2nd Year Performances

There have been several public performances within the second year of the MEGA project to meet the practical reality with the different applications. The purpose has been mainly:

a) to connect technical devices,
b) to test different innovations for artistic set-up,
c) to try out real-time analysis and synthesis in music (including singing voice) and movement (including dance)
d) to have responses from both the artists and the audiences
e) to introduce innovative techniques and methods in the cultural field, in an educative way

The events are ranging from small demonstrations to big public concerts. The advantages with smaller events refers to a more close interaction between artists, visitors, spectators, and researchers, whereas the bigger public events are more apt for public evaluations, for instance having questionnaires distributed to the audience.

Here follows a list of the main public events during the second year of MEGA:
