<p>Another Language Performing Arts Company and the University of Utah
Center for High Performance Computing presents our fourth InterPlay
performance <i>Dancing on the Banks of Packet Creek</i>, directed by
Jimmy Miklavcic, on March 31 - April 2, 2006 at 19:00 MST (-7:00 UTC)
on Friday and Saturday and 16:00 MDT (-6:00 UTC) on Sunday. InterPlay
is a multimedia, multi-artist, telematic, and collaborative art form
that is performed and transmitted over Internet 2 utilizing Access Grid
technology. Invited national and international institutions, artists,
scientists and technologists collaborate and participate with Another
Language in this InterPlay form. </p>
<p> The performance can be viewed by our remote audience through the
Access Grid in the Theater Venue of the ArtGrid Venue Server at <a
href="https:/agvs.chpc.utah.edu/Venues/default">
https:/agvs.chpc.utah.edu/Venues/default</a>. Please enter the Theater
one half hour prior to the performance with the Video Consumer Service
and the Audio Service only. Your audio must be muted and your site must
not send video. Others can view the performance through QuickTime at <a
href="http://www.anotherlanguage.org/interplay/packetcreek">

QuickTime stream will be active fifteen minutes before the performance.
(Note: The QuickTime audience will only see the main video mix.) </p>
<p> <i>Dancing on the Banks of Packet Creek</i> is an exploration into
the tenuous devotion that we have towards the inundating wave of
digital information and non-experiential knowledge. Packet Creek
depicts the Internet with its flow of disassembled pieces of data that
course throughout the world like schools of spawning salmon. Dancing on
the Banks is our ritualistic gyrations that we express as we create,
disseminate, search, and acquire this electronic epistemological
knowledge. </p>
<p> Using the metaphor of fluid motion and dynamics we will portray the
immense amount of this non-experiential knowledge and the influence
that it has on us. The expansive range between truth and fiction or
frivolity and importance are just some creative investigations and
artistic expressions that are explored through music, dance, video,
computer graphics and remote motion capture MIDI control. </p>
<p> Invited national and international institutions, artists,
scientists and technologists collaborate and participate with Another
Language in the InterPlay form. "Dancing on the Banks of Packet Creek"
will be an exciting blend of images and sounds using the Access Grid
Video Conferencing Technology into a Real-time Collaborative
Surrealistic Cinematic Performance. Local live performers will be
joined in this performance by ArtGrid participants from University of
Alaska Fairbanks and the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, Boston
University, University of Maryland, Purdue University and the Envision
Center for Data Perceptualization, and Ryerson University, Toronto,
Ontario Canada. As an Internet2 member connected to the Abilene
Network, the University of Utah provides the network infrastructure and
computing facilities that make the InterPlay process possible.<br>
