| 8 | InOut is a platform for connected creation of time based art. |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | InOut enables artists to join a Peer-to-Peer channel supplying and feeding audio, video and [control] data. |
|---|
| 11 | It allows for decentralized contributions which are screened at public exhibition places. |
|---|
| 12 | This transaction-art blurs the lines of traditional exhibition, participation and feedback and explores technical impact of communication. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | InOut is real-live: movies, documentations, sounds, collages and abstract visualizations or interpretations. |
|---|
| 15 | InOut provides an abstraction for ready-made, interactive and collaborative pieces just as it provides for feedback in the form of comments, annotations or even re-makes. |

| 17 | #What youtube is to a consumer, InOut is to the active mind. |

| 18 | #What a consumer is to youtube, an artist is to InOut. |

| 22 | Exhibition-spaces are major hubs in the project. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | Localized installations provide interactivity beyond mouse&keyboard, which is not be available to the remote artist. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | The exhibition "hook into" the feed of projects, display artworks with their meta-information |
|---|
| 27 | data-flow, involved artsists. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | To complete the circle of communication and thought, presentation-spaces supplement the exhibition with workshops for artists, hack-spots or feedback devices; |
|---|
| 30 | they don't neccesarily be connected to the artwork(s) on display. We rather envisage a spiral than communication loops. |
|---|
| 31 | Thereby exhibitions become creative hotspots. |
|---|
| 32 | |

| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | The previous exhibition connected Artists all over France with exhibitions and workshops at five different locations all over the country on one day. |
|---|
| 36 | The next step is to extend the range and diversity. |
|---|
| 37 | |

| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | Technically InOut is glue-ware; |
|---|
| 40 | The CMS combining powerful open-standards such as OpenSocial (OpenID, OAuth, XMLRPC), P2P distributed hashing, XMPP. |
|---|
| 41 | A/V Streaming is based on libre codecs eg. FLAC, OGG/Theora/Vorbis, speex, celt using icecast2. With compatibility for Firefox's 3.1 native <video> element. |
|---|
| 42 | Transcoding services and utilities are available for common formats (avi,qt,flv,mpeg) and codecs (flv,xvid,mjpeg,H263/H264). |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | The interfaces of InOut are layered, allowing non-technical people to use high-level functions via a web-interface. |
|---|
| 46 | #building blocks for simple tasks (non linear editing, basic effects (position info->blur) |
|---|
| 47 | #pipelines. |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | Session-Layer: provides user-interface |
|---|
| 50 | Application-Layer: handles log-in, communicates with the server, does the video-rendering/ abstract pipelines |
|---|
| 51 | Network-Layer: all communication. |
