The cyberformance “Machine Divas” will be presented in UpStage and at 
the Kunstraum Niederosterriech, Vienna, on Thursday 23rd at 8pm European 
time (find your local time here <http://tinyurl.com/ns3aoh>). The live 
link to the stage will be here: http://www.upstage.org.nz 15 minutes 
before show-time (if you don't see the link, refresh your browser).

what does a machine diva look like?
does she have a soul?
are her friends electric?
is she just after our robots?
does she control this machine?
would she make a good girlfriend?
does she have a tail?

This is the result of a week-long workshop as part of the IMA Salon, 
16-23 July in Vienna. The workshop, led by Helen Varley Jamieson, is 
exploring the theme of “Machine Divas” through the medium of 
cyberformance - live online performance. The workshop participants and 
creators of the performance are Sara Schmidt, Julia Groeblacher and Eva 
Ursprung, with Suzon Fuks online and contributions from Marlena 
Corcoran, Annie Abrams and Miljana Peric. Thanks to Regina Lercher, 
Elisabeth Schimina for organising the workshop; to Reiner Kack for 
technical support, coffee and chocolate; and to Kunstraum for letting us 
play in this great space.

The performance will be followed by a discussion that will be streamed 
via Ustream, at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/machine-divas.

Machine Divas is an ongoing research and networking project initiated in 
2007 by Eva Ursprung and Andrea Sodomka, to investigate woman artists 
using technology for their work in nowadays expanded “theater space“.
