The 121212 UpStage Festival of Cyberformance will take place 5-12 December 2012. The festival will feature 38 live online performances created and presented in UpStage and a variety of other online platforms (including Water-Wheel’s the Tap, SecondLife, Visitors Studio and other purpose built networked environments).
The Cyberformance symposium, or CyPosium, will take place on Friday 12 October, 2012, and invites artists, researchers and interested participants to share and discuss past online performances. The CyPosium aims to tackle questions about the different kinds of events that have happened, what was unique about these particular events, what they made possible, why they were done in a certain way, and the results of these decisions.
