Alo Allik (Estonia/UK). I have a musically and geographically restless lifestyle which has taken me through diverse creative environments half way around the northern hemisphere, including eclectic DJ sets, live electronic jams, electroacoustic composition, free improv and multimedia performances all over the US and Europe. I have been hooked on SuperCollider for over 10 years and I am currently working on my Ph.D. in the UK. http://tehis.net

f(x) 

is an audiovisual exploration of 3-dimensional continuous cellular automata. During the performance, the behavior of the automata world is affected in real time to reveal complex and organic patterns in audio and visuals, that are conceptually and physically independent from each other.

I will discuss the conceptual and algorithmic structure of the audiovisual performance environment - f(x) - which will be presented in concert at Ausland on Friday, September 24th. The performance environment is based on the concept of three-dimensional continuous-valued cellular automata and this presentation seeks to reveal the basic principles of mapping sound and visual synthesis parameters during the performance.
