Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow from Furtherfield.org will demo 
VisitorsStudio and introduce participants to its (easy-to-use) tool-set 
and features. Using your own files (bring jpg, mp3, swf, flv under 200k) 
or harvesting files from the net, you can work with others to create and 
distribute mixes and remixes. The day will end with a live online 
performance by all participants.

VisitorsStudio (Furtherfield.org 2003-) is an networked, many to many, 
real-time art project created and distributed live in real-time across 
the Internet. Participants link together at the same time and mix and 
remix audio-visual files. The VisitorsStudio artware is also an 
always-on, open, social space. As they work together, live conversations 
between participants (identified by their moving cursor arrows) become a 
part of the performance- along with comments and heckling from the audience.

Through VisitorsStudio Furtherfield.org explores the ongoing expressive 
and communicative processes of human beings collaborating in new ways in 
this context, as active agents in the production of the cultural landscape.
