ustream is really easy-peasy - just need someone at the event with internet & web cam; create an account, start broadcasting, & tell us the url.
re the karen network & use of academic video conferencing things for artistic purposes - there has been a bit of work done in this area using the "access grid" (by kelly dipple, keith armstrong, suzon fuks, james cunningham & others) a while ago; when i was at QUT in the last couple of years i knew they had an access grid suite but i never found out where, or thru whom i could get access to it to play around. it seemed to me that in fact the access grid is pretty unaccessible, unless you happen to be in the right place at the university. & as far as i understand, the output is only accessible to other insitutions with the right equipment (big screens, specific software) & network capabilities & access. maybe what you have over the karen network is better but from what i know the access grid type of video conferencing set up is not designed to connect to people at home. then there's always iVisit - that does allow for multiple users & connections & web cams ... but probably ustream is the simplest & least fuss. h : ) Zita Joyce wrote: > Thanks for that tip Helen, and a very good point.
