Live Stage: dance html [
NYC]
Ursula Endlicher invites you to dance html with her and Nancy Agabian, Robert Appelton, Laura Meyers on Saturday. Join them in Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited #1 - www.yahoo.com :: April 5, 2008; 5:30 pm :: Performance Mix Festival at LMCC’s Swing Space, Seaport, New York (210 Front Street corner Beekman).
Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited (2006-2008) is a live performance series, which utilizes Web code as choreography. In these performances Endlicher embodies the “character” of a Website - this time she has a cast of performers joining her! - and performs its html code, which is fed in from the Web “on the fly”. During each of the performances the source code of the website is immediately translated into ongoing movement instructions, representing different html tags. These instructions derive from the html-movement-library, an online database of user-submitted movement suggestions, and from other parts of the html language. The sound accompanying the performance is another translation of the code - it is interpreted as a musical score. The audience on location is invited to participate in the html dance.
