Living pseudographics is the duo of Adel Faure on the visual side and Ralt144MI on the sound side.
Their live-coded performances explore the theme of technological archiving, weaving intricate rhythmic patterns with animated text-mode art-based visuals. They create a narrative through glitchy collages of plunderphonics and text-based graphics. Creating hybrid electronic music that recalls the sounds of video games, IDM, or techno, always with an experimental electroacoustic twist.
The performance is about making a show out of a real-time shared data dispositive between two live coders, one making sound, the other making visuals using the same stream. Both improvising and adapting their output reciprocally, almost like a regular improv group, but between humans and computers (and maybe more goofy somehow).
During the show, poetry and code evolve through the succession of the tracks, spreading across the screen a little reflective story about how our machines and AI serve us more as a mask to hide our own lack of humanity, rather than a hypothetical improvement to our society.
We are willing to show how code can be considered as an artistic gesture and how a laptop can be used as a live instrument that offers its own way of producing spectacle and gesture.
