Entry: Free

Symposium and performances

The Live Notation Unit (LNU) takes over the Arnolfini for a day using
its spaces as an experimental laboratory in which to combine two
radical performance practices: Live Art and Live Coding.

The LNU will approach programming as performance art, performance art
notation as code, code as speech, bodies as interpreters, and more.

On the menu are improvisational sound works (where computer code and
the artists' bodies become instruments), site-specific time based art
works (where notation becomes the 'piece' as opposed to its recording
device) and a series of position papers proposing what the LNU's new
term "live notation" might signify.

Bringing together Sam Aaron, Geoff Cox, Yuen Fong Ling, Dave
Griffiths, Alex McLean, Brigid Mcleer, Thor Magnusson, Click Nilson,
Hester Reeve, Kate Sicchio, Andre Stitt, Maria X, and Matthew
Yee-King.
