Intro to ISadora
A 1 hour introduction to Isadora 4 with a focus on use for creating immersive live sound and video performance as well as integrating live / interactive data sources such as motion, sensor and robotics either locally or via remote networks. It offers the ability to create technically complex work that easily usable in improvisational and devised performance contexts.
Icreate 3 Demonstration
OSC PIBOT demonstration: the OSC PIBOT toolkit is designed so that an artist without a robotics background can easily choreograph movements, sound and light across multiple robots using Isadora or Max-MSP. The version demonstrated will be for the iCreate 3 robot with added on lighting / video.
OSC PIBOT is a combination of a control panel and software toolkit to allow performer friendly OSC based control of ICreate SDK and ROS2 based robotics platforms, alongside a live editable Clojure based script to sequence complex behaviors. It was created for the Dream Club Lab project and the University of Sussex Center for Research in Opera's AI Perform initiative. https://github.com/thirtysevennorth/OSC_PIBOT
Ian Winters is a media and video artist making works for gallery, site-specific projection / light works, as well live performance staged work. Often collaborating with composers, directors, and choreographers, he creates both staged and site-specific visual and acoustic media environments internationally. His work with noted ensembles and directors in performance, and in more traditional video and visual work, has been supported by the Creative Work Fund, the Rainin Foundation, Zellerbach Family Foundation, Djerassi, and EMPAC, among many others. He maintains an active worldwide teaching practice, leading workshops in live media and the integration of sensors, physical performance and site-based pieces. He studied video and performance at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, followed by training in dance / physical theater, and architecture. He is also the co-curator of MilkBar with Mary Armentrout.
