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.

Save the Date! Performance and Master Class Production Workshop,
25-27 January 2010
Internet2 and the New World Symphony will host a hands-on audio/video production workshop on 25-27 January, 2010, on the campus of the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, Florida. The workshop will include demonstrations, real-time experience connecting with remote sites over Internet2 advanced networks, collaborating and developing international partnerships and projects, and setting up incoming and outgoing audio and managing echo, creating a multi-camera shoot, placing lights and projectors and operating a variety of hardware and software codecs. We will explore in depth the elements needed to do everything from simple one-on-one interactions to larger scale stage productions, and will give participants an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with codecs and network testing tools, discuss dealing with variable bandwidth issues and the administrative and economic requirements to implement production.

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 partnered with TERENA to hold this workshop for the first time internationally. The workshop was held on 13-15 July 2009, hosted by GARR in cooperation with the Music Conservatory of Trieste, in Italy.
Workshop highlights included 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.
