====== Liquid State Machine ===== by [[http://www.1010.co.uk/org/|Martin Howse]] and Wolfgang Spahn, 2011-12\\ Liquid State Machine is an experimental Space-Noise-Continuum based on the connection (and disconnection) of Martin Howses noise generating systems and the analog/digital projection-machines of Wolfgang Spahn. It starts from influencing each others systems and end in an ultimate feedback between light and sound.\\ {{:performance:liquidstatemachine_spahn.jpg?400|}}\\ Borrowing terms from the cognitive and computer sciences, Liquid State Machine usually describes a soup of connected nodes, a situation with inputs, nonlinear functions and outputs which computes something or assists in its computation.\\ In this instance, the performance space becomes the computational soup bucket, an experimental Space-Noise-Continuum based on the connections between the plentiful nodes of both the kinetic-electromagnetic-noise apparatus of Martin Howse and the analogue/digital projection-machines of Wolfgang Spahn.\\ The performance begins with the subtle influence across these two distinct systems, arriving at an ultimate feedback between light (waves) and sound. LSM presents a play with transformations between distinct physical system domains.\\
