[Nettime-bold] Open Content @rtCast |
Open Content @rtCast Broadcasting of audio/video clips over the Net is currently one of the most prominent and most utilized services on the Internet. All ambitious Web sites attempt to attract the eyeballs of the "streaming" audience by putting such multimedia material on-line. Artists, not-for-profit centers and media organizations, natural sources of interesting and relevant material, tend to stay out of the loop. Either their material is beyond producers of always-after-venture-capital dot-coms, or they do not have resources and necessary technical skills to broadcast and create networks. Location One has already established itself as a significant production center of video clips exclusively made for the netcast, (www.location1.org). The major programs currently running at Location One are: - @ir RaiD: Ted Byfield's interviews with political activists and controversial artists; (www.location1.org/interview) - Locution: Bonnie Marranca's series of interviews with performance artists; (www.location1.org/locution) - Open Source @rtLab: gathers code and content producers and helps not-for profit arts centers to establish their own netcasting capabilities and reach an Internet audience, using Open Source tools and Location One streaming capabilities and Open Source Streaming Alliance group (www.egroups.com/group/OpenStreamingNetwork). In addition to the existing programs, Location One is starting @rtCast, a new streaming channel that will netcast selected art video work. The main objective is to offer open channel for high quality Internet streaming of artwork. Our curator, Harm Lux (harmlux@location1.org) will, through open communications with artists worldwide, select work to be screened on www.location1.org. Artists and art institutions are encouraged to send videocassettes to Location One. Each video work should be self-contained and self-explanatory, with the title and author(s) clearly written in the credits and on the tape itself. After a piece is selected for screening, the authors will be notified by email that their work is selected for the @rtCast channel as well as the precise time that the piece will be broadcast. Material should be submitted either in form of a video cassette (PAL/NTSC) or, if available, in a computer-generated, digital format and mailed to: Open Content @rtCast Program 26 Greene street NYC, 10013 NY _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
