SMART Project Space presents their new streaming video server that is being=
developed as a web cast channel for video art and art cinema, with changin=
g programs and an on-line collection. An installation presenting the video =
server has been designed by Customr (Hugo Timmermans & Willem van der Sluis=
). In conjunction, two screening rooms will present a selection of video w=
orks that are available on-line. The server hosts works which have been bro=
adcast in the SMART Television programs and/or shown in the screening and e=
xhibition programs of SMART Project Space.
The server can be accessed through our website which has existed for three =
years. It will be integrated in the new Flash site that is currently under =
construction.
To guarantee the highest speed and resolution available, the video server (=
a storage and two streaming servers) is placed on the backbone of the inter=
net. To make the works accessible to a wide on-line audience, the videos ar=
e available for different platforms and in different bandwidths.
In order to protect the copyright of the artist, we have developed the serv=
er in a manner that makes it possible for the viewer to watch the streams, =
but impossible to download works from the site.
After this first phase, in which a large collection of works will be made a=
vailable on our website, the second phase will provide collaborating artist=
's access to our server, enabling them to upload and stream video works fro=
m the SMART Server to their own website or homepage. A basic SMART Homepage=
with a user friendly interface will be provided for those artists who don'=
t yet have an internet presence.
In this manner we wish to develop the SMART Server not only as a web cast c=
hannel and on-line collection of video art and art-cinema, but as a portal =
giving access to and connecting the sites of a selected group of video arti=
sts.
The SMART Video server has been made possible with special funding from the=
Mondrian Foundation and the City of Amsterdam.
