“…Often problems appear as requirements by the artist might change repeatedly until he/she is satisfied [10]. Defining the system specification in enough tangible terms in early stage of a project has been found particularly challenging [11].…”

The article presents ImproSculpt -a live performance instrument for algorithmic composition and improvised audio manipulation. A custom version of the software has been used within several interactive art installations, one of which (i.e. Flyndre) will be described. Besides the software characteristics and usage modes we present and discuss the software engineering challenges, problems and lessons learned during the development of ImproSculpt. Several methodologies were used in the case study: observing the project through its life cycle; analyzing the software and its documentation; questionnaire with the artist who is also the main developer; two software engineering interventions. The support of high performance, easy modifiability and availability were found to be particularly important. The development of a modular architecture has been identified as a way to satisfy some of the non-functional quality attributes of the software that appeared with the growth of the project. Furthermore, ImproSculpt has been published as open source software in order to increase access to wider public and stimulate input from interested community -software developers and artists.

“…Here are some examples: (Machin, 2002) aims at reducing the gap between developers and artists and enhancing creativity; Warr and O'Neill (2007) focus on visualization at early stage of collaborative work, supporting individual creativity; Mamykina et al (2002) discuss the importance of the ability to track progress and revisit design decision. Referring to Macromedia Director Machin (2002) states "this kind of software provides the artists with a powerful tool which assist in visualising the piece even at a very early stage of its design" (p.3). described that a development toolkit (for new media content design) should support separate design (by the artists) and implementation (by software developers) of the final application.…”

The interaction between art and technology, especially computing technology, is an increasing trend in the recent days. The context of this intersection is growing in numbers, size and aspects each year. The number of artists participating in multimedia software or games development projects is continuously increasing and so is the number of software engineers participating in art projects like interactive art installations. As this intersection of art and technology grows, it involves people from different disciplines with varying interests creating a milieu of interdisciplinary collaborations. In this context at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, we explore the intersection of software and art to understand different entities that are involved in the intersection. This is done by literature review and inspired by our previous experiences from participation in art projects. The objective is to conceptualize the framework of the intersection between software and art and develop a knowledge base at this interdisciplinary domain.Intersection of Software and Art 3

“…The role of software developer is explained for example by Machin in [17]. In order to build software tools for artists, pragmatics analysis of context and behaviour is crucial because art is heavily immersed in practice and action, and because art is valued on its ability to communicate [18].…”

“…One main motivation for the cooperation between artists and engineers is that large artistic projects must rely on IT knowledge to be successful. For example, in [17] Machin underlines the importance of mature requirement elicitation techniques, which enable the capture of the artist's ideas without inhibiting the artistic process. Researchers are interested in comparing the software development methods in art projects and analyze which ones suit better an art project in a certain context.…”

The intersection of information technology (IT) and art involves people from different disciplines with varying interests creating a milieu of interdisciplinary collaborations. In this context we explore the intersection of IT and art to understand different entities that are involved in the intersection. We do this by reviewing literature and reflecting and comparing our experiences from participation in five art projects. The objective is to develop a knowledge base at this interdisciplinary domain based on the interplay of the theoretical framework and our practical experience.
