This follows first experiments with mobile streaming carried out by the Aether team in October 2009 during their Berlin residency, and on March 26th during a performance in the frame of Pixelache festival.

The streaming is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. CEST (GMT+2) and will last approximately until 7 p.m.

The transmission will include live footage of the “Celestial Hopscotch”, a scenographic happening that will be carried out on the outskirts of Art Basel by French artist and zerographer Frank Ancel (at approximately 5 p.m.).

Quoting Franck Ancel: “At the Universal Exposition of Paris in 1900, Loïe Fuller danced under the flag of its electricity pavilion. [I offer] the chance for everyone to design their own virtual Pavilion, to “dance” on the ground of world cities, a hopscotch grid already present on five continents where the land becomes zero and the sky infinite.” A first Celestial Hopscotch grid has been drawn on May 19 in rue de l’Exposition, Paris. The final one will be performed in Shanghai, just before the closing of the 2010 World Fair.

A presentation about the conceptual and technical developments resulting from a residency at agence TOPO.

Exploration of landscape possibilities of telematic performance as well as aether9′s new PD Patch and Wiimote control options.

Update: A screen capture (of remote aether9 members projected during the presentation) recorded by Cym has been published:

Duration: 34 min.

see WII interface with pd patch on small screen … mobile setup all systems go… except for the internet connection (next step). we have all interface info and controls visible on tiny screen – chris says even a full fledged GUI and self-destruct mechanism.
(its all really really alpha stage – dont try this at home ;)

A fragment of the performance, recorded by Paula Vélez:

About Camp Pixelache –
In 2010, Kerava Art Museum will be one of the main venues of Pixelache, the electronic art festival that has been organised since 2002; the other venue is Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. In Camp Pixelache, the museum will be taken over by Finnish and international media art professionals who, in an atmosphere of playful experimentation, will lead the audience into the fascinating world of electronic circuits and information technology. The one-day programme will include workshops, discussions and seminars.
