With
the CYNETart Festival in 2008 the Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau (TMA) together
with their partners from Madrid, Norrköping and Prague launched the project
»European Tele-Plateaus – Transnational Sites of Encounter and Co-Production«.
This network of virtual environments is based on the conceptual and practical
activities that the TMA has been pursuing for many years and will be supported
by the European Union through the year 2010. The project aims at creating
publicly accessible virtual sites of sound and vision. By providing a virtual
environment these spaces allow sensory-physical interactions over long distances
in realtime. The visitors’ physical activities are linked and embedded in
a trans-local virtual environment. Thus, so-called hyper-sites emerge which
integrate various locally significant visual and sound processes via the internet.
The concept of Tele-Plateaus intends to encourage interdisciplinary and intercultural
ways of thinking and working as well as new forms of cross-border communication
and co-operation.
Tele-Plateaus
is an international initiative planned to run through 2010 with an aim to
create publicly accessible networked audiovisual sites. The main objective
is to make possible and support real-time sensory-physical interactions of
people over long distances. Therefore, we work to establish a permanent network
allowing for direct audiovisual real-time interactions between similarly configured
public sites and performance stages across Europe. Tele-Plateaus is composed,
controlled and structured by movements of people from different cities. Within
these networked stages and sites people from Dresden, Madrid, Norrköping,
and Prague (among the first connected cities) can dance and play together.
They can simultaneously create pictures, sounds, and light effects by means
of their own movements without operating any additional interfaces. The shared
virtual hyper-site is based on the generation of data that is available for
processing to all computers within a common network. Movement parameters (speed,
spatial position, etc.) are captured and digitalised by camera-based motion
system and exchanged between computers at distant locations with a technically
similar configuration. At concrete sites the numerically coded movement parameters
are creatively transformed into audiovisual outputs and processes. Tele-Plateaus
ultimately provides accessible environments for live telematic artistic performances
and other collaborative activities. The
project is co-financed by Culture 2007 Programme of the European Union for
the period 2008-2010.
Project is led by TMA | Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau (http://www.t-m-a.de/)
in co-operation with the Hellerau - European Center for the Arts, and is jointly
produced with CIANT Prague (CZ, http://www.ciant.cz/),
REVERSO Madrid (ES, http://www.reverso.org/), and bitnet Norrköping
(SE, http://bnp.se/).

Synopsis:
ETP_body-spaces09
– Exploration of Near & Distance is
an experimental performance of four dancers with simultaneous actions in Dresden,
Prague, Madrid and Norrköping. The interactive environment is web-linked and
divided into four parts. Each part is bound to explore the relationship between
proximity and distance in different ways within net-linked virtual environments.
– Part I: body-visiting of Madrid
– Part II: re-body-spaces
– Part III: bodies & languages
– Part IV: body-instruments
