A demonstration of techniques related to the algorithmic production of electronic noises and a discussion of the computer as an aesthetic model of cognition and culture.
"Live coding is not about tools. Algorithms are thoughts. Chainsaws are tools." -- the TOPLAP manifesto. I'm gonna present work and explain techniques related to miniature computer programs that beatbox, speak nonsense, and sing off key. I'll also discuss some ongoing "research" into stuff like linguistics, artificial intelligence, and cultural studies, and the way these disciplines inform my interpretation of live coding work.

WTF:
What is a "dorkbot"?! The idea of the international dorkbot network is "people doing strange things with electricity" and meeting in informal, friendly environments to discuss their projects. These projects could include hardware hacks, New Media Art projects, creative code, circuit bent musical instruments or wild DIY garage science!
