hi everyone,

<tangent>

Of note,

There are several art centres worldwide (V-2, etc) that have the necessary
bandwidth & it's becoming more common, also at many universities. However a
large investment is required (along with time and software programming).
Perhaps the financial and technological aspects will constitute the main
bottleneck for direct IP, realtime interactivity ..

I'm currently working on curation for digital happenings using such
technology, with Montreal's SAT - http://www.sat.qc.ca . For the next
question is one what _does_ with such technology other than to revel in its
apparent immediacy.

best, tV
