- Part of series: THE LIVING CODE
The CSIRAC computer is a famous 1st generation computing machine that inspired computer scientists to perform music with machines as early as the 1950s. It is inherently connected to Melbourne.
In this performance, selected live coders from South-East Asia will develop a performance based on the heritage aesthetics of CSIRAC in a remixed, re-sampled, de-constructed, fragmented and amalgamated work.
The artists will share their perspective as sightseeing visitors to Naarm/Melbourne and its technological past in the form of the CSIRAC computer.
Artists
-
M0xa is an active audio/visual performer from Jakarta, Indonesia, who emerged in late 2025. Beginning their coding journey as a spreadsheet engineer, they create live-coding performances that are deeply inspired by the textures of urbanscapes and abstract childhood memories, embracing both raw noise and soft granular sound that reflect two polar opposites.

Shara Francisco is a media artist, designer, and cultural worker whose practice explores the reciprocal patterns between human cognition and digital technology. She observes how the latter functions as both an extension of and a repository for the lived experience, responding to a human inclination to preserve personal memory and record traces of time’s passage.
Informed by her background on behavioral design, her practice explores cognitive processes and memory by digitally recreating episodic simulations across installations, generative moving images, and
live visuals. She approaches recollection as an active, reconstructive performance, one that unveils the fragmentary and associative nature of memory retrieval, and by extension, the construction of self.
Shara Francisco is based between Mandaluyong and Laguna, Philippines. She completed her BA in Multimedia Arts at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in 2022. -
Inmintcondition is a Bangkok-based sound engineer and bedroom music producer. With a love for synthesis and genre-blending, she crafts textured soundscapes through both coding and hardware.
Her live-coded performances have featured at Diage Festival (TH), Cornea Cochlear Club (TH), BEAT FOREST (TH), SynapHome/Lab (TH), and Algorapture (ID).
