KeyWorx
KeyWorx is a multi-user cross-media synthesizer: a distributed application that allows multiple users to generate, synthesize and process images, sounds and text within a shared realtime environment. As an instrument it allows communities of performers to dynamically control and modify all aspects of digitized media in a collaborative performance.
Scratchworx
The Scratchworx console developed by Waag Society together with EMMA students of the Utrecht School for the Arts enables high school students to make live performances working with their own pre-produced still images, text text messages, audio and video files. The console -- a custom made media manipulation desk that resembles a battle station straight out of Star Trek -- has been used in a number of different settings (schools, workshops, summer schools, parties) to explore the creative potentials of groups of young adults. Scratchworx runs on the KeyWorx software.
Quicktime Broadcaster
QuickTime Broadcaster is Apple’s free encoding software that enables you to produce a live streamed event.
UpStage
UpStage is a web-based venue and tool for artists to compile different digital media for textual and audiovisual communication into a realtime, live performance for online audiences.
