I have a few ideas that I might want to work on. Some are in really early stages and I will not share them yet. But two are a little bit more mature and I'll describe them briefly below.
Performance space as a computer
The note by Alexander Galloway on code as a language that is executable reminded me of John Cage and performances of him I heard about. He wrote instructions for his performers.

I will have to broaden my knowledge about them and especially my knowledge about the people who came after them. The idea of performers being the medium where upon language is executed appeals me. I wonder how far this
