All artists need is an encoder (realplayer) - PC for live streaming and then access to a server somewhere to bounce the stream off (this can be pretty much anywhere that can provide it - although probably best if its in the same country just in terms of net congestion). We've been streaming on and off at the Slade since 1997, and recently launched http://not-tv.org which might be interested in being involved in such an event..... What is less straightforward but perhaps more interesting, would be testing out alternatives to the broadcast (one to many) model........and perhaps this might be something that this discussion list might want to get into at some point(?!?) in terms of costs its worth noting that you can download all the software you need for free (although the free realserver does have simultaneous user limits on it of around 50 I think). best wishes Susan Collins Slade Centre for Electronic Media, London UK Simon Biggs wrote: > Julie Lazar wrote: > > The generic topic: what do artists need with regard to > >making streaming media works/event/etc. Any thoughts?
