Together Elsewhere[edit]

Summary of the case study and link[edit]

"Together Elsewhere" is a collaborative networking project in which one performance artist from Switzerland and one from Norway perform together for 30 minutes in the virtual space of a live streaming. Before the performance, the spatial constellations, specific objects to be used and other aspects are agreed upon. As a growing resource, "Together Elsewhere" adds each month one live event which is then continued/stabilised as video document – publicly available.

Problems/questions[edit]

  • Reference: How to properly reference artworks and in particular performing arts
  • Copyright: Clarify copyright issues in the field of performing arts (e.g. related rights)
  • Persistent identifiers and metadata: How to ensure longterm findability through cataloguing and indexing practices

Solutions and development[edit]

Even if no free licenses can be granted on videos in Switzerland due to copyright law, such a license is applied in the files and displayed. In addition: the media library covers the costs for the collecting societies and is considering implementing a player that turns video on demand into video with delay so that it can continue to afford to make such content available.
