New GOSUB10 release by 0xA

Marco Donnarumma — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 18:44:32 +0000

expr~ from 0xA is GOSUB10′s fourth release.

0xA is a band made not out of people, but objects and patches. Snippets of codes that bleep and blink are added and modified in the online repository, where it all began. As the repository grows, 0xA evolves with it. Aymeric Mansoux, Chun Lee and Olivier Laruelle are the current active contributors. They have performed 0xA across Europe, North America and Asia in galleries, clubs and festivals.

expr~ is the first music release of 0xA, consists of retro sounding tracks made almost entirely with the [expr~] object in Pure Data. No tweaking of number boxes and sliders, no clever generative algorithms, just switch the audio on and listen.

The source code for this release (implemented in Pure-data) is free software distributable under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 3 or greater). For repository, see: http://gitorious.org/0xa

Copyleft: This is a free work, you can copy, distribute, and modify it under the terms of the Free Art License.

Released on 10th October 2010.

== WHATIS GOSUB10 ==

Marco Donnarumma — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:27:59 +0000

Forwarded message by Aymeric Mansoux via Piksel list

Hi everyone, Some of us will work online the 1st and 2nd of February to put the final bits of the Gazpacho release that was cooked during the Puredyne Sprint hosted at [ space ] (http://www.spacestudios.org.uk) some time ago.

We will be hanging out in #puredyne at irc.gosub10.org (irc.goto10.org, irc.giss.tv, irc.servus.at, irc.leplacard.org will work too).

We welcome any help in this final stage, from writing docs to fixing bugs and cleaning the issue tracker, or whatever else we might have forgotten to do. It’s also the last chance for you to request or help improve some features before things get frozen for this new release.
See you on Tuesday

Naked on Pluto, Multiplayer Text Adventure Game on Facebook

Marco Donnarumma — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 19:01:11 +0000

via Rhizome Announce

Multiplayer Text Adventure Game on Facebook

“You are 4.3 billion kilometres away from the nearest human, what would you like to do?”

Naked on Pluto is a Multiplayer Text Adventure Game on Facebook. You wake up on Pluto, in a city under the rule of Elastic Versailles revision 14, a corrupted Artificial Intelligence and former entertainment colony. It used to be the Las Vegas of the Solar System, a true paradise for consumers and corporations alike. Until something snapped… What happened and how to escape?

Versailles is a capital of convenience, a non stop 24hr zone of endless pleasure, provided by Pluto’s huge entertainment corporations. Amuse yourself and your friends for hours on end collecting meaningless tokens, talking to our bland robots, or simply relax and take in the staggering conformity of your new home. Take absolutely no notice of the areas you aren’t allowed to go into, even if it were possible to break out of the zone around the Palace, why would you possibly want to – or indeed why change the core structures of this world when they have been so excellently taylored to fit your every desire?

The game explores the limits and nature of social networks from within, slowly pushing the boundaries of what is tolerated by the companies that own them, carefully documenting this process as we go. Story and play are combined with an investigation on how exposed we are on social networks, and how our data are being used.

Naked on Pluto is developed during a shared residency at NIMk, BALTAN Laboraties and Piksel, between June and November 2010, by Dave Griffiths, Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk. The project is licensed Copyleft.

The research and development process is documented and can be followed on http://pluto.kuri.mu and http://facebook.com/is.so.convenient

The game can be played on http://naked-on-pluto.net

Naked on Pluto is also part of the international touring exhibition Funware now on show until January 16, 2011 at MU Eindhoven.

Claudius Maximus z→z²+c released on GOSUB10 netlabel

Marco Donnarumma — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:40:54 +0000

via Pd announce list

Claudius Maximus’s latest work made with Pure-data is available, including the source code so you can make your own generative fractal music:

http://gosub10.org/GOSUB10-003.html

The Mandelbrot set is possibly the world’s most famous fractal. z→z²+c is a series of sonifications, focussing on the periodic attractors found almost everywhere within the Mandelbrot set. Given just two real numbers (forming one point in the complex plane), dynamic patterns can emerge as the one simple equation governing the system is repeated over and over: z→z²+c

The source code for this release (implemented in Pure-data using GridFlow and zexy) is free software distributable under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 3 or greater).

Copyleft: This is a free work, you can copy, distribute, and modify it under the terms of the Free Art License.

Released on 17th October 2010.

Track listing:

1. ClaudiusMaximus – The Military-Industrial Complex
2. ClaudiusMaximus – After The Despoilment
3. ClaudiusMaximus – Race Against Time
4. ClaudiusMaximus – Before Civilisation

Dedicated to innovative music and audio/visuals, the GOSUB10 label will feature an eclectic group of musicians drawn together by their shared use of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS).

New Book: FLOSS+Art

Marco Donnarumma — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 10:02:11 +0000

via: [Pd Announce] Mailing list

Few days ago i received this mail from the incredible efficient, collaborative and stimulating PureData mailing list.
What to say… again another stunning initiative of the FLOSS community. A book analyzing many important issues of FLOSS (Free Open Source Software) and Art.
Don’t know what about you, but i was dreaming about something like this…

thanks to all the contributors…

WHAT:

What does Free and Open Source software (FLOSS) provide to artists and designers – beyond just free alternatives to established tools from Photoshop to Final Cut?
“FLOSS+Art” is the first book to answer this question. It shows how the value of Free Software lies in its differences and creative challenges, as opposed to out-of-the-box and off-the-shelf solutions; how it allows to work and collaborate differently with computers, and therefore enable different kinds of art and design.

The Internet – whose infrastructure is based on free software and open standards – is an obvious example of such an adaptable, collaborative artistic medium. “FLOSS+Art” also covers more traditional artistic domains such as graphic and audiovisual design, and how they shift from customer-centric to community-driven work.

FLOSS+Art critically reflects on the growing relationship between Free Software philosophy, open content and digital art. It provides first-hand insight into its social, political and economic myths and realities.

With contributions by: Fabianne Balvedi, Florian Cramer, Sher Doruff, Nancy Mauro Flude, Olga Goriunova, Dave Griffiths, Ross Harley, Martin Howse, Shahee Ilyas, Ricardo Lafuente, Ivan Monroy Lopez, Thor Magnusson, Alex McLean, Rob Myers, Alejandra Maria Perez Nuñez, Eleonora Oreggia, oRx-qX, Julien Ottavi, Michael van Schaik, Femke Snelting, Pedro Soler, Hans Christoph Steiner, Prodromos Tsiavos, Simon Yuill.
Compiled and edited by Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk.

With the support of the University of Huddersfield and the Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam University.
