Xtream Activity: D.R.O.I.D

23rd February 2008

Second Life is a phenomenon, a 3D virtual world where your avatar buys from, sells to and interacts with other avatars from all over the world. But what do these avatars know of 1st Life, the World in which most of us reside?

Our second activity aimed to breakdown those barriers between, and celebrate the great diversity inherent in, both digital and analogue worlds by throwing a single party in which all our invited to participate. Video screens installed in both the first and second lives gave audiences on both sides of the screen a glimpse of life on the other side, a little like Alice Through the Looking-Glass. Follow the White Rabbit Neo!

1st - 3rd June 2007

Back adter a year off, XtreamLab flung themselves into three days of simultaneous high-bandwidth streaming made up our activities at the Venn fesitival, which straddled the end of May and beginning of June. Using the city-wide network infrastructure afforded to us by Bristol Wireless, we sent live, quality video between the Cube Microplex and the Croft in real time.

During another two days, using a temporary link to BMEX via the Watershed we streamed live-moxed video content from the Arnolfini to the Cube. Our aim was to experiment with live streamed video production and the use of purely digital medium to send high-definition video content, which prooved to be very successful.

Femelek is an electronic music festival that takes place in Barcelona, Spain produced by women who have the common goal of amplifying the scene for women nationally. It began in 2006 in celebration of International Women's Day at the emlematic Sant Angustí Convent. Without a doubt it is the most important electronic music event that has women as the main protaganists in Barcelona. The event promotes the development and artistic projection of women, no only during the event itself, but also during the entire year with the aim of solidifying the female electronic music scene in Barcelona.
