- Live cinema: composing linear narratives through untouchable interfaces and the performers' body movementsPublication . Mendes da Silva, Bruno; Caeiro Perfeito, Ana de JesusThis paper discusses the concept of "live cinema" — a sub-genre of digital media art — through the ideas and perspectives of theoretical authors, from the silent film era to the digital media art era. It reflects on issues relating to narratives and interactivity, analyzing four works of live cinema: Super Everything, Massive Attack vs Adam Curtis, Moda Vestra and Safara — Lucid Dream 2020. By way of comparison, the same issues are addressed in three artistic projects from other subgenres of digital media art: Cadavre Exequis (interactive film), Stephen Kloss (audiovisual performance), Hantrakul & Kaczmarek (electronic music). The author proposes to develop a theoretical basis of reference, to compose linear narratives in live cinema performances, through untouchable interfaces and the performers' body movements. The present study is the intermediate results of a PhD thesis, with a practice-based research methodology in artistic practice.
- A live cinema performance: Playing a linear narrative through soundscapesPublication . Caeiro Perfeito, Ana de Jesus; Mendes da Silva, BrunoThe aim of this article is to document part of the creative process of the live cinema work Safara—Lucid Dream 2020, an audiovisual show that represents the experience of a lucid dream and consists of a performer, in front of a film projection, manipulating the audiovisual elements using analogue and digital interfaces. It is an art and research project in development since 2020, and in this documented phase the author introduces soundscapes to complete the work in terms of sound and narrative, and we question whether it is possible to improvise in live sound samples while maintaining the continuity of the film’s story. The research methodology is based on artistic practice, and we present a state- of-theart study on the following concepts: sound art, soundscape, sound field recording and soundscape composition. The practical work was carried out with the financial support of government institutions and the technical and production support of a non-profit cultural association.
