Hello,
Some of you have seen the egregore performance by chdh during the last pd convention, or during other occasion. http://www.chdh.net/egregore We are now planning to distribute the patch that we used for this performance and we are searching for people that can test the patches.
If you're interested in helping us testing this project before the official release, please write us off list. Joined is a brief description of the project,
Thanks, Cyrille & Nicolas -- ÉGRÉGORE Egrégore is originally an audiovisual performance realized in 2011 that exploits the group movement phenomenas. Complex and expressive behaviors are generated and controlled by a computer and transcribed in sound and image. A crowd of particles deploys itself, reorganizes, blends into living structures more or less coherent, evolving from a chaotic movement towards a cohesive group.
ÉGRÉGORE - SOURCE Egregore - source is an edition that aims to archive and document the performance: all the elements in égrégore - optimized for a standard personal computer - are supplied: the instrument created for the performance, the software that enabled the creation of the performance and a document of usage, all under a free license and with source code. A digital version is freely downloadable on the P2P networks and a usb key with all this data will as well be available.
DISTRIBUTED PERFORMANCE This instrument will be played live remotely by chdh the XX.XX.2014. The distribution of the code allows to use this "physical" dispersion as a new performance vector. The different personal computers used to decode the contents of the key, geographically distributed around the world, united to each other by internet constitute the "stage" where takes place this new representation of égrégore. This event allows all, thanks to the distributed software, to connect at the same moment, to meet and to attend a new version of the performance.
