1. Troubadours & Troublemakers: Stirring the Network in Transmission & Anti-Transmission

   Presented as part of an ELO 2014 conference panel session, "Troubadours of Information: Aesthetic Experiments in Sonification and Sound Technology," led by Andrew Klobucar. In his work, Trouble Songs: A Musicological Poetics, Johnson literally tracks the ways the word “trouble” passes through popular 20th and 21st century song, and the ways trouble is and is not represented via the Trouble Song. For Johnson, there is both a transmission and an anti-transmission of trouble in Trouble Songs: The singer performs an exorcism of trouble, or contributes to a discourse of authenticity with an audience of trouble voyeurs. (These are distinct but related processes, as the trouble singer can relate trouble from outside the community, and can as well—or instead—relate to the troubles of a community; likewise, the trouble singer can reflect, deflect or project trouble.) Trouble itself appears here simultaneously desired and feared, invited and expelled. “Trouble” replaces trouble as a protective spell, as a fetish, and as a generic signifier. The Trouble Song is cast as a spell that evokes and dispels trouble.

2. Tales from the Towpath

   Tales from the Towpath is an immersive story inspired by Manchester’s waterways and their ecological fate. It spans the Victorian city to an uncertain future 50 years from now. Three characters circle one another across time, with fragments of their stories found in geocaches (past), live performance (present) and augmented reality Zappar codes (future).

3. Not Not 0.1

   How do we perform ourselves in digital space? In Not Not 0.1, Catherine Siller uses her own custom software and a motion capture camera to generate projected text and images of herself. She immerses herself in these projections and dances between the virtual and the real in a duet with her digital double. The piece destabilizes language and gesture as it repeatedly redraws the boundary between the physical and the digital self.

4. Separation

   Le projet La Séparation réunit des artistes (du groupe ALIS et du collectif I-Trace), des enseignants-chercheurs et des élèves-ingénieurs (de l'Université de Technologie de Compiègne) autour de "la poésie à 2 mi-mots", inventée par Pierre Fourny. La "poésie à 2 mi-mots" s'attache d'abord à l'aspect visuel des mots et se fonde sur "la police coupable", police de caractères permettant de couper les mots en deux horizontalement et d'associer la moitié obtenue à une autre moitié pour former un nouveau mot. Très vite, Pierre Fourny a fait développer un logiciel (le combinALISons), lui offrant la possibilité de trouver un nombre de combinaisons impossibles à saisir par un cerveau humain moyen, formé à la lecture dite "rapide et silencieuse". Bientôt, la "police de l'ombre" allait également voir le jour (grâce au logiciel), révélant la présence de mots contenus dans d'autres. Aujourd'hui, une "centrale police" s'impose également. La "poésie à 2 mi-mots" est désormais une pratique éprouvée regroupant différents procédés qui permettent de jouer d'une manière originale, sur scène et au-delà, avec la forme des mots.
