I have not experienced this much either -- having missed both Lisa's and
Amanda's events myself. Which is one reason I'm excited about contributing
to BYTES (stephan's project) . But I like the idea I have seen in various
bits and pieces of writing about the net that we may have a chance here to
encourage a form of 'gift' economy (which for me has always been the notion
as proposed by Lewis Hyde). So, the contribution of material as a form of a
'gift' to be used however deemed appropriate, maybe without 'real time'
interaction. This does not quite answer your questions though, better
answered by Amanda/ Lisa, etc, probably who may have actually carried out
such experiments.

This is certainly possible, but we've got a pretty big bandwidth problem on
the net. It's something we were going to explore here in Amsterdam this last
june (before funding dropped out) using a one to one isdn connection,
simultaneous video recording and projection. However, both Amanda and Lisa
were working with cuseeme via the net -- so maybe they will comment.
Looking forward to seeing more ideas re: the remote feast.
