MFF 2010 & SHARE BRU: Connected Cities

Networked A/V Performances

"Connected Cities" features Joint Broadcasting Events that happen simultanously and interactively across the borders. For the opening of the Ars Electronica Festival, the cities of Brussels, Liverpool, Helsinki, Berlin, Budapest and Madrid will join forces and present two live broadcasted audio-visual performances.

In Brussels we will couple this event to an open air SHARE BRU session where you are invited to join for an A/V jam in iMAL's courtyard.

No Copy Paste - Live Coding Performance

Kitchen Budapest will present "No Copy Paste", a performance where participants generate real time music and visuals, using live coding.  This process emphasises the expressive possibilities of programming languages used as artistic tools. The Live Coding Performance will take place simultaneously in all participating MFF Europe 2010 cities. In Brussels, Chantal Goret will code sounds and visuals on his old Commodore 64.
