[-empyre-] a bit on delay

hi,

Sorry to be offline for a while. Just in a transient loop....which brings
me to mention Jesse Gilbert in reference to the comments made below:

Probably Alan you know of Jesses work already
(http://www.turbulence.org/Works/interaxis/bios/jg.html) , he has done a
lot of experimentation with live performance utilising delay caused by
streaming. The MOCA staged one of his perfomances FLOOD in 2000 I think
which involved looped + overlayed video and audio streams...it was a very
interesting experiment + had some very bueatiful visual components.

I also read recently that the most recent Mars toy (Spirit) is radio
controlled. However I think the delay in sending the commands is 20
minutes...which I guess would make interesting musings for possible
future remote performances

There have been other uses of streaming delay too in performance but
generally it seems performers like their media synchronised and use more
sophisticated video conferencing equipment---Kelli Dipple
(http://www.gravelrash.net/) has done a lot of performative
experimentation with both streaming solutions (and delay etc) and
synchronised a/v media using the Access Grid network
(http://www.accessgrid.org/)....and of course there is always the
Marcel network (http://www.mmmarcel.org/english/contents.html)... anyway
must run (without further delay)...
