I think one important point that maybe unclear hear is: that what we will
show on june 26th will technically have to do nothing with the oudeis
performance in 1998 on 7 stages!!!
there we wont use the internet phone
there we will be a special webstage for the internetaudience
there will be a special stage design for the real audience
and I agree that the concept for this performance sounds vague in some way!
because I first laid emphasis on the real audience in Vienna, but I am now
trying to include webaudience as much as possible!!

well this could result in a discussion about "live" / "broadcasting" , film
/ theater .... but basically I would say your idea is right in some way

news from our sponsor vianet: http://www.vianet.at
we can use their direct ISDN dialup to MMK and there real audio server if
we need it for the performance
and oudeis websites will move there soon (that's for all of you who have
problems in accessing them)
and they will provide us with two PC s for the performance :-)
santiago should we set up a mirror? should we even have them on the MMK
computer directly (which michael vesely from vianet said is technically
possible ....)?
so how can we proceed? I have to say I do not technically understand how we
could use the RA - I will scan their webpages before tonights meeting - but
actually it DOES sound much better than the internet phone possibility

well you are telling important and interesting opinions and observations,
so please go on!

jim, may I ask you something personally? (excuse me if I already did before)
what is it you are doing? I mean what is your job / position ?

:-) that needs more discussion (and more knowledge by my side I think)
Is Internet asynchronous??
what does "broadcast" mean?
