VIRTUAL SOUND AND VISION Festival - October 3rd

A day long festival on ustream of performers playing from their home to yours. A very long webstream gig with performers from all over the world. The virtual venue for this event is vsv.kybermusik.net

Virtual Sound and Vision ("VSV" for short) is the first international video streaming music festival, presenting music with visual content to a virtual audience via the world wide web. Using contemporary services for free video streaming, the art is transmitted from the individual artists' performance spaces via the festival site (a truly virtual entity) to the audience, watching and listening from virtually everywhere.

The selection of acts will focus on artists making creative use of combination of audio/video (e.g. live video processing, music played to silent films) and/or internet technology for music art (e.g. realtime internet collaboration).
