Helen Varley Jamieson's UpStage project now online

A web site documenting the UpStage project is now live at
http://www.upstage.org.nz

UpStage is a software development project that will create a web-based
venue for online peformance and cyberformance (live performance that uses
the internet to bring remote performers together in real time).

Online audiences anywhere in the world will be able to participate in live
performance events by going to a web page - no downloads, no additional
applications needed, just one simple url: http://www.upstage.org.nz

Currently, we are developing the software, which is Flash-based and open
source. UpStage will be launched in October 2003.

The UpStage team are Douglas Bagnall (programmer) and artists Helen Varley
Jamieson, Vicki Smith, Leena Saarinen and Karla Ptacek (Avatar Body
Collision, www.avatarbodycollision.org), with project management support
from MediaLab South Pacific (www.medialab.co.nz).

The project is funded by Creative New Zealand and the NZ Ministry of
Research, Science and Technology.
