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.

Afternoon: Présentations from Antoine Moreau, Aymeric Mansoux, Enrike Hurtado, Daltex, as well as works from the students.
Evening: performances from Aymeric Mansoux, Enrike Hurtado, Anne Laforet + Daltatron session with Daltex.

• vendredi 22 janvier
Morning: roundtable with Florian Cramer, Anne Laforêt, Daltex
Noon: Potlach Feast with the «cabas noir» Part II
Afternoon: Programming crash course with Enrike Hurtado + improvised discussions, hacking, writing and drawing.

Workshop with Enrike Hurtado:

Crash course on programing. How to gain control of computers. Computers are pervasive in nowadays world. They are present in almost all moments of our lives, catching a train, sending an email, reading a newspaper… However, the design and production of those systems is controlled mostly by engineers. Thanks to modern programming languages and free software this is not so true any more. Any person
with some reasonable effort and cheap hardware can learn programming and therefore have its say on this. From the perspective of an artist/musician/creator, gaining control of the tools we use or at least understanding how they are built, gives us another perspective on the politics, ethics (and esthetics) implied by them.

In this crash course we will be exposed to tools, ideas and processes used on this field from a practical point of view. We will write small computers programs that communicate different computers in the network, we will control basic graphics, sound and video. We will get content from the internet such as images or data from websites and use it in our applications.
