Syneme will hold a ground breaking summer workshop on Telearts from July 5-23, 2010, at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada at the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The workshop explores the collaborative potential of mixed media/reality and live performance over high-speed networks using the power of 1 gigabit research networks. Real-time distance collaboration and performance will be the focus of our exploration. Syneme’s Telearts summer workshop aims to attract professional artists without year-round access to high-speed networks. Attendees will implement projects utilizing Syneme's (and those of our partner's) robust network infrastructure that carries HD video and uncompressed multichannel audio. The workshop will conclude with an international real-time networked performance. Syneme’s partners include the Banff Centre, Concordia, McGill and SAT Montreal, IDS Emily Carr, CEMC and Peking Univ Beijing, NUS Singapore, SARC Belfast, University of Waikata NZ, Hong Kong PolyU, Videotage HK, Bournemouth UK, CCRMA Stanford and Indiana Purdue US.
