  This paper presents Telebrain, a browser-based performatization platform
invented for organizing real-time telematic performances. Performatization is
the human performance of algorithms. When computers and humans performatize
cooperatively, the human-computer interaction (HCI) becomes the location of
computation. Novel modes of machine-human communication are necessary for
organizing performatizations. Telebrain is designed to facilitate machine-human
languages. Capitalizing on the ubiquity and cross-platform compatibility of the
Internet, Telebrain is an open-source web application supporting PerPL
(Performer Programming Language), a human-interpreted configurable language of
multi-media instructions used to program performers. Telebrain facilitates a
variety of performance disciplines such as music, theater, dance, computational
performance, networked scoring (image and audio), prompted improvisation,
real-space multi-player gaming, collaborative transdisciplinary karaoke and
quantum square-dancing. (http://telebrain.org)
