Dear SPECTRE reader,
I am looking for help in my research for documentation on telecollaborative performance projects.
More specifically, I am looking for video documentation of historical telecollaborative projects such as:
- Stan Vanderbeek, 1970: "Violence Sonata"
- Douglas Davis, 1971-72: "Electronic Hokkadim"/"WTOP-TV"
- Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, 1980: "Hole in Space"
- Electronic Cafe, 1984-1999: Various Teleperformances
- Electronic Cafe, 1992: "Brunch in California - Dinner in France" (historic first trans-Atlantic jam session)
- Roy Ascott, 1983: La plissure du texte
- Roy Ascott, 1986: Planetary Network
- VanGogh TV, 1992: Piazza Virtuale
To my knowledge, none of this recordings (if they exist) have ever been publicly released. If I'm wrong, I would be thankful if you can point me to any available resource.
If somebody has documents of this or similar events, please contact me offlist.
I am gathering this material for an overview on telecollaborative projects that will accompany a workshop focussing on the same topics. It will serve as a historical and theoretical setting in a field where the fast evolving technology has a tendency to vanish without leaving much traces (except in the memories of the persons involved).

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
