I2 Conference

Just finished up a presentation on “The Adding Machine” with George Brown and colleagues from the department of information resources and technology. The I2 conference was very interesting and there were lots of uber-smart folks who were into networks, packet switching and assorted high-bandwidth applications. It was actually quite humbling to be around so many pioneers in the field and to get an idea of how amazing the network is and what is coming down the pipe (no pun intended). We co-presented with members of the Philadelphia Orchestra and they were doing some very interesting work with H.264 and hi-def transmission and that is an area that we definitely want to get into. The scalable nature of the codec portends good things for us and will be a focus of research over the next few months as we consider technology and approach for our next creative effort that is codenamed, “Voices.” More to follow on that!
