Our collaboration with Experimental Intermedia continues with our eighth ZOOM IN: OLAP (Online Live Art Performance) community discussion forum. For this event we have invited The Seals.
Date: January 30th, 2022
The Seals, an AI-inspired electronic noise band, is the collective effort of Ria Rajan, Sophia Sun, Susie Green, Sofy Yuditskaya, Margaret Schedel, and augmented by the S.E.A.L. (Synthetic Erudition Assist Lattice), our AI counterparts that assist us in creating usable content with which to mold and shape our music and visuals. A detailed paper on our process can be read at nime2021.org/program/#/paper/190. Our music came about during the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns across the globe. We individually created content with which to compile songs as a Networked Ensemble. This created a bed track for our Live Performances online using various tech stacks through which we improvise while incorporating Creative AI assisted visuals.
About OLAP
ZOOM IN: OLAP, a collaborative initiative by Harvestworks and Experimental Intermedia, was conceived by Katherine Liberovskaya and Carol Parkinson in the winter of 2021 in response to all the proliferating on-line artistic initiatives brought on by the pandemic. Its objective continues to be to reflect on the aesthetic and technical dimensions of live streaming and to share knowledge among the participants. The meetings feature guest practitioners from different artistic fields (music, live visuals, performance, dance, theater) who speak about their approaches and experiments with online performance (sound, video, conferencing, streaming software, aesthetic and organizational approaches), followed by Q&A. The forum is also open to hearing about new ideas and projects that are in development as well as technical and/or conceptual concerns from the participants.
As the ever-increasing online live streaming events are starting to seem more and more all the same and are holding our attention less and less, we feel that it is crucial to unpack and re-think the online presentation of live online art practices and to imagine new approaches that are far better suited for the virtual performance stage that we experience on such a variety of platforms (computers, laptops, pads, phones) that have nothing to do with the in-person venues where they would usually take place.
