Algorithms As Scores: Coding Live Music</h4>
<p class="mainText">ABSTRACT: Author Thor Magnusson discusses live coding as a new path in the evolution of the musical score. Live-coding practice accentuates the score, and while it is the perfect vehicle for the performance of algorithmic music it also transforms the compositional process itself into a live event. As a continuation of 20th-century artistic developments of the musical score, live-coding systems often embrace graphical elements and language syntaxes foreign to standard programming languages. The author presents live coding as a highly technologized artistic practice, shedding light on how non-linearity, play and generativity will become prominent in future creative media productions. <strong>This article is available for free download from the MIT Press web site.</strong> <a href="http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/LMJ_a_00056">Find out more</a></p>
<h3>Opportunities and Community Announcements</h3>
<h4>Spaces of Life: The Art of Sonya Rapoport</h4>
<p class="mainText"><img src="http://www.leonardo.info/images/Rapoport_Elements_150.jpg" align="left" border="0">Exhibition curated by Terri Cohn and Anuradha Vikram, 18 January‒11 March 2012, at Mills College Art Museum, Oakland, CA, U.S.A. Opening reception on 18 January 2012, 6:00‒8:00 P.M. The art of Sonya Rapoport has long operated as a bridge between the public sphere of intellectual curiosity and scholarship and the domestic one of spiritual inquiry and nurturing. Spaces of Life presents a group of Rapoport's interactive works, created between 1980 and 2011, that function in the intersection between questioning and inviting. The installation is structured so as to infuse the spaces of the museum with the energy of the artist's Berkeley home and studio. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/classads.html">Find out more</a></p>
