Joint research intensive led by shinkansen and ResCen, held between 23 July - 5 August 2001, at Trent Park, Middlesex University, London.

A three week research residency exploring virtual and physical body interactions and involving 28 artists gathered at Middlesex University, London. This was the third residency in a research programme exploring the evolving interactions of digital technologies and the performing arts. The focus is on the live performing body in (remote) connection with other live performing bodies via internet transfer of audio visual data.

The CellBytes research programme was initiated by shinkansen to extend ongoing investigation of the body, presence and telematics. CellBytes exist on the web beyond the life of the research project, as archival evidence of the live performance with resonance of human presence in the moving images.

Funding and support: ResCen (Middlesex University), shinkansen, Arts Council of England, Future Physical (East England Arts/shinkansen), London Arts, NEST Tokyo and Pinnacle Systems.
