telematics lab

"Lens of Anonymity"

The "Live Art Telematics Lab" (LATela) was formed at Nottingham to go online on November 21, 2003, joining ADaPT and participating in a first cross-continental performance on November 24. A telematic performance workshop started in February 2004 offering students and postgraduate researchers from Live Art and Art & Design to become involved in internet/streaming media research. LATela continues its research cooperation with the transnational ADaPT community which was initiated in 2000. In March 2006 it relocated to Brunel University, West London, and is now integrated into the DAP-Lab activities combining live streaming media with electronics and fashion design/wearable technologies.

RESEARCH MISSION

ADAPT is an interdisciplinary association of artists, technologists and scholars from different educational institutions dedicated to research and critical dialogue on performance and media in telepresence space.

The objectives of ADaPT are to:

- create a site for telematic collaboration for the purpose of developing new models of practice and training techniques for the creation of networked dance and performance

- develop a shared mediated space for investigating performance and creative collaboration through a distributed environment across time zones

- situate research within a larger cultural and political context that acknowledges how mediated performances both frame and are framed by issues such identity, privilege, and access.

This research group was founded in December 2000 by five core centers; Arizona State University, The University of California-Irvine, Ohio State University, University of Utah, University of Wisconsin, Madison. ADaPT has gradually expanded and now has associates in Europe, Canada, Latin America, Japan and Australia.

" The Lens of Anonymity" - Presented by ADaPT

Nov. 24 (Corpos Informaticos, iVisit screenshot)

An installation/performance that uses on-line telepresence and chat rooms to mask one's identity. Using AOL chat-rooms along with live video streams from Arizona State University, Wayne State University, and Nottingham Trent Unversity, we will collaborate in real-time on a work-in-progress that explores identity, self, and place.

Please log-on to watch the broadcast or email your AIM (Aol Instant Messenger) user name to us so that you can contribute to the unfolding narrative happening live in the chat room.

The telematic performance workshop at the Powerhouse, Victoria Studios, began in February 2004. Rehearsals in Nottingham will be coordinated with rehearsals in Detroit, Arizona, and other remote partner sites. LATela also plans collaborations with the local "Moon Radio" (Active Ingredient) and the "ScreenPlay" festival in late February.
