_____-micro research [berlin]" in collaboration with "Institute of Algorhythmics" presents:
“/mode +v noise” is a project from GOTO10, an international collective
of artists and computer programmers, dedicated to FLOSS and digital
arts. It is based on IRC, the oldest text-based Internet chat
environment. The project intervenes in the fabric of the IRC environment
and exploits its native tools and protocols, and, similar to livecoding,
explores the use of text as a interface for making music. By chatting to
'bots' (scripts or programmes that connect to the IRC channel and appear
as users) in various phrases, filling the screen with ASCII patterns,
users can simultaneously make music.
/mode +v uses IRC Python bots communicating with Pure Data and
SuperCollider audio synthesis applications via OSC (Open Sound Control)
to create an interactive multi participant music composition/performance
environment on the chat server. This chat environment can be logged into
and used/played by remote participants as well as local participants
with the results monitored on an Icecast radio station and projected
live in an installation environment.
