MEMORIAS

Jessica Rodriguez

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

MEMORIAS is an artistic project by Jessica A. Rodríguez that unfolded in six esolangs for audio-visual creation drawing from Live Coding and Electronic Literature practices. The languages are based on six short autobiographical texts and have a hybridized syntax using natural and computational languages. MEMORIAS explores literary/textual materialities, as well as different audio-visual modalities; mixing voices, Cello and Paetzold samples, sonic and visual syntheses, and pre-recorded video clips. This project explores how speech — in its written mode — can be used as an interface that allows the interpreter to communicate with the computer and the audience. In parallel, speech — in its sonic mode — expands the possibilities of spoken literature producing limitless variations of the "original" autobiographical stories. During the live performance, the user activates audio-visual languages through the evaluation of written speech (esolangs).
