The Arts and Humanities Initiative assists Internet2 members in enabling and advancing collaborations between high performance networking technologies and applications in the arts and humanities.
Under the leadership of Ann Doyle, this initiative focuses on enabling collaborative live performances, master classes, and remote auditions in the performing arts. Outreach is underway to the museum and library community, film departments, and language instruction centers. Partnerships have been formed with vendors to foster development in these arenas, and active working groups are addressing relevant issues in arts and humanities applications over Internet2.

What's New
Performing Arts Production Workshop, 13-15 July 2009 - Trieste, Italy
After seven years of successfully co-hosting the Performing Arts Production Workshop with New World Symphony in the U.S., Internet2 is partnering with TERENA to hold this workshop for the first time internationally. The workshop will be held on 13-15 July 2009, hosted by GARR in cooperation with the Music Conservatory of Trieste, in Italy.
The workshop will emphasize the equipment and staffing requirements for interactive performing arts education, multi-site performance events and high quality netcasting. This workshop targets people in the research and education community who produce performing arts events (academies or colleges of music, dance, arts etc.) and want to explore the possibilities and challenges of using advanced networking and related services in their teaching, rehearsals and performances.
Workshop highlights will include the first presentation of a fully integrated, computerised audio and echo control system, and of LOLA – a low latency audio/video system experiment on high-bandwidth networks. Registration is now open!
The Spring 2009 Internet2 Member Meeting netcast is now available. If you would like to explore the Arts & Humanities highlights from recent meetings, they are available online:
