Lovelace's legacy: Creative algorithmic interventions for live performance

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference Proceeding (Non-Journal item)

Abstract

We describe a series of informal exercises in which we have put algorithms in the hands of human performers in order to encourage a human creative response to mathematical and algorithmic input. These 'interventions' include a web-based app, experiments in physical space using Arduinos, and algorithmic augmentation of a keyboard.
