Hyperproduction is a conceptual framework and a software toolkit which allows producers to specify a descriptive computational model and consequently an abstract state for a live experience through traditional operating paradigms such as mixing audio, or operation of lighting, sound and video systems. The hyperproduction system is able to interpret this universal state and automatically utilize additional production systems, allowing for a small number of producers to cohesively guide the attention and perspective of an audience using many or very complex production systems simultaneously. We focus on exploring the relationship of conventional production systems and techniques to abstract computational models of live performance, with attention and perspective as the cornerstones of this exploration.
