This document outlines Ivani Santana's presentation on her research group's experiences with networked art in Brazil. Some key points:
- Santana is a researcher in dance and technology who has created several telematic dance works connecting locations in Brazil and internationally since the early 2000s.
- A major turning point was the 2005 opening of Brazil's national research and education network Ipê, which provided high-bandwidth connectivity enabling new telematic art experiments.
- Works discussed include the first Brazilian telematic dance VERSUS in 2005, the international Proyecto Paso collaboration in 2006-2007, and (In)TOQue in 2008 connecting three Brazilian cities.
- Santana's research group explores the artistic

“The intimate space of the subject has been invaded in
various ways in the digital culture. Globalization, through
telecommunication devices, has promoted telematics
exchanges in many spheres: the artistic, the social, the
economic and the personal. Binary data are exchanged
through robust routes on the information
superhighway, whether monetary, medical, theoretical or
conceptual information in the various areas of
knowledge, entertainment, art or of a strictly personal and
intimate nature (which may also be for monetary and
professional purposes). The reconfigured intimacy of the
subject fosters a new understanding of
presence, proximity, and interpersonal relationships.
Telematics is directly responsible for this
reconfiguration, since it promotes technological mediation
of a remote presence.”

"I think there is something expansive about this term, this
metaphor for an imaginary space that exists in, on and
between ‘computational devices’. I like to corral all kinds of
things together in cyberspace; not just computers and
software, but also digital devices such as MP3 players, or
BlackBerrys, or new medical imaging
technologies, cyberpets, digital animations and
simulations of all kinds – and so the list goes on. All these
things, and many more besides, are connected together, in
some way or another."

– Set up of connections between video sources and

– Support for dynamic change of infrastructure

– Monitoring the components of the infrastructure;
- Adapt video formats and rates for different network
conditionsSupport for dynamic change of
infrastructure configuration, that is, live change of

– We developed a tool called "scenario maker" that
allows the definition of the scenarios transition graph;
– Arthron runs the graph in the sense it shows what is
happening and triggers the scene transitions for
changing the infrastructure configuration in an
automatic or manual way.

TELE SONOROUS BODY
Targets:
• To find Telematic Dramaturgies
through sonorities generated by the
remote bodies (at rather than work
with the body image).
• The idea is not to see, but to hear
the other body in the other space.
• Promote an “aural dance” through
networked performance (sound
visualization, at rather than body
visualization)

CONCLUSION:
_ Art promotes new demands,
give new ideas;
_ The networked performance has a specifi way to create
narratives, dramaturgies;
_ It’s important to understand Art not just an aesthetical product
by new technology, but a knowledge in itself that can contribute
to improve the technology (Art or Artists as not a “final users”);
_ We need more interdisciplinary project to promote new
possibilities of art-science-technology, but understanding the
potential of each area.
