This document provides details about a collaborative performance between artists located in Prague, Barcelona, Miami, and Nantou, Taiwan. The performance will involve a piano trio in Prague, a dancer in Barcelona, a cellist in Miami, and Seediq Bale dancers in Nantou, who will all perform simultaneously. The performances will be networked in real-time and viewed on a large projection screen in Nantou. The event aims to overcome challenges of networked performances, such as latency, through the use of specialized audio and video transmission software and high-speed networks connecting the four locations.

Introduction
• dQ14 Dancing in SPACE at the 38th APAN meeting in Nantou Taiwan, three continents
networked music and dance performance, joints artists and engineers located across the world
together in real time. The event begins simultaneously on Tuesday 12 August, 2014 at 08:30

Concept
• During the APAN meeting, there have been cyber performances planed and presented by e-
Culture WG. The members of the performance team are trying to find the best solution to
overcome obstacles in performing arts over networks, such as a main-sub relation between
stages and/or actors due to network delay including latency, eye contact with actors, music
synchronization between remote sites, communication with audiences, and so on. One of the
things we try to do this time is a virtual stage which has only a screen including all performers
from remote sites in real-time with synchronized music.

The Seediq is one of the 14 officially recognized indigenes in Taiwan. It belongs to one of the three pan Atayal peoples,
namely Atayal, Truku, and Seediq. The pan Atayal have habituated around the northern half part of Central Mountains
ranging from Nantou to Taipei for thousand years. The pan Atayal people are lived sparsely in a form of tribal settlements.
Their language is one of the Autronesian. Their kinship system is bilateral. The Seediq people are mainly living in Nantou
mountainous area where the famous Sun Moon Lake is located.
Traditionally, the Seediq men, organized by the socio-cultural rule called Gaya (or Waya or Gaga), were responsible for
the warfare and animal hunting. The Seediq women were responsible for weaving, gathering and simple agriculture.
Consequently, the Seediq men were well known by their head-hunting practice.
In anthropological sense, the head-hunting practice became the rite of passage of manhood in Seediq society. The
practice maintained the inner solidarity of Seediq society. It also helped their survival when facing the threat from
surrounding tribes.
The “Seediq Bale” to be performed during the cyberperformance is an artistic presentation based upon their cultural
ideology of being a brave and authentic person. “Sediq” means “person.” “Bale” means “authentic and real.” “Seediq
Bale” means “the authentic and real person.” It is the core value of Seediq traditional cultural world views. Nonetheless,
it is a representation of cultural value and ideology of Seediq society.
The performers are all Seediq youth who are living in Puli township of Nantou. They are from “Yuan-Xing Performance
Group.” “Yuan” means “origins” and “Xing” means “transmission.” That is, they are committed to the transmission and
innovation of traditional Seediq culture through artistic performance. It may seem to be a performance of cultural of
nostalgia. Yet, the performers want to show their strength of survival to the world.

Applications
http://www.ultragrid.cz/en
Software for low latency and high-quality video network transmissions
UltraGrid from Laboratory of Advanced Networking Technologies(SITOLA) is a software implementation of high-quality low-
latency video and audio transmissions using commodity PC, Mac and Linux hardware. UltraGrid uses uncompressed or very low
compression-ratio streams to achieve up to 8K resolution with as low as 100ms end-to-end latency. UltraGrid is used, among others
in areas like collaborative environments, medical cinematography, broadcasting application and various educational activities
http://www.jackosx.com/
Jack (the Jack Audio Connection Kit) is a low-latency audio server, written originally for the GNU/Linux operating system, and now
with Mac OS X support. It can connect any number of different applications to a single hardware audio device.
JackTrip is a Linux and Mac OS X-based system used for multi-machine network performance over the Internet. It supports any
number of channels (as many as the computer/network can handle) of bidirectional, high quality, uncompressed audio signal
steaming.

Syphon is a system for sending video between applications. You can use it to send high resolution and high frame rate video, 3D
textures and synthesized content between Max 5 / Jitter and other applications.
