Abstract
Research and development of real-time media arts performance and collaboration systems has been underway at the University of Florida Digital Worlds Institute since 2001.These intercontinental collaborations pioneered and developed esthetic, procedural, technological, and logistic practices through working with artists, engineers, researchers, students, and media producers across multiple time zones, classrooms and cultures. Participants, ranging in age from 9 through 72, have instigated, developed, and enhanced international relationships. Given the current availability of robust and scalable real-time video systems in both fixed and mobile devices, the techniques and processes resulting from this original research can now be shared across the globe, democratizing access, collaboration, and inclusion in ways not possible previously.
