Description:
Bit Torrent, Bring Us Together!
@ Travelers and Record Sound System (403 SW 10th Ave @ Stark St.)
Thursday, Sep. 28th 2006 - 5pm
Portland, Or.

Bit Torrent, created by Bram Cohen, and released to the public in 2002, enables multiple persons to share information with one another "directly", and simultaneously. The directness of the sharing of this information is nearly invisible. With peer to peer file sharing one may never know who they received the information they were seeking from, all they know is that there are like minds out in the world, and they are gathering together towards a cumulative knowledge base. The similarities present between Bit Torrent file sharing and the democratic voice are overtly apparent - like minds are available, they are talking. It is up to the individual to harness the power of those like minds and accentuate those voices in unison for the strength of the community as a whole.

For Bit Torrent, Bring Us Together! Colin Beattie and Sam Gould have create a process oriented dance piece that requires the publics active involvement to play itself out to conclusion - to positive, or negative, results depending on that very involvement. Bit Torrent plays out with individuals serving the roles of Peers, Files, and Trackers, illustrating in real time the correlation between the framework of democratic voice/action, and the Bit Torrent process.

Join us, take part in the role you were born to play!
