More details on the performances are described here: http://www.idmaa.org/idmaa2010/2010-featured-performance-event/ .

This special event is organized and produced by the University of Florida's Digital Worlds Institute in collaboration with the Emily Carr University, the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Organic Motion of New York, ZeroCSeven of Japan, IOCOM of Chicago and IDMAA 2010 Vancouver.

IOCOM has provided technical resources, software and equipment in support of this event. "When James [Oliverio, Executive Director of Digital Worlds Institute] calls, I know it is going to be a great event and unique use of our software. So, I am always pleased to have IOCOM assist in any way that we can. Digital Worlds pushes the boundaries of real-time collaboration and our software is right there with them," explained Jim Miller, Executive Vice-President of IOCOM. Miller added, "People will be amazed at what they have come up with this time."
