open_borders: Improvisation Across Networks, Distance, Timezones

SHOW in the Telepresence Research Unit

Friday 11/21 at 7:00 p.m. PST - Baskin Engineering 2 - #510

please RSVP: cpayne@ucsc.edu

a few people will be in the lab playing music and doing video (Synthia, Anthony, Tyler on video), and we will also be on NINJAM. We'll use iChat to teleconference into this event which is based out of UCLA.

Email Synthia if you want to participate.

Presented by: Adriene Jenik, University of California, San Diego, and Charley Ten, Inter-media artist

Performers, writers and engaged world citizens participate VIA WEB-BASED VIDEO-CONFERENCE TOOLS in a networked performance event.

The idea is that there is already an event going on there at UCLA and then remote performers from New York, Santa Cruz, Brazil, Mexico, and other places "hack in" (but it's planned ahead.)

Anyway the "hackers" winkwink, get projected on a big screen mixed with video from the mixers onsite.

It'll be chaotic and wonderful.
