The following message was posted to: dance-tech Announcement to the dance/performance / digital arts community: The Interactive Performance Series (IPS) at the Ohio State University's Dance & Technology Program is pleased to present Australian artist Kelli Dipple as artist-in-residence during the first week of October (September 30 - October 5). Ms Dipple will be joining the Environments Lab for a series of experiments in telepresence and networked performance, starting with the new "Monday Night Live" <open house>, Monday, Sept. 30, 5:oo - 7:oo pm EST, at our experimental media/ webstudio. "Monday Night Live" opens up online research (conducted by ADAPT - Association of Dance and Performance Telematics since 2001) to an interested local public in order to demonstrate new possibilities of collaborative networked/distributed performance and the interconnections with remote sites http://www.dance.ohio-state.edu/Dance_and_Technology/enX.html For background history on dance/telepresence in the ADAPT research: http://www.dance.ohio-state.edu/workshops/ips3.html Kelli Dipple's work investigates integrated models for infrastructure implementation, alongside the development, presentation and distribution of performance, live event and screen culture across global networks. She has worked for the past 7 years at the intersection of digital technology and performance practice. Having trained traditionally in theatre and dance at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane Australia, Kelli has since developed specialist knowledge in video conferencing, streaming media, web and digital video technologies. Her work has been presented in theatre, dance, visual art, spoken word and music venue contexts. Kelli's current research has involved residencies at The University of Florida Digital Worlds Institute (USA) and The University of Manchester (UK). During this period she has been developing a multi-sited performance for the Access Grid multicast video conferencing network – linking between Gainsville, Manchester and Sydney. This project is part of a larger research and arts development initiative funded by the New Media Arts Board of the Australia Council for the Arts. Investigating the distribution of live performance and screen culture across networks, the impact of distribution on narrative and form and the integration of these technologies into cultural venues. Her current Research: http://www.navigatinggravity.net Project Archive: http://www.gravelrash.net (2) We are also pleased to welcome Maartje Janssen from the Art & Technology Program at Art Academy of Utrecht (Netherlands), who will be in residence as a visiting scholar of the OSU Dance & Technology Program this fall quarter, and will conduct research in the design of virtual theatre. Later in October we plan interfaces with other visiting artists who are coming to the Wexner Center, such as Eleanor and David Antin (October 15-16). On Wednesday, October 23, 6:oo pm, we will welcome internet artist/activist Ricardo Dominguez to the Environments Lab. Dominguez is founder of Electronic Disturbance Theatre, known for their internet art/activism on behalf of antiglobalization agendas. < > We are interested in starting online communications (and teleconferences) with those of you in the community who are pursuing similar interests, on the subject of "networked choreography/movement research" in conjunction with the designing of virtual environments, real-time interactive environments (both localized and telepresenced), interface behavior and mediated role-playing, and game environmments. Our critical investigations will also be directed at such "designs" in terms of their political role and determinations as specific c u l t u r a l interfaces and gendered environments. sincerely __________________________________ Johannes Birringer Dance & Technology Interactive Performance Series Ohio State University Columbus, OH 43210 usa +1 614 688 0169 ---------------------------------------- The Dance-Tech mailing list has recently moved to a new address.
