Electronic Cafe InternationalSatellite Arts Project
"A Space With No Geographical Boundaries,” 1977
Objective: To demonstrate (for the first time), that several performing artists, all of whom would be separated by oceans and geography, could appear and perform together in the same live image (The image as place). Everyone would see themselves all together, standing next to each other, able to talk with each other, and alas, perform together -- "A performance space with no geographic boundaries".

• ART-COM was a multi-disciplinary laboratory at Loyola Marymount University in which graduate students used performance as the mode of investigation to study and comment on their experiences of "living in" a composite-image space. Students also explored performing everyday tasks, and collaborative problem solving, and theatre skits mimicking life situations with their fellow students who were at a remote site on campus.
