Jesse Gilbert exploring transdisciplinary arts and culture

interaXis

Website: http://turbulence.org/Works/interaxis/
Made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

interaXis is an investigation into the possibilities of improvisation, form, and presentation in multi-site, network-based performance. A group of accomplished composer-improvisers and technologists coming together to create a dynamic, structured, experimental sonic exploration on the web and in real space.

I conceived interaXis as a way to merge several strands of inquiry in a single project.  Chief among these were: creating strategies for presenting multi-location performances online and in a live concert setting; using real-time audio spatialization in each performance space to clarify the local/remote relationships between performers; and the use of graphical, symbolic scores to coordinate structured improvisation.
