“Webscape Navigation” by Francesco Corvi (nesso) and Flor de Fuego is a browser-based live coding performance that allows the internet to be experienced as a transdimensional space. Using a gamepad, the performers control a three-dimensional environment that visually and conceptually represents the web. This navigation becomes the core of the performance, transforming the act of surfing into a poetic movement through digital landscapes. HTML elements, UI components, and the live console flow into the aesthetics, exposing the technical layers of the internet. Debugging tools, normally invisible in the background, become an integral part of the artwork here. The transparency of live coding opens up new perspectives on the medium and shifts the audience’s perception: performance, medium, and audience enter into a newly defined dialogue. It is less about technical virtuosity, but more about experiencing a navigation that simultaneously exposes and poeticizes the digital space.
Webscape Navigation
A live coding performance that stages the web as an accessible, performative space.
Flor de Fuego (Maria Florencia Alonso) is a digital craft artist who primarily works with programming and live coding to create performative experiences. Her research explores concepts such as body, space, code, and the chaos-cosmos. She has participated in several international festivals in Europe and America, both individually and in collaboration with other artists. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the National University of La Plata, Argentina. Flor is actively involved in the live coding community, for example, with Hydra, a browser-based live coding software developed by Olivia Jack.
Francesco Corvi is a sound and multimedia artist, teacher, and creative programmer. His work explores new performative languages and aesthetics through live coding, adaptive systems, sound spatialization techniques, and multimedia environments. He graduated with honors from the Licinio Refice Conservatory in Frosinone and the Institute of Sonology in The Hague (Netherlands), where he researched computer music in relation to the concepts of embodiment, virtuosity, and live performance. He has presented his work at events such as the Ostrava Days, New Interfaces for Musical Expression, the International Conference of Live Coding, the International Conference on Functional Programming, Digital Arts Zurich, the Spring Attitude Festival, ArteScienza, WeSa Seoul, Glitch Pixel Language, and many others. He has given lectures and workshops at various universities, including IED, Aalto, NABA, and KABK, and collaborates with INDIRE and Tempo Reale on training projects for music teachers in public schools.
Creative Coding Utrecht (CCU) is a non-profit platform for digital creativity based in Utrecht. We support artistic research, talent development, and interdisciplinary collaboration at the intersection of art, technology, and society. Our activities range from public programs and labs to residencies and educational projects – always rooted in experimentation, accessibility, and community building. As a Zoöp (zoop.earth), CCU is committed to integrating more-than-human perspectives into creative practice. This research explores how artistic and technological tools can help us perceive, connect with, and care for the living world – not only thematically, but also structurally, in the ways we create and collaborate.
