SFPC Performance Night

School for Poetic Computationis an artist run school in New York that was founded in 2013. A small group of students and faculty work closely to explore the intersections of code, design, hardware and theory — focusing especially on artistic intervention. It’s a hybrid of a school, residency and research group.Our motto is:more poetry, less demo

She is an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU&#x27;s Interactive Telecommunications Program, where she earned her master&#x27;s degree in 2008.Cori Kresge is a NYC based dance artist, teacher, bodyworker, and writer. She currently performs and collaborates with multiple artists for stage and film and is a featured dancer in the Cunningham 3D film by Alla Kovgan. She teaches movement classes and workshops regularly at SFPC and Gibney Dance Studios. KoalaTokki is an audio-visual performance group consisting of the group&#x27;s co-founders, Yeseul Song and Michael Simpson. KoalaTokki use live-coding as a fundamental part of their creative collaboration and in their performances the duo use of a collaborative live-coding system making this transparent to the audience.Christo Allegra creates artwork at the intersection of information design, dynamic media, and narrative spaces. Allegra writes code within the Processing framework and other technologies to create data driven and generative art.Susie Fu I am a Chinese-American new media Artist-Engineer based in New York. I use my dual identities in opposition and collaboration. I observe humanness on the extreme ends of the scale: intimately individual, and collectively uniform. I explore the subjective self through manufactured mirages and performances. I use non-human automation to reflect and summarize the collective. Phil Schleihauf (they/them) is a queer artist, facilitator, and recovering software developer, thinking about how to challenge cultural narratives that touch their own experience. Their work is a means of introspection and an invitation to others, using sound, light, and electronic hardware, to meditate on human perception and connection.Algorave is made from “sounds wholly or predominantly characterized by the emission of a succession of repetitive conditionals“. These days just about all electronic music is made using software, but with artificial barriers between the people creating the software algorithms and the people making the music. Using systems built for creating algorithmic music and visuals, such as IXI Lang, puredata, Max/MSP, SuperCollider, Extempore, Fluxus, TidalCycles, Gibber, Sonic Pi, FoxDot and Cyril these barriers are broken down, and musicians are able to compose and work live with their music as algorithms. This has good and bad sides, but a different approach leads to interesting places. Algoraves embrace the alien sounds of raves from the past and introduce alien, futuristic rhythms and beats made through strange, algorithm-aided processes. It’s up to the good people on the dancefloor to help the musicians make sense of this and do the real creative work in making a great party.Promo visual by Nitcha TothongMade with support of <a href="https://www.artechouse.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ARTECHOUSE</a>
