Research Presentations

On Thursday [at 12 noon Arizona time] and Friday [at 7 pm Arizona time], 27 and 28 July 2000, the public is invited to view the research outcomes of the Cellbytes project either by joining us in either of the two spaces and / or accessing us via the rehearsal web streams.

If you need to check your time zone relative to Arizona time check this World Time Zone site).

These presentations are not finished performances even though certain conventions of the performing and broadcast arts are used to facilitate and frame them. In the interest of transparency, the audience has been given the option of reading some minimal information beforehand regarding the electronic processes and connectivity that will be at play in the fabric of the Cellbytes, as well as some insight into some of the choreographic starting points and processes behind the work. For further discussion and feedback, there was a question and answer session after the presentation.
