Event Description:
The January 15, 2003, Internet2 Virtual Briefing
will offer a unique opportunity for participants to learn about
the technologies used to create the virtual environment for
the Performance Event during the Fall 2002 Internet2 Member
Meeting in Los Angeles. The Briefing is scheduled from 1:00
pm-2:30 pm EST (UTC-5). Participants may watch via several streaming
methods (and may download a free viewer
for the VBrick MPEG-2 stream), or may participate
interactively using H.323 multi-point conferencing.
“Cultivating
Communities: Dance in the Digital Age” was performed
on Tuesday, October 29, 2002, at the Bing Theater on the campus
of the University of Southern California. Boldly experimental,
the performance featured the capabilities of Internet2-enabled
collaborations from member institution campuses including
dancers and musicians live onstage and remote.
The January Briefing will focus on how the Performance Event
used video switching, projection, audio engineering, and network
and netcast engineering. The moderator will be Ann
Doyle, Internet2 Arts and Humanities Initiative Manager.
Speakers will include:
During the Performance Event at the Bing, Doyle served as
Executive Producer and Master of Ceremonies, Orto as Production
Director, Brown as Lead Audio Engineer, and Crosswell as Netcast
Producer.
