About

Ada v2.0b is a computer programmer created in 2010.

It was designed for creating programs using Pure Data (a graphical programming language), in a Live Coding session, based on its own (sub/o)jectivity.

This is done through the analysis of what happens in the Kernel (the central component of most computer Operating Systems) of the machine, in real-time. Based on this, Ada 2.0b creates an audiovisual Live Coding performance, without human intervention.

Inspired by the Emotional Kernel Panic and the Marvim Gainsbug projects, this project was developed in Pure Data and Python (using a special module for Pd dynamic patching, called Pyata) by Jeraman.
