[cma-l] Field Broadcast starts today

[Tamar Millen]

Field Broadcast is a live broadcasting 
network/project/platform/contraption that enables artists to make 
artworks that forge a direct link between the place they are 
broadcasting from and their audience. The broadcasts are received live 
through a downloadable application allowing an event to be dispersed 
through the internet to a global audience.

Artists are equipped with laptops, video cameras and a dongle (mobile 
internet connection) to enable them to make live broadcasts from the 
field. These broadcasts can take the form of streaming video and audio, 
still images, text and virtually anything that can be sent via the 
internet. Live broadcast does not allow for post production or further 
mediation and the environment and the landscape become an agent in the 
work, directly influencing the outcome of the broadcast.

For more information and to download the application see the website.
Broadcasts start today and go on until 3rd August.
