PASIPHAE: OUT OF THE LABYRINTH

An Expanded Media Performance

featuring the Computational Poetics Research Group

 

Noon to 1 p.m. 

Wednesday, April 25, 2007

Calit2 Auditorium, UCI

Free admission

 

"Pasiphae: Out of the Labyrinth" is an expanded media performance of
live music and visuals featuring the Computational Poetics group and
their digitally-enhanced instruments: Kenneth Newby (5 string violin and
electronics and video software), Martin Gotfrit (guitars and
electronics) and Aleksandra Dulic (real-time animation/video). The
performance is an imaginative exploration of the story of Pasiphae drawn
from Greek mythology, in which the god Poseidon punishes Queen Pasiphae
by making her erotically attracted to a bull. With the help of
innovative technology developed by Daedalus, she mates with the bull and
gives birth to the Minotaur.

 

The Computational Poetics Research Group, from Simon Fraser University
in Vancouver, is developing a body of media performance techniques for
the live performance of animation, music and sound design. Their work is
resulting in the emergence of intelligent instruments for situated media
that support the exploration of cultural encodings and the skilled
performing body in the context of technologically expanded performances.
