- description
- AV live performance with Jamming Bot at Intervals Festival 2026, Nizhny Novgorod — semantic web crawl visualized in real time.
Jamming Bot — AV performance: a self-replicating bot wanders the web and builds a semantic graph of its path. Live visuals driven by crawled text, tags and sentiment.
Part of the Jammingbot v2.0 project — web app, semantic pipeline (spaCy, Redis, Flask), and AV live narrative.
24 April 2026 · Intervals Festival · Nizhny Novgorod
AV performances program — intervalsfest.com/people (arthew0, AV artists). Edition Intervals 2026: media exhibition across Nizhny Novgorod, opening concert, AV performances (24 Apr), night program (25 Apr).
AV scenario (scenes 0 → 6)
Live set unfolds the narrative of a bot without a goal, only a path. Stills v2.1.0 — one frame per scene.
- Desert — post-apocalyptic wasteland: static, viscous time, radioactive dust.
- Path — endless crawl along an exposed optical cable, the only structure in the dunes.
- Dependency parsing — awakening consciousness parses human language via grammar trees.
- Texts — thousands of steps become state clouds; words and meanings emerge; an «I» as information.
- Geo — distances measured by geohash proximity and forgotten microservices, not kilometres.
- Cloud — lyrical snapshot of humanity's past: mood and atmosphere, not a report.
- Embeddings — texts collapse into a vector cloud; meaning clusters form the final legacy snapshot.
TouchDesigner drives live visuals; the web app feeds real-time crawl data (tags, sentiment, graph).
