thanks a lot for this roger - it's great that you have made this available. (i realise that i never managed to get round to archiving the Dissension Convention performance that we did in VS ... ruth, marc, any chance it still exists somewhere??).
UpStage is similar-but-different to VS, & we are currently trying to get funding to do a complete rebuild in order to bring it up-to-date with current technologies (especially removing its dependency on flash) & at the same time adding new features. we welcome input from anyone with ideas, e.g. cool features from VS that could be integrated - especially if you can code! :) we hope that we can make a new platform that is modular, so that artists can select the features they want and build new ones to plug in according to our artistic needs. it would be great to work together with others with similar ideas, and share our resources so that we can make a sustainable platform. the working name of the new platform is Limelight and you can find it on https://github.com/upstage-org/limelight/ and there is also a developers' email list (https://lists.servus.at/mailman/listinfo/upstage-dev-lists.servus.at). & we have an open walkthrough in UpStage coming up on thursday, for anyone who is interested in finding out how the current version of UpStage works: https://upstage.org.nz/?event=open-walkthrough-thursday-16-april h : ) On 15.04.20 05:06, Graziano Milano via NetBehaviour wrote: > Thanks Roger for the Distance Presences video. > > I really miss the VisitorsStudio audio-visual platform that we used so > much back then for various art projects: > – Distance Presences > – Radio You Can Watch > – Ocean Between Sounds > – Bristol, Bronx, Bruce Grove Youth A/V Workshops and Performance > > It would be great we would be able to set up a similar audio-visual > online platform by using Java Script, HTML 5 and/or any other software > coding. > > Graziano > > On Tue, 14 Apr 2020 at 15:51, marc garrett via NetBehaviour > <netbehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org > <mailto:netbehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org>> wrote: > > Hi Roger, > > Lovely to hear & see this again.
