Abstract
Memorias is a web-based artistic project by Jessica Rodríguez developed through the Estuary platform —an online platform to host live coding languages. It is based in six autobiographical writings connected to the way she “hears”, “writes”, “watches”, “reads”, “sees” and “listens” to the word. Through these texts, six code works were designed and programmed, hybridizing natural and computing languages by parsing three existing live coding languages: Tidal Cycles, Punctual, and CineCer0.
Together, Memorias’ languages collide different materialities as well as visual and sonic approaches, going from voices in English, Spanish, Cello and Paetzold samples, audio and visual synthesis, and pre-recorded video clips. This project explores how speech and literature — in its written form— can be used as interfaces that allow the performer to communicate both, with the computer and the audience. Additionally, speech —in its sonic form— is moved through space and time, expanding the possibilities of spoken literature by producing unlimited variations of the “original” autobiographical writings. Within the space/time of the piece, the audience can experience different ways, textures and logics to approach visual and sound through the use of language as a memory trigger.
For this conference, Memorias is be presented as an online collaborative performance by andamio.in, including Jessica Rodríguez, Rolando Rodríguez, Alejandro Brianza, and Luis M. Zirate.

Bio
Andamio.in is a collaboration project where producers with different formations are found. The sound is the base element that ramified in different applications: within the body, textures and visuals. The sound image has a rhythm that assembles with the live or recorded reading, with live or pre-produced and manipulated visual images, with the textures that are added to each project.
Jessica Rodríguez (Mexico-Canada). Visual/Audio artist, designer and researcher. Currently doing a Ph.D. in Communication, New Media and Cultural Studies at McMaster University in Canada. Her practice focuses on audiovisual practices, and live coding to produce a language for live visual music.
Rolando Rodríguez (Mexico). He has a Master in Contemporary Arts and currently studying a Master in Pedagogy. His work focuses on the exploration of three elements: image, text and sound. It has research and production projects that use analog and digital technologies as tools to explore expanded possibilities through text.
Alejandro Brianza (Argentina). Composer, researcher and teacher. Has a Master in Methodology of Scientific Research. He teaches at the University of Salvador and the National University of Lanús, where is also part of researches related to sound technology, electronic music and contemporary languages.
Luis M. Guzmán (Mexico). He has an Arts Bachelor's degree. He works in developing collaborative and trans-disciplinary projects with musicians and programmers focusing on open source concepts. Concerned by the implications of creativity and programming in activism and social development spheres.
