> Dear friends and colleagues, > > Now entering its third year, this international exhibition of live, > networked performance-based works transmitted via the internet and projected > in real time at multiple venues throughout the U.S. and around the world. Low > Lives 3 promises to be the farthest reaching to date with over 20 presenting > partners in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, Germany, > India, Tanzania, Brazil and Japan. > > Low Lives examines works that critically investigate, challenge, and extend > the potential of performance practice presented live through online > broadcasting networks such as Ustream. tv or Livestream.com. These networks > provide a new alternative and efficient medium for presenting, viewing, and > archiving performances. Low Lives is not simply about the presentation of > performative gestures at a particular place and time but also about the > transmission of these moments and what gets lost, conveyed, blurred, and > reconfigured when utilizing this medium. Low Lives embraces works with a > lo-fi aesthetic such as low pixel image and sound quality, contributing to a > raw, D.I.Y. and sometimes voyeuristic quality in the transmission and > reception of the work. > > Artists working in any media are invited to submit proposals for > performance-based works.
