimes referred to as scenic design, refers to the design and creation of the sets used in works of performance art (source)

pitch time---what's your vision for my (and Ushini's) livecoding performance setup?

(10min breakout rooms, then 10min shareback)

some questions to ponder?

  • what sensory modalities (sound/visuals/etc) can you use?
  • what do K-pop stars/comedians/twitch streamers/DJs/etc. do well?
  • what feedback should the performer get?
  • what information should be hidden?
  • what's the goal? what state should the system steer towards, and how?
  • where are the feedback loops?

remember: it's a pitch... you've gotta sell it (with theory!)

1--2 min per group

what's next?

it's a genuine open question for me (and other livecoders) in their creative practice

if you'd like to help/collaborate/jam, let me know 😊
