An Open Streaming Network provides the opportunity to experiment with streaming media at low costs, with access for interested artists and students. Playing Field creates new ways for distribution of cultural streaming content, and provides a knowledge base on streaming media." (IMG Mainz)
Station Rose: Webcasting Station Rose interview Background: Webcasting is one of the most important techniques for Station Rose (STR) at the moment to create media art, in particular "web art". Webcasting means that images and sound are broadcasted in real time from our studio to the Internet. Description: We will concentrate our "Playing Field" project on audiovisual sessions, actually entailing music by Gary Danner & visuals by Elisa Rose, creating and editing, cutting and pasting, using MIDI and sequencer live. These audio-visual compositions first come into realtime existence only when STReamed to the internet, during the Webcasting, as a performance. Right now we’re extending the STReaming- techniques with videoconferencing, and with live connections to other streamers. Which means that STReams go out into the net and others come back and are integrated in realtime. The first step into this direction was made at the media conference "9.11. Netzwerke" in Frankfurt. |
