About Transmittance
===================

Transmittance explores collaboration which is local, global, networked
and broadcasted. It involves an artistic group of performers, visual
artists, musicians and computer programmers to research performative
possibilities of streaming, broadcasting and telepresence forging new
types of performance and audience. With focus on critical and
socially-aware artistic languages this work is based on asking
questions about body, self and society - opening non-dualistic
perspectives.

The project tries to rethink the notions of spectatorship and
spectacle, ways of watching and seeing and the audience as spectators
from the outside. In framework of free telepresence technologies it is
a quest to open new spaces of visibility for performance and new media
art and while critically deconstruct also actively bypass power
structures that have a hold on physical spaces of artistic
representation.

Emphasis is made on creative use of free and open source software and
its impact on artistic process and collaboration. Local free software
experts, media activists and theoreticians are invited to initiate
discussion on ethical aspects of information technology, art and media
to motivate a better understanding of technological possibilities for
artists and performers and encourage appreciation of artistic approach
by programmers and technologists.

The project develops a specific method of improvised performance which
allows compositional freedom beside specific prepared scenes at the
same time and in the process collide different specifics of various
artistic media (performance art, expanded cinema, sound art, new media
realities). 

Transmittance is proposed by Maja Delak & Luka Prinčič and is available
as research, educational and/or performance model including a
preparation time and performance event that is streamed on-line.
