This was part of the workshop I gave at Schaumbad Freies Atelierhaus Graz<\/a>, in April, for our Mobilise\/Demobilise<\/em><\/a> project. I introduced the project, gave a background to cyberformance and my work, and then we started learning how to use the beta version of the new UpStage platform. There were some interruptions in my talk as the projector in the space kept cutting out, which meant that while those viewing the stream (and now the recording) could see everything, the small audience in the room at Schaumbad could not see what I was showing. You’ll see me dealing with this in the recording of my talk, available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cyberformance and UpStage presentation at Recto Vrso<\/strong><\/p>\n This was fun, as the Recto VRso<\/a> festival and conference took place in Laval Virtual World<\/a>, and we presenters were trained in how to operate our avatars and give presentations. Presenting as an avatar, giving a talk about avatar performance to an avatar audience, took me back to the 121212 UpStage festival<\/a>, which included a festival node in Second Life with in-world screenings of UpStage performances. An audience of Second Life avatars watched UpStage performances that were streamed in and shown on a virtual screen.<\/p>\n Update: the catalogue from Recto VRso 2021 is now available to download as a pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n
