You may already know about this, but if not, here is a message I received
about an upcoming on-line/real-time performance that might be of interest.

>DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
>
>The telematic event REMOTE RISONANZE is a project that is specific to a
>local section of "Arte
>all'Arte", an exhibition born by an idea of Luciano Pistoi. This exhibition
>is conceived like an
>interaction moment between the main figures of contemporary art and some of
>the most interesting
>natural and architectural places of the involved italian countries.
>
>REMOTE RISONANZE event is linked to the workshop of foam rubber sculpture
>conduct by Piero
>Gilardi, guest artist in Alba. It is also connected to the opening of the
>Social Theatre of Alba, a XIXth
>century building that has been restored and expanded on the base of an
>interesting and very
>innovative project of double mirror-like stage.
>
>During the development of REMOTE RISONANZE Piero Gilardi, Gianni Corino and
>Elisa Giaccardi worked
>on the idea of joining in a kind of resonance the digital dimension of
>cyberspace and the spatial
>dimension of the Social Theatre. The creations made during the workshop of
>Piero Gilardi had to be
>the medium.
>
>As is written in the dictionary ("resonance is the sound which is produced
>in one object by sound
>waves coming from another object") our intention is to "make vibrate" the
>substanceless body of
>Internet in the historical space of Theatre, creating a bridge made of
>voices and words.
>
>On Internet we have shaped a VR world which represents some places of the
>Social Theatre, using
>the plans and diagrams that the architects who had restorated the Theatre
>gave us. So what we
>shaped is a kind of virtual "double" of the Social Theatre!
>
>In this virtual space that you can explore, you will find some
>anthropomorphic figures, the
>"characters" made during the workshop of Piero Gilardi and now suspended in
>waiting
>bubbles. Moving yourself in the virtual space in search of these
>phantasmagorical characters,
>you can give voice to them with a simple click. In this way you will
>activate the "voice" of great
>masters of the theatre (Brecht, Artaud, Copeau...), and their voices will be
>heard in the
>Social Theatre too, in a random combination of remote impulses. Unknown
>surfers of Internet
>will start these readings which people of the theatrical world have
>prepared. They are
>readings about the importance of opening new theatres and new social places
>devoted to
>culture.
>
>The bridge between the inside and the outside, the on-line and the off-line,
>is pure orality, we have
>transitory voices that from the virtual double of the Theatre come back to
>the real Theatre in Alba and
>to their visitors. This passage happens thanks to the action, the
>unconscious ambient direction, of
>unknown remote visitors or cyberspace body.
>
>REMOTE RISONANZE is the first event of RR PROJECT that is research and
>experimentation of
>new theatrical and dramaturgical possibilities linked to a complex and
>hybrid real-virtual dimension.
>The creation of a virtual double or third stage want to continue the
>projectual line of the restoration
>and expansion of the Social Theatre of Alba followed by the architects.
