PROJECT
DESCRIPTION 		Art Dirt Im-Port is a communication hybrid. Using simple Internet systems such as CU-SeeMe, RealAudio, Chat windows and good old phone calls artists are invited to send/perform/interface with Art Dirt. The concept is to mix a mass media format (talk show) with two-way interactive art performances. The world is in the ecstasy of communication.

The MIT List Center presentation will be:
Screen 1: Art Dirt logo and RealAudio player
Screen 2: One or more CuSeeMe windows
Screen 3: Pseudo Chat text screen
Screen 4: Local video of PORT or full-screen view of remote interview.
If there are guests at MIT they will phone in from the gallery and use the CUSeeMe cameras.
