Isadora is a graphic programming environment for Macintosh that provides interactive control over digital media, with special emphasis on the real-time manipulation of digital video.Because every performance or installation is unique, Isadora was designed not to be a “plug and play” program, but instead offers building blocks that can be linked together in an almost unlimited number of ways, allowing you to follow your artistic impulse.

Isadora was designed by composer and media artist Mark Coniglio, and as such, it reflects over 10 years of practical experience with realtime interaction.

kokomono thanks all guys for having this great trip through the streets and night of berlin!!!

After the silent network rocking the park behind the Hackescher Markt, bein driven away from several locations (thx berghainies) and ending up at Club der Visionaere, we were happy to play also the next day in Xberg to heat up a Matsu’s crowd.

At May, 10th 2007 kokomono artists Kosei Takasaki, “Der einarmige Bandit” and randali came together with berlin’s vibrant contact dance scene at the 103 Studio. Contact Dance means that a lot of very talented dancers (amateurs and pros) come together to dance and improvise.

kokomono artists were invited this time to show their stunning live - video performance, mixing the live capture (shot with three cameras) and video art.

Check out the pictures and came back for the video which will be available at 25th of June
