| [Nettime-bold] net.congestion - the web launch - Friday June 8th |
>>>> A N N O U N C E M E N T <<<< net.congestion - The Web Launch Friday, June 8, 2001 De Balie - Salon Doors & streams open @ 20.00 hrs (Local Amsterdam Time) GMT: 19.00 LAT: 20.30 : Official launch of the web archive GMT: 19.30 During the past months an on-line web archive has been built of net.congestion, the International Festival of Streaming Media, which was organised in Amsterdam in October 2000. As far as possible all the debates, workshops and presentations of the festival have been included in the archive. Besides these archived streaming components the on-line archive also contains all the texts of largely sold-out festival reader, the web journal, interviews and other source materials. LAT: 21.00 : Live on-line - looking good GMT: 20.00 A kaleidoscope of projects that were present during the net.congestion festival will be presented during the evening. All contributions will be made live on-line via the internet from various locations shattered around the globe: E-Lab / RIXC (Riga/Latvia), Radio 90 / Sleeping Buffalo (Indigenous net.radio) from Banff, Canada, Open Streaming Alliance (New York), House of Laudanum (Sydney), Consolidated Works / HugeCaster (Seattle), Sarai (Delhi), and others have been asked to make an on-line contribution to this program, and share some of their views and insights into the future of streaming media for arts, culture and activism. LAT: 22.30 : net.radio.web.tv.night GMT: 21.30 The remote presentations will flow into the net.radio.web.tv.night: a transcontinental re-mix and live-jam of images, sound and digital data structures, presented as a virtual audio-visual planetary Ping-Pong match via the internet. The net.radio.night is a well established concept of the xchange network of net.broadcasters, a world-wide coalition of sound and media artists who investigate the internet as a medium for live audio-visual transmissions. The evening program in Amsterdam will take place in an informal atmosphere with drinks, projected live streams and chatrooms and on-site musical improvisations. Seattle promises to organise a rich-media lunch, about the other locations we have no reliable data as yet. -> chill out in the post-dot-com new media jungle! __________________ ** Remote participants: IRC chat at: http://irc.re-lab.net/xchange Links to live streams at: http://www.net.congestion/live http://www.balie.nl/live The festival & archive web site: http://net.congestion.org _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
