[NetBehaviour] Networked Video Performance

[Antonio Roberts]

Is there such a thing as networked video performance? If so, are there
any examples or literature surrounding this topic?

I provide visuals for a band (BiLE http://www.bilensemble.co.uk/). The
six performers are all connected on a local network, sharing messages
over osc and manipulating each others' sounds to create one bigger
sound. In some pieces they each manipulate sounds from a central
source, or server.

Has anything like this been explored with VJing? For example, a number
of VJs each manipulating one thing or working with the same content to
then manipulate it and display it on screen. Or maybe something
else...

Another band/collective I'm in, Freecode
(http://freecodecollective.tumblr.com/), has started to look at this,
but so far only by sending video output from each performer to a
mixer. I feel this kind of collaboration could go deeper!

Any thoughts are welcome
