UpStage is an open source platform for cyberformance: remote performers combine images, animations, audio, web cams, text and drawing in real-time for an online audience. All you need is a web browser!
121212 UpStage Festival of Cyberformance
Marking a turning point in what has become an annual event, 121212 is the last year that we can use this date format, and also this year we hope to see the launch of a new engine for the UpStage platform, DownStage, extending the possibilities of what we can do. We are also opening up the festival to artists creating cyberformance in the many interesting platforms as well as UpStage.
