through and with sound. The environment and programming language of
SuperCollider is considered as an interactive tool between sound and
human agency in which the structure of the performance is formed and
is distinguished into three points:
• SC Sound Processing, Pre- recorded sounds (Agapi Zarda)
• Input 1, Voice (Filippos Vasileiou)
• Input 2 Contact Microphone (Yiannis Lefas)

Passive participation: no requirements Active participation:
SuperCollider <https://supercollider.github.io/> and OSCGroups
<http://www.rossbencina.com/code/oscgroups>
3.7 Description
───────────────
This worskhop shows how to share performance data in real time over
the internet via OSC, and demonstrates some applications using
playback of recorded data from dance performances. OSCGroups is used
to broadcast messages from SuperCollider to all members in a group. We
show how to use OSCGroups in order to share data. As a demonstration,
movement data from sensors recorded from dance performances
(<https://ide-fantasy.tumblr.com/>) are sent to supercollider and
openFrameworks clients in each remote user, in order to generate sound
and graphics. Furthermore we discuss other possibilities of remote
collaboration and possible future developments, using Docker to
install Machine Learning software in order to process sound and
control data.
