InterPlay: Intransitive Senses



InterPlay: Intransitive Senses
 is a multimedia, multi artist 
performance transmitted over Internet 2, experienced both live and on 
the Internet. This is Another Languages first performance of this type. 

InterPlay: Intransitive Senses
, will take place on April 19, 2003, 
7:00 P. M. MST (1:00 GMT) at University of Utah Intermountain Network & 
Scientific Computation Center Auditorium, 155 S 1452 E. It will feature 
performances by Alex Caldiero, Harold Carr, Flavia Cervino-Wood, Beth 
Miklavcic, Hanelle Miklavcic and directed by Jimmy Miklavcic. This new 
work includes four simultaneous events by local performers. The audience 
can experience the event in several ways. They may attend and experience 
each of the live performance events, view the video streams at any of 
the Access Grid sites, or view them online with their home or work 
computer. For additional information, go to 
http://www.anotherlanguage.org/interplay or call 801.585.9335.

Performance Description
The four performance events are simultaneously captured, mixed, 
digitized and encoded into video data and are streamed onto the network 
with the use of a multimedia communications workstation. The four 
streams are received by a similar workstation or personal computer and 
displayed on the screen. The Director manipulates each video stream to 
appear in any of the four video playback windows similar to Windows 
Media Player or Apples Quicktime Player. This creates a work that takes 
four individual stories and weaves them into a multi layered distributed 
tapestry. Each artist has his/her thought process that leads to his/her 
artistic performance. The director moves that into another level by 
taking those performances and incorporating them into his own thought 
and creative process. There will be two types of viewers, local 
audiences experiencing the live event and remote audiences watching the 
four video streams either projected on a large screen in an auditorium 
setting or on a personal computer. Online viewers will need a minimum of 
a DSL or cable modem connection. The performance will also be available 
at a later date, on the website, www.anotherlanguage.org. Audience 
members will find a unique view of the diverse artistic culture that 
thrives in Utah. Another Language believes that creating more 
opportunities to present artistic ideas attracts and develops a new 
audience.

Internet 2
Internet 2 (I2) is a recently activated network parallel to our current 
internet, connecting all the major universities, colleges and research 
institutions throughout the United States, Asia, Australia and Europe. 
No commercial network traffic is routed through this network making it 
the perfect high speed infrastructure for video/audio transmission.

Access Grid
A new technology for multimedia communications, called the Access Grid 
Node, has been established by Argonne National Labs to assist 
researchers in collaborations with colleagues in other areas of the world.
The University of Utahs Center for High Performance Computing has 
implemented an Access Grid system. Another Language has been given the 
opportunity to use this technology to create new artistic works and 
eventually collaborate with other artists around the world.

Another Language

Another Language Performing Arts Company is dedicated to creating a 
forum for exploration in art and technology. Founded in 1985, Another 
Language is known for forging new ground and stretching the boundaries 
of artistic expression and has always been on the cutting edge of 
presenting performing arts in Utah. In 1995 the organization was the 
first in Utah to recognize the potential of using the Internet as a way 
to create and perform multimedia works. Another Language believes that 
www.anotherlanguage.org is more than just a website. This technology is 
used as a venue for creative pursuits and educational enhancement. The 
use of computer and video technology serves to enhance and increase the 
exciting statements that can be made through the arts. Founders Beth 
Miklavcic and Jimmy Miklavcic present and display a series of new 
digital paintings, animations, writings, music compositions and video on 
Another Languages website. The website is updated regularly with many 
historical photographs and posters of concerts, dances and events from a 
long history of creativity. The site also features Beth Miklavcics 
latest explorations into 3D animation and imagery, 
Surreal 
Environments.
 At the same time anotherlanguage.org receives more that 
20,000 visits each month from students of Utah schools, residents 
throughout the entire state, as well as, viewers from across the world, 
all for free.
