[spectre] Performance broadcast festival

[Benjamin Bailey de Paor]

> Dear friends and colleagues,
> 
> Now entering its third year, this  international exhibition of live, networked performance-based works  transmitted via the internet and projected in real time at multiple venues throughout the U.S. and around the world. Low Lives 3 promises  to be the farthest reaching to date with over 20 presenting partners in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, Germany, India, Tanzania, Brazil and Japan. 
> 
> Low Lives examines works that critically investigate, challenge, and extend the potential of performance practice presented live through online broadcasting networks such as Ustream. tv or Livestream.com. These networks provide a new alternative and efficient medium for presenting, viewing, and archiving performances. Low Lives is not simply about the presentation of performative gestures at a particular place and time but also about the transmission of these moments and what gets lost, conveyed, blurred, and reconfigured when utilizing this medium. Low Lives embraces works with a lo-fi aesthetic such as low pixel image and sound quality, contributing to a raw, D.I.Y. and sometimes voyeuristic quality in the transmission and reception of the work. 
> 
> Artists working in any media are invited to submit proposals for performance-based works. All proposals will be reviewed by a jury made up of curators and directors from the following institutions:
