Abstract

What is the place for Internet Art within the paradigm of remote music performance? In this paper, we discuss techniques for live audiovisual storytelling with the Web browsers of remote viewers. We focus on the incorporation of socket technology to create a real-time link between performer and audience, enabling control of audiovisual media directly within the audiences' browsers. Finally, we describe Plum Street, an online multimedia performance, and suggest that by appropriating Web media such as Google Maps, social media, and Web Audio into the genre of remote audio performance, we can tell stories in a way that more accurately addresses modern life and holistically fulfills the Web browser's capabilities as a contemporary performance instrument.
