Live Feeds, Video, Theatrical Spaces

Marla and I will be talking about live-feeds, real-time systems, and real-life/mixed-reality systems as part of a presentation during Sunday’s make-up class.  I’ve found a range of examples that might be of interest – some involving audiences by tracking their movements (referencing surveillance technologies) while others use live feed as a theatrical device creating media-rich performance environments (below).  Marla has found some projects of interest too which she’ll also share.
