On this evening we focus on archiving De Player’s Pushing the Score project. This project on the present-day meaning of the 'graphic score' has been running for the last 2-3 years. De Player asked Varia to set up a contextual and technical environment as a web based archival publication of the project. During this event Varia will explain its approach on this. 

**Valentina Vuksic** is part of a vinyl boxset relating to the project, containing works of her, Helga Jakobson and Ana Guedes. All three have a particular approach creating sound, which can be seen as specific ways to create scores for sound and performance. Valentina Vuksic will perform a live set. She approaches computers with transducers that transform electromagnetic radiation into sound in choreographically setups, the ‘runtime’ of executed software is staged for an audience to provide an acoustic experience of logic encountering the physical world.

about Pushing Scores:<br>
What are the possibilities of graphic scores, in a day and age in which graphic notation is still usually seen as a ‘drawing’, serving as some kind of sheet music? In an attempt to redefine this concept, DE PLAYER compiles a programme in which artists, musicians, theoreticians and practitioners are invited to participate. The collective goal is to develop and present new audio-visual and media-technical forms of graphic notation through artistic research and development. Based on our compilation of the most contemporary and innovative graphic notation practices in the fields of music, sound art, performance art, e-culture, new-media art, graphic design and media design, we introduce artists and designers from various creative disciplines to a national and international audience, with the goal of collectively developing new forms of graphic notation.
