Hi everyone, this is the Call for Performers for the virtual video streaming festival I've been talking about. Please feel free to forward it anywhere you like, post it on your blog, twitter the link out etc. Link to twitter: http://moinlabs.de/vsv/cfp.htm Of course, I'm happy to answer any questions (off-list). Thanks, Rainer --- VIRTUAL SOUND AND VISION Festival - Call for Performers ======================================================= Please do distribute this call for performers freely among mailing lists, forums and blogs. In your own interest, make sure that contact info does not get lost in the process. The email box for communication is: virtualfestival ÄTT moinlabs DOT de A two-day long festival on video stream services of performers playing from their home to yours. A very long webstream gig with performers from all over the world - your input and ideas are very welcome. Virtual Sound and Vision ("VSV" for short) is the first international video streaming music festival, presenting music with visual content to a virtual audience via the world wide web. Using contemporary services for free video streaming, the art is transmitted from the individual artists' performance spaces via the festival site (a truly virtual entity) to the audience, watching and listening from virtually everywhere. The selection of acts will focus on artists making creative use of combination of audio/video (e.g. live video processing, music played to silent films) and/or internet technology for music art (e.g. realtime internet collaboration). VSV is scheduled for the weekend of Sat 3rd/Sun 4th of October 2009 in the time span from 16:00 UTC (http://tinyurl.com/ne6hts) to 23:00 UTC (http://tinyurl.com/nkagrl) each. (Please check links for local time conversions). INFO FOR FESTIVAL GUESTS: ------------------------- The entire festival will be streamed via the internet, there will be no actual and "physical" festival location. Watching the festival requires the use of a contemporary computer of almost any kind (e.g. desktop, notebook, netbook) and OS, a web browser and an acceptable internet connection (e.g. slow DSL link or faster). The festival is provided free of charge. Signup is not necessary. A bill of performers and running order will be published on Sunday September 13th of 2009 on the festival website and via a festival newsgroup. Until then, check out our web presence (see below).
