DEFRAGMENTAR explores the embodiment of live coding scores using cheap virtual reality interfaces. In a world where the audiovisual industry consumes 60% of an exponentially growing internet traffic, can we use small scores to distribute live-coding creations?
The proposal uses ""scores"" that are attached to different objects in the scene like colored cardboards, plants, or an old computer with a printer. Using a low-cost ""cardboard VR"" headset, these audio-visual code snippets enter the shared VR experience when the performer looks at them. The code will change with the gestures, noises, lights and other elements in scene, changing what we see and hear. In this approximation to VR from live-coding we wonder how to navigate the tension between desire and the increasing complexity and noise.
The software developed to enable live-coding Virtual Reality in hydra, and score scanning will be shared as Hydra extensions under free licenses. | About the artist: |

Ámbar Tenorio-Fornés (they/she/he) is a researcher and free software developer. Their PhD studied decentralized governance tools for communities. As a live-coder, they play as TACHA~, creating noises, visuals, and poetry, and sharing live-coding as a simple and fun way to play music to support diversity in the scene. They also dance in Performing Gender, and have performed in international festivals and venues such as IN-SONORA, Norrlandsoperan, and Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid among others. tacha.glitch.me |
