About VisitorsStudio The VisitorsStudio is a live multi-user online arena for production, display and discussion of audiovisual, screen based work. Visitors experiment and respond to each others' dancing-cursors and chat, while uploading, mixing and exhibiting their own compositions - still images, mp3 audio and flash animations. The audio visual mix is always live, all visitors see the mix change and develop in real-time as they and others interact - a unique way of communicating across perceptual, social, geographical and linguistic divides on their own terms. The studio has also been used as an interview and performance space with Furtherfield's sister site furthernoise.org for sonic artists and musicians including Jodi Rose [Australia], MikroKnytes [USA] and Scott Taylor, Mr Mutton_deluxe [UK]. Furtherfield's recent retrospective of net.artist Andy Deck [USA] also culminated with a live interview and performance using VisitorsStudio. Already, many artists and media-labs in the UK, USA, Australia, Balkans and Brazil have worked with VisitorsStudio as a global platform for live audio-visual jamming events including Autolabs Tactical Week:end (Brazil) and furtherfield's collaborative response to the Republican National Congress, 'Dissension Convention' featuring over 20 internationally located artists and broadcast live at Postmasters Gallery [NY]. Collaboratively developed by artists, programmers, critics and curators, with significant contributions by audiences new to net art, and members of online art and technology forums, this platform has grown organically in response to their participation. Additions and enhancements to its functionality, usability and communication are made to accommodate and extend the artistic aspirations of its users. Special thanks to Mikroknytes for organising the MULTI-av event and introducing VisitorsStudio to new audiences, we hope you enjoy and look forward to seeing you in the studio. VisitorsStudio is a Furtherfield project concept, programming and
