Outside/In (Part I) Access Gridtm Utah Screen
Description:
On December 16, 2003 an ArtGrid experiment lead by director Nadja Masura was held by taking Personal Interface to the Grid Machines (PIGS) outside to broadcast a performance about "Place". Participants were Another Language and the University of Utah, University of Maryland, College Park and The National Research Council, Ottawa, Canada.

Outside/In Part I, was an exploration of "Place" where each participant spoke about the uniqueness of their environment. After each participant spoke, a test to have the performers speak in unison was attempted. Difficulties in having participants speak in unison included echo, latency/delay and cuing. The performers spoke this text: We are outside, coming in. Bringing the (trees, Maryland), bringing the (Arctic, Canada), bringing the (Salt Lake, Utah) into view and into reach...into a shared place.

The event was telematically staged and as the above picture depicts - very cold performing outside in Canada and Utah. Performers were Nadja Masura, Elizabeth Miklavcic and Ken Emig.
