Why Bother – live video streaming from artists' studios

During the autumn of 2005, Localmotives will be organizing a project 
which aims to stream live video imagery from several artists' working 
spaces (aka «studios»). The project is named Why Bother and will be 
produced in collaboration with i/o/lab and Atelier Nord. The video 
streams will be part of localmotives' 11th themed publication. The 
publication is titled 1:1 and will be physically manifested at Rogaland 
Art Centre (Rogaland Kunstsenter) from the 15th of September to the 27th 
of November.

We would like to get in touch with artists who already enjoy a high 
bandwidth connection to the internet, and would like to participate in 
Why Bother. You don't need to know a lot about video streaming. We will 
provide the technical assistance to make things work.

There are no million euro cheques to win here, but on the other hand you 
won't have to behave like an ass. We expect you to do the things you'd 
usually be doing, and you don't have to be in front of the camera all 
the time. It doesn't matter whether your working space is a desk, a 
corner of your livingroom or a good old studio.

We hope to gather participants from a geographic area as possible. The 
live streams from the various studios will be displayed in steady 
rotation on monitors in the exhibition room at Rogaland Art Centre.

Interested? Get in touch with:
