<br><br><br>We are proud to announce the winning essay of the Transmediale Vilém<br>Flusser Theory Award, co-commissioned by Mute and Goto10 [<a href="http://goto10.org/" target="_blank">goto10.org</a>]:<br><br><br>All Problems of Notation Will be Solved by the Masses<br>
<br>By Simon Yuill<br><br><br>If relational aesthetics and open source were always commercial, can the<br>musical score provide a way of thinking through different relationships<br>between creativity and code? The return to improvisation in 'livecoding'<br>
draws parallels with experimental practices developed by maverick<br>musicians, programmers and educators from Sun Ra, The Art Ensemble of<br>Chicago and the Scratch Orchestra to Seymour Papert. Simon Yuill argues<br>that these 'distributive practices' are worth extending today<br>
