CodeZebra is an interactive software and performance environment engaged with current debates in art and science. It enables cross-disciplinary dialogue and exploration using visualization, language games and role play. CodeZebra is predicated on an ongoing and increasingly fertile seduction between the apparently separate, but related species of art and science. CodeZebra explores aesthetics, improvisation, emotion and analysis. It is "site evolutionary": CodeZebra adapts the context, language, and movement grammar of its location.
