Two pieces were presented at CSUH to inaugurate the newly-formed interdisciplinary Center for Immersive Media (iCIM) and CSUH's presence on Internet2. The first, Exposition: Calpurnia's Dream Obscured by Movement, was a part of Internet2's Fall Member Meeting at the USC's Bing Theatre. The evening at USC consisted of a number of performances, all using features of Internet2. Performers on Exposition were: Scot Gresham-Lancaster (Composer, Performer, and Instrument Designer); Kristen Peralta (Dancer (at CSUH)); Wilson Engel (Dancer (at USC)). Tom Hird scripted the performance, and Bill Thibault provided technical assistance.
Internet2 has a page that includes a streaming video of the performance

The second performance, "New Journey for Four,"
at CSUH used a live audio and video connection with
the iEAR Studios at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.
Performing in this piece were: Pauline Oliveros (Accordian),
June Watanabe (Dancer), Jay Rizzetto (Trumpet), and
Scot Gresham-Lancaster (electronics).
Movies from the control booth:
journey1.avi (3.7MB);
journey2.avi (3.7MB).
The equipment setup was rather complex.
Coordination between CSUH and USC during the first performance was done
over the phone.
Bill Thibault's software
provided real-time data on the dancer's pose.
The Internet2 page
has streaming video of the performance.
