expr~ from 0xA is GOSUB10‘s fourth release

expr~ is the first music release of 0xA, consists of retro sounding tracks made almost entirely with the [expr~] object in Pure Data. No tweaking of number boxes and sliders, no clever generative algorithms, just switch the audio on and listen.

The source code for this release (implemented in Pure-Data) is free software distributable under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 3 or greater). For repository, see: http://gitorious.org/0xa

Copyleft: This is a free work, you can copy, distribute, and modify it under the terms of the Free Art License.

Released on 3rd April 2011.

Track listing:

1. 0xA – Winter_solstice
2. 0xA – 0903-4
3. 0xA – NandSynth
4. 0xA – Moving_souf
5. 0xA – Cafe_Kuroshio
6. 0xA – Family_Mart

Dedicated to innovative music and audio/visuals, the GOSUB10 label will feature an eclectic group of musicians drawn together by their shared use of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS). Freely distributed by stream, download and special DVD releases, and made available through an open license, GOSUB10 is run by the GOTO10 collective – an international group of artists, musicians and programmers, dedicated to FLOSS and digital arts. Brought to life in a intensive four day work sprint but years in the making, the GOSUB10 netlabel is a natural extension of GOTO10′s activities supporting and promoting digital art alongside FLOSS tools through workshops, festivals, exhibitions, writing, and more.

Dorothé Depeauw (Belgium) and Simon Yuill (Scotland) were invited to give a lecture about the amazing performance/installation artwork behind Kaleidoscope/objscrs at make art 2010.

A controlling and repression instrument is transformed into a game and expression tool.
A written user manual is transformed into a funny physical game. “le Jeu des Jeux” is a production of the ! Co LAPse KoDe project held by a collective of artists from Belgium, Scotland and Brazil. It is a creation in the form of an ongoing game around the use of surveillance cameras and a motion tracking free software that records and analyzes the behaviors and in which performers, audience, objects, movements, sounds and images come together as agents with equal rights. In this interactive participative production, the audience can be an actor if he/she’d like to. His/her participation can have an influence on the game itself.

Collective !CoLAPseKoDe
Formed by Dorothée Depeauw, Simon Yuill, Kirsty Stansfield, An Mertens, Matthias Koole and Liselot Jansen from Belgium, Scotland and Brazil, the collective was created during a improvisation workshop by the American cellist Tristan Honsinger. Thus came the idea to extend the multidisciplinary improvisation research with the use of software OBJSCRS, that was in its first basic version at that moment. Simon Yuill got involved with the project and a first performance was planned through the extension of the software. This first generation was Kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope became a collaborative installation-performance. The creative process and the performance of Kaleidoscope brought many questions, answers and opened up many possibilities. To explore these questions, the !CoLAPseKoDe was formed. The group wishes to continue its researches with the free software for motion tracking, OBJSCRS, which allows the interpretation of movements of bodies and objects through real-time images, using, different types of sensor zones and a surveillance camera. The fundamental idea is to transform a repressive tool (surveillance camera) into a creative one. Through workshops for experimentation with the software, with the participation of local artists (programmers, musicians, dancers, and anyone interested).

Un instrument de contrôle et de répression est transformé en outil de jeu et d’expression.
Un manuel d’utilisation écrit est transformé en un jeu physique amusant. “
Le Jeu des Jeux” est une production du projet ! Co LAPse KoDe porté par un collectif d’artistes belge, écossais et brésilien. C’est une création sous forme de jeu continu autour de l’utilisation de caméras de surveillance et d’un logiciel libre de motion tracking qui enregistre et analyse les comportements et dans laquelle les performeurs, le public, les objets, les mouvements, les sons et les images se retrouvent comme des agents avec des droits égaux. 
Dans cette production interactive-participative, le public est aussi acteur s’il le souhaite et sa participation peut influencer le cours du jeu.


We’re glad to invite Jérôme Abel to give a workshop in the framework of the “Figures of Interactivity” Biennial.

“Copy-pasting… combining the collective imagination”
Emancipation and drifts around the tools for art.

The aim of the workshop is to build an hybrid, digital artwork prototype based on copy-pasting.
Reusing existing works is the rule in free and open source environment. Datas, libraries of functions, memory locations, can all be transported, altered, recorded. Besides the assembly is a very effective method for learning techniques as it’s based on experience. Starting from various sources of information (files, artworks, sensors, etc..) that will feed our algorithms, our program will be shaped connection by connection.
The students will be familiarized with the graphical programming environment Pure Data, along with Unix commands and networking protocols.

The workshop is taught by Jérôme Abel, member of the artist collective Impala Utopia.

When? 25, 26 and 27 November 2010, 9:30-17:30
Where? EESI, Poitiers (France)
Entrance: free
Language: French
Registration: please send us an email with a few lines explaining your motivations to attend the workshop

“Copier-coller… assembler l’imagination collective”
Emancipation et dérives autour des outils informatiques dans l’art.

L’objectif de l’atelier est de concevoir un prototype d’oeuvre numérique hybride basé sur le copier-coller.
En environnement libre et open source, la réutilisation de travaux existants est la règle. Les données, les bibliothèques de fonctions, les emplacements mémoires, sont tous susceptibles d’être transportés, modifiés, enregistrés. De plus, le montage est une méthode très efficace pour l’apprentissage des techniques, car basé sur l’expérience. Nous partirons de différentes sources d’informations (fichiers, oeuvres artistiques, capteurs, etc.), pour nourrir nos algorithmes, et de connexions en connexions tisser notre programme.
Pour cela, nous nous familiariserons avec l’environnement de programmation graphique Pure Data, couplé aux commandes Unix et aux protocoles réseau.

L’atelier est conduit par Jérôme Abel, membre du collectif d’artistes Impala Utopia.
