Streaming Media + Live Chat + Multiple Sites + Remote Collaboration
Currently being presented as part of the Mediaterra Festival - Pilot Operating Net programme. SiTE TraNsacT is an online interface representing the UK node of a trans-global project called Transaction. Currently in development, Transaction aims to investigate human relationships in community contexts, set against the now prevalent televirtual and electronically mediated living experience. SiTE TraNsacT presents online video archives, images, text and technical diagrams, in order to trace developments as they occur across three continents. 


Live Chat
Live mediated chat sessions scheduled for September, October and November provide the opportunity for geographically distant collaborators and audiences to collectively experience and participate in the work.
Join the artists and producers of transaction online for discussion and debate. Relevant topics have been outlined below in order to structure the chat sessions. An HTML chat interface has been designed specifically for plugin free participation possible with virtually any specification machine and low speed internet connections.
