1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Have you ever imagined yourself as, I don't know, a kind of maestro,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
conducting not just musicians but an entire environment, think about it,

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
likes responding to your gestures, sounds changing with how the audience moves,

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
visuals shifting in real time, all interconnected, reacting seamlessly,

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
or maybe creating an art installation that doesn't just sit there,

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
one that kind of breathes, learns and changes based on who's interacting with it?

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
It's a fascinating idea, right? Before we dive into that amazing world,

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
just want to mention that this deep dive is brought to you by Safe Server.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,510
Safe Server takes care of hosting innovative software like the very thing we're

10
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:37,000
discussing today,

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
and they support your digital transformation. You can find out more at www.safeserver.de.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Okay, so today we are taking a deep dive into something called Us-A-Score.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
It's described as an interactive sequencer specifically for the intermediate arts.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
We've got some great source material here from GitHub and osia.out,

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
and our mission really is to unpack this powerful tool.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,190
We want to understand not just what it is, but why it seems to be such a game

17
00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:03,000
changer for artists, developers, creators.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,220
And maybe most importantly, how someone new to all this, someone just starting with

19
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:09,000
interactive art,

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
can actually get started with it without feeling totally overwhelmed.

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Yeah, it's a really interesting piece of software.

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,760
What's quite fascinating is how Osia.Score manages to bridge so many traditionally

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,000
separate creative areas,

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
you know, different technical protocols, different artistic disciplines.

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:34,610
It brings them into one coherent design for both, like, precision control and

26
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:36,000
imaginative freedom.

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Okay, let's unpack that a bit then.

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
The sources call Osia.Score a free, open-source, cross-platform, intermediate sequencer.

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Wow, that's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it?

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,500
And honestly, for someone just dipping their toes into interactive arts, that might

31
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:51,000
sound pretty intimidating.

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So let's start right at the beginning.

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,680
What exactly does intermediate sequencer mean for someone who's maybe just curious

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,000
about getting started?

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
That's a great question, and it's really key to understanding what Osia.Score is

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,000
all about.

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Let's break it down.

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So, when we talk about intermediate, we mean combining different types of media.

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,200
You know, traditionally, an artist might work just with sound or just video or

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,000
lighting, perhaps physical devices, often separately.

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,900
Intermediate means bringing all of these together, sound, video, light, graphics,

42
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:24,970
even sensor data, physical interactions, getting them to work together as one

43
00:02:24,970 --> 00:02:26,000
unified piece.

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Okay, so multiple media types cooperating.

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,920
Exactly. Think of it like a big collaboration where every element can potentially

46
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,000
influence the others.

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,320
And a sequencer, well, in this context, it's basically a tool for arranging events

48
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,000
over time.

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,150
Much like, say, a musical score lays out notes and timing, OCS score lets you

50
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:48,000
arrange actions, effects, and responses across all these different media types.

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,770
So its main purpose is really to help you create these truly interactive shows or

52
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:54,000
installations.

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,250
It does this by sequencing, organizing essentially data from a huge range of

54
00:02:58,250 --> 00:02:59,000
sources.

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,150
We're talking OSC, MIDI, DMX signals, sound files, video streams, and it routes

56
00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:10,000
that data between different software applications and hardware devices.

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,260
Right. And the free and open source part, that's also super important. It means

58
00:03:14,260 --> 00:03:17,000
anyone can access it, which removes a huge barrier, right?

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Definitely. And the community can actually help it evolve.

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,180
Plus, it's incredibly compatible, runs on desktops, mobiles, web browsers, even

61
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:28,870
tiny machines like the Raspberry Pi Zero 2. So it's flexible for all sorts of

62
00:03:28,870 --> 00:03:30,000
project sizes.

63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,050
Okay. So if I'm getting this right, it's not just about playing back something you

64
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:37,000
recorded earlier. It's more like a central brain, maybe.

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,440
A conductor for a whole multi-sensory performance or installation that lets you

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,000
bring together almost anything, digital or physical.

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
You've nailed it. That's the core idea.

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,390
And the fact that it's open source and runs everywhere, that really democratizes

69
00:03:51,390 --> 00:03:55,000
access to this kind of advanced interactive stuff, doesn't it?

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
That feels like a big shift from traditional creative software, maybe.

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,610
It really is. It's designed to be that central hub, making it much, much easier to

72
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:06,410
manage what would otherwise be incredibly complex interactions between separate

73
00:04:06,410 --> 00:04:07,000
systems.

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,510
It lets creators focus more on the artistic vision rather than getting totally bogged

75
00:04:11,510 --> 00:04:14,000
down in the individual technical hurdles.

76
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,570
Right. Okay, here's where, for me, it starts to get really interesting, maybe even

77
00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:22,000
a bit mind-bending when you think about the possibilities.

78
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,890
Our sources list this just impressive array of things OCScore can sequence and

79
00:04:27,890 --> 00:04:29,000
connect with.

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,320
It's clearly way more than just a fancy media player. What are we actually talking

81
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,000
about here?

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
What are its full capabilities for bringing these interactive ideas to life?

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Yeah, it goes way beyond simple playback. Although, I should say, it handles audio

84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,000
and video playback really well.

85
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,780
Supports most audio formats, multi-channel for immersive sound, and high-performance

86
00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:53,000
video like H.264 and HAPP, which is vital for smooth visuals.

87
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,670
But it's real strength. That lies in its massive connectivity. It's built to be the

88
00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:59,000
control center for a huge network.

89
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Think of it like this. It speaks loads of different digital languages.

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,680
It can send and receive signals using OSC Open Sound Control. That's a modern

91
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,000
protocol used a lot in music and media for really flexible high-res control.

92
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,490
Then there's MIDI, the classic standard for instruments in DAWs, and DMX, which is

93
00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:21,000
the main protocol for controlling stage lighting and effects.

94
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
So right there, you've got sound, music, and light covered.

95
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Right, the core performance elements.

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,420
Exactly. But then it keeps going. It can talk over HTTP, the web protocol, so it

97
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:33,000
can trigger web services or interact with web enabled devices.

98
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,140
It can use a serial port to talk to things like Arduinos opening up custom

99
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:37,000
electronics.

100
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Oh, interesting.

101
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,970
And for the whole Internet of Things world, it handles lightweight protocols like

102
00:05:42,970 --> 00:05:44,000
CoAP and MQTT.

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
So you could integrate smart home devices or custom IoT sensors into your piece.

104
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,050
You can even connect to Bluetooth low energy BLE sensors like the ones in wearables

105
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:56,000
or small portable gadgets.

106
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Wow, okay. That's a lot of connection types.

107
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
It is. And this broad support means you can integrate common input devices easily,

108
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
joysticks, Nintendo Wiimotes for user control,

109
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,170
and even advanced gestural controllers like Leak Motion, which tracks your hand and

110
00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:11,000
finger movements in 3D space.

111
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Leak Motion, yeah, I've seen that.

112
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
And for visuals, it integrates smoothly with tools like Spout, Siphon, and NDI.

113
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,830
These are key for sharing video in real time between different apps on a computer

114
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:23,000
or across a network.

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
So you can manipulate visuals live.

116
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Precisely. Allows for really dynamic visual effects.

117
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000
It also supports Shim data and Shesh4Alt for shared memory video.

118
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,130
And get this, for people working with big data sets, it can even sonify or

119
00:06:36,130 --> 00:06:40,000
visualize info from CSV files or HDF5 files.

120
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
That's HDF5, the hierarchical data format used for massive complex data sets.

121
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Sonify data. That's wild.

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Yeah. And what's really powerful for interactive shows are what the sources call

123
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
its advanced interaction facilities.

124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,350
You can set up conditions, trigger parts of your score based on external input

125
00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:59,000
sensors, audience actions, hardware controls.

126
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
You can even visually create branching scores.

127
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
So the whole performance path can change dynamically based on these conditions.

128
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
It allows for truly nonlinear responsive experiences.

129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Wow. Okay, seriously. Just imagine the creative possibilities there.

130
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
I mean you could have, say, a dancer-specific movement picked up by Elite Motion.

131
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,170
And that movement could instantly trigger a unique sound effect and simultaneously

132
00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:23,000
change the stage lights via DMX.

133
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,330
Right. And maybe even kick off some complex visual projection using NDI, all

134
00:07:27,330 --> 00:07:30,000
orchestrated perfectly within OCEA score.

135
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,090
The sheer breadth of technologies it pulls together into one system is, well, it's

136
00:07:34,090 --> 00:07:35,000
phenomenal.

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,900
What stands out most to you about how it manages to connect all these seemingly

138
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:40,000
separate things?

139
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
It sounds like it genuinely removes huge technical roadblocks for artists.

140
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,890
Well, what really jumps out isn't just the number of protocols, it's the depth of

141
00:07:47,890 --> 00:07:49,000
the integration.

142
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,240
It's not just a surface-level connection. It seems to allow really fine-grained

143
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,000
control over each system.

144
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,440
This creates this unified ecosystem where all these different digital and physical

145
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,000
elements can not only talk to each other,

146
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
but actually influence each other in really complex ways.

147
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
It genuinely empowers artists, I think, to think beyond traditional media boxes and

148
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,000
create experiences

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
where technology feels like an invisible extension of their artistic idea.

150
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Okay. Building on that idea of empowerment.

151
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
The source has mentioned quite a bit that OC Score is scriptable and open software.

152
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,360
Now, for someone listening, maybe an artist who isn't necessarily a hardcore

153
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,000
programmer,

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
what does that openness really mean for them?

155
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Does scriptable imply you need to be a coding wizard to do anything cool?

156
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Or is there a gentler path for people just starting out?

157
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
That's a really crucial point, and it's actually surprisingly accessible.

158
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,660
The whole scriptable thing doesn't mean you have to be a procoder right from the

159
00:08:41,660 --> 00:08:42,000
start.

160
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
That's a common worry.

161
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
OC Score seems designed with multiple layers of interaction,

162
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
so you can kind of choose your own level of complexity as you learn and grow.

163
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Okay. How does that work?

164
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Well, for instance, for really quick control or dynamic mappings,

165
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
you can literally write simple math expressions directly in the score.

166
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
This lets you link, say, a sensor input straight to an output,

167
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000
like a knob making a light brighter, just using basic arithmetic.

168
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
No complex coding needed for that.

169
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Oh, okay. That sounds manageable.

170
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Yeah. Then, as you get more comfortable,

171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
you can start to live code with JavaScript directly in the score,

172
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
which is fantastic for creating more advanced logic or custom behaviors

173
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
right inside the OC environment.

174
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And for audio folks, you can create blazing fast audio processors with Faust,

175
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
which is this powerful language specifically for high-performance sound stuff.

176
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And then, yeah, if you are a seasoned programmer,

177
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
the option's there to extend any part of the software through the C++ API,

178
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000
so you can build custom features or integrate new hardware at the deepest level.

179
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So it scales with you.

180
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Exactly. This layered approach means you don't hit a wall as your ideas get bigger.

181
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
It scales with your skills.

182
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And beyond its internal scripting,

183
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
it plays really nicely with popular creative coding environments.

184
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,080
Many artists already use things like MaxMSP, Pure Data, Open Frameworks, Processing,

185
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,000
ASSL Viewer.

186
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Right, the usual suspects.

187
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,510
Yeah. You can connect using standard OSC or the more advanced OSC query for dynamic

188
00:10:09,510 --> 00:10:10,000
discovery,

189
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000
or even integrate its core library, Labossia, directly.

190
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,420
This means you can leverage projects or tools you already know from those

191
00:10:17,420 --> 00:10:18,000
environments

192
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
and just weave them into your OSC score project seamlessly.

193
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
That's smart.

194
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,270
And one more really powerful thing. It offers this flexible, mixed modular and

195
00:10:28,270 --> 00:10:30,000
timeline workflow.

196
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
You can actually switch between timeline and nodal view at any point.

197
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Oh, there's a difference there.

198
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,550
Well, the timeline view is great for linear sequences, arranging a song, fixed

199
00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:39,000
video playback, that kind of thing.

200
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,190
But the nodal view lets you create state machine-like scores for a temporal

201
00:10:44,190 --> 00:10:45,000
scenarios,

202
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,370
which basically means your interactive piece doesn't have to follow a strict

203
00:10:47,370 --> 00:10:48,000
straight line.

204
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
It can react, branch off, loop, jump around based on conditions,

205
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,270
making really dynamic nonlinear interactive projects not just possible, but

206
00:10:57,270 --> 00:10:59,000
actually quite intuitive to build.

207
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
That flexibility is key.

208
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,270
It allows for both simple controlled sequences and those highly complex, maybe

209
00:11:05,270 --> 00:11:07,000
unpredictable reactive systems.

210
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
So summing that up for the creator, then.

211
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,950
It sounds like whether you just want to control a couple of devices with fairly

212
00:11:14,950 --> 00:11:16,000
simple rules

213
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,600
or you're aiming to build a super complex reactive system that responds in really

214
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,000
subtle ways,

215
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
OSIS score kind of adapts to what you need and what your skill level is.

216
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
It sounds like a tool that genuinely grows with you from just messing around

217
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
initially to creating really sophisticated work.

218
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,400
That layered scripting access seems particularly clever, welcomes beginners without

219
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,000
holding back advanced users.

220
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,150
Exactly right. It's designed, I think, to be a tool that doesn't just enable but

221
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:44,000
really empowers a journey of discovery.

222
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,630
You can start small, get comfortable, and then gradually unlock deeper levels of

223
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:54,000
control and complexity as your projects and your understanding evolve naturally.

224
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Right. We've talked about these incredible features, you know, in theory.

225
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,580
But how does this actually translate into real art, real performances, real

226
00:12:00,580 --> 00:12:03,000
interactive experiences out there in the world?

227
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,530
Can you maybe give us a little glimpse into what artists and creators are actually

228
00:12:06,530 --> 00:12:08,000
doing with OSIS score right now?

229
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000
What sort of practical applications show off its power?

230
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,530
Yeah, absolutely. If we try and connect this to the bigger picture, OSIS score is

231
00:12:15,530 --> 00:12:20,000
definitely being used to push the boundaries of what's possible in interactive art.

232
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,900
It really empowers artists to create these unique, immersive experiences that kind

233
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:30,000
of blur the lines between the performer, the audience, and the environment itself.

234
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,520
The gallery section in the sources offers some really compelling examples, although,

235
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,550
you know, you often need to experience these things first and to really get the

236
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:37,000
full impact.

237
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Sure.

238
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,050
But for instance, you might see a project like Recapture. Now, that's not just a

239
00:12:42,050 --> 00:12:43,000
static display.

240
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Imagine an installation where OSIS score is analyzing real-time input.

241
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,730
Maybe it's the subtle movements of people in the audience or changes in the

242
00:12:51,730 --> 00:12:54,000
environment like light or sound levels.

243
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
OK.

244
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,140
OSIS score then translates these inputs into, say, a generative soundscape that's

245
00:12:59,140 --> 00:13:04,010
constantly evolving and reacting and simultaneously influencing a complex visual

246
00:13:04,010 --> 00:13:05,000
projection.

247
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,050
It's about making the artwork feel like a living, breathing thing that responds to

248
00:13:09,050 --> 00:13:13,050
its surroundings, creates a really dynamic, often unpredictable experience for

249
00:13:13,050 --> 00:13:14,000
whoever is there.

250
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
A living artwork.

251
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Yeah. Or another example might be something like Carousel Musical.

252
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,690
This seems to demonstrate its use in really sophisticated musical and visual

253
00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:27,000
installations where lots of elements need precise synchronization and triggering.

254
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,050
So here, OSIS score isn't just managing multi-channel audio and high-res video

255
00:13:32,050 --> 00:13:33,000
playback.

256
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,590
It's also choreographing complex lighting cues via DMX, maybe integrating physical

257
00:13:38,590 --> 00:13:41,000
elements that move or react in real time.

258
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,410
It allows for, as the source puts it, precise and flexible scripting of interactive

259
00:13:46,410 --> 00:13:47,000
scenarios,

260
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,270
turning what might be a passive viewing or listening thing into an active,

261
00:13:51,270 --> 00:13:53,000
responsive environment.

262
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
It's really about creating pieces where the audience isn't just watching.

263
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,620
They become an integral part of the performance itself. Their presence influences

264
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:00,000
it.

265
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Yeah, that feels like the aha moment for me. It's not just about producing a show.

266
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,650
It's more about designing a responsive world where the digital stuff becomes a true

267
00:14:08,650 --> 00:14:10,000
partner in the creative expression,

268
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,000
reacting to input, not just playing back pre-made content. You're not just watching.

269
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000
You often become an active participant. The artwork itself feels alive.

270
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Absolutely. It transforms passive consumption into active, dynamic participation.

271
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
It really changes the relationship.

272
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,320
And this brings up an important point, I think. OCScore isn't just a piece of

273
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,000
software.

274
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
It's really positioned as an ecosystem for interactive art.

275
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,160
It offers this incredible flexibility and control across a huge diversity of

276
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,000
technologies.

277
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
And crucially, it's free and open source.

278
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
It basically provides the tools to script the behavior of an entire environment.

279
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,810
So, thinking ahead, what if the next big wave of artistic expression isn't just

280
00:14:49,810 --> 00:14:51,000
about creating static things,

281
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,280
but about designing these truly responsive worlds where technology becomes almost

282
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,000
an extension of our senses, our intentions?

283
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,050
How might you, listening right now, use a powerful, open tool like OCScore to bring

284
00:15:04,050 --> 00:15:06,000
an idea, maybe a concept,

285
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
or even just a simple interaction to life?

286
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000
The possibilities, when you have this kind of control, they really do feel limitless.

287
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,660
