> interaXis is an investigation into the possibilities of
> improvisation, form, and presentation in multi-site, network-
> based performance. A group of accomplished composer/improvisers
> and technologists come together to create a dynamic, structured,
> experimental sonic exploration on the web and in real space. The
> live performers in New York and Los Angeles perform with one
> another and musician-web artists, guided by a projected video
> score.
>
> interAxis is:
>
> … a networked performance that connects two physical locations
> via streaming technologies.

> … live improvisation by musicians in real space together with

> Digital Cultures, a two-month exhibition at MIT's List Visual Arts
> Center, organized by artnetwebs' Remo Campopiano and Robbin
> Murphy. Originating from the el.net/ Harmonic Ranch studios in
> lower Manhattan, 'turbulence' > centering around the idea of turbulence >
as live improvisational performers interacted with it at scheduled
> times over the eight week period. The work was made available
> simultaneously on the Internet and in the physical gallery space.

> Beginning in September 1997, NRPA presented the multi-location
> 'Adrift' project (with Jesse Gilbert, Helen Thorington, Marek
> Walczak, Mark James, Jonathan Feinberg, Martin Wattenberg, and
> Hal Eager). 'Adrift' was premiered at the Ars Electronica
> Festival, Linz, Austria; and was subsequently presented at the
> tenth anniversary celebration of Kunstradio, Vienna and at the
> New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City. See

> In 1998, NRPA director Helen Thorington and collaborator Jesse
> Gilbert initiated an online performance project that resulted in
> a series of multi-location musical performances with Harvestworks,
> Inc. and Mills College, CA. Performers included Beth Coleman,
> Jesse Gilbert, Shelley Hirsch, Brenda Hutchinson, Pauline
> Oliveros, Maggie Payne, Zeena Parkins, Jim Pugliese, Scott
> Rosenberg, and Helen Thorington. Two of these works can be found
> online with accompanying visuals by Mary Lucier and Neil Zusman.
