the NIME06 conference that happens at IRCAM this year has officially started this morning.

We had very exciting and animated discussions during this workshop.

here are some picture I've taken before the battery of my camera went empty.


Scott Delahunta and Frederic Bevilacqua introducing the workshop.


Antonio Camurri


Marc Downie talking about his work with Trisha Brown using his own application framework called fluid

He told that Fluid (Java + Python) should be released (escaped?) in october under a "militant" GPL license.

this Sunday (4th of June) I will be speaking in the Choregraphic Computations workshop with Myriam Gourfink about our work on This is my house just before the opening of the NIME06 conference.

several talented speakers from this field will be there:
Scott deLahunta (Writing Research Associates, NL)
Frédéric Bevilacqua (Researcher, IRCAM, F)
Marc Downie (Artist and Researcher, OpenEndedGroup, USA)
Antonio Camurri (Professor, InfoMUS lab, University of Genoa, I)
Mark Coniglio (Composer/Media Artist, Troika Ranch C°, USA)

This is my house the dance performance by Myriam Gourfink I've been working on is playing this week at centre pompidou in Paris, nearby IRCAM.

Large room

Welcomed at the Centre Pompidou in 2001 with L'écarlate and in 2004 with Contraindre, the choreographer Myriam Gourfink presents This is my house, a piece for five dancers in which the choreography is created by computer software that generates sound and movement in real time.

I was in genova for the eyesweb week which was very interresting.
And among other things I discovered that there is now an eyesweb community web forum at http://eyw.free.fr/ where people can share news, experience, patches, C++ code for the eyw blocks, tips and tricks and links toward new media resources.

Please go visit it http://eyw.free.fr/
