CAS Talk: Mark Coniglio - Co-creator of Isadora
Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2016, 18:00 - 20:00
Venue: Interact Labs, Phoenix, Leicester
Recognized as a pioneering force in the integration of dance and media, composer/media artist Mark Coniglio creates large-scale performance works that integrate music, dance, theater and interactive media. A native of Nebraska, Mark received his degree in music composition in 1989 from California Institute of the Arts where he studied with electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick. From that early time, Coniglio's artistic practice has included the creation of custom interactive systems that allow performers to manipulate video, sound, and light in real-time. His first technological breakthrough came in 1989 when he created MidiDancer, a wireless system that allowed a performer to interactively control music. His passion for giving control to the performer led him to create the award-winning software Isadora®, a flexible graphic programming environment that provides interactive control over digital media. Mark's writings about new media in performance have appeared in numerous books and journals, including "New Visions In Performance", "La Scena Digitale: Nuovi Media Per La Danza" and Movement Research Journal. He relocated from New York to Berlin, Germany in 2008.
This event is part of a new series of Practice Based Research Computer Arts Society talks curated by the Institute of Creative Technologies, De Montfort University as part of their Practice Based Research doctoral programme.
