The CyPosium invites cyberformance artists, researchers and interested participants to share and discuss past online performances:
What different kind of events happened? What did they make possible? What was special about the event? Why were things done in a certain way and what were the results?
Just like cyberformance, everything will happen online, in real time; all you need to participate is a standard web browser and broadband internet connection.
