Aymeric Mansoux
Aymeric Mansoux (FR) is an artist and musician, member of the GOTO10 collective. His main artistic and research interests revolve around online communities, software as a medium and the influence of FLOSS in the development and understanding of digital art. His most recent projects and collaborations include the 0xA band with Chun Lee, the digital artlife Metabiosis project with Marloes de Valk and the pure:dyne GNU/Linux live distribution for media artists. Aymeric is editor of the FLOSS+Art book, scheduled for release mid 2008, as well as Folly’s Digital Artists’ Handbook that was launched early 2008

Chun Lee
Chun Lee (TW) is a sound artist currently based in London (UK). With a background in classical music, he became increasingly drawn into contemporary music and electronic arts. His discovery of Free Software led him to base his work on Pure Data – a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. Chun is now actively involved in the use and development of Pd. He is also an active member of GOTO10 and Openlab - two international collaborations of digital artists. Chun has appeared in a number of places - from academic conferences, to festivals, local meetings/presentations, gigs and squat parties.

0xA, live electronic music performance
Mansoux and Lee started 0xA in 2005 and their collaboration has grown into both musical research and the development of new musical interfaces for live performance. Using virtual instruments and their own algorithmic processes, they sculpt sound in real-time, looking for new electronic spectra and waveforms. Lee and Mansoux are using a diverse toolkit for their performance, including Pure Data, an open source artistic software originally dedicated to real-time audio synthesis. In this environment, they work on algorithmic processes to produce different sound modules, effects and sequencers that are connected to each other via a network reflecting their remote collaboration. The performance draws upon many genres from surreal electronics and abstract ambient to early electro and kitsch synth-pop, chiptune, recalling Stockhausen, Throbbing Gristle, Kraftwerk and Nobukazu Takemura, as well as the broken beats and lo-fi glitches of modern dance music.
