Web 2.0 marks a new era in Internet practice where the spirit of the new digital technology is to create an atmosphere of creative exchange and sharing of ideas, resources, and content development.
Internet2 is a consortium of institutions that are exploring leading edge ideas in the use of multiple site sharing for purposes of scientific and artistic development. Projects are defined and produced, usually within time specific constraints, since I2 exchanges are based on high speed broad band connections that move data along the I2 highway with little or no traffic or impediments. This affords a multichannel approach of sending several channels of audio and several channels of video that can be freely edited, mixed, and processed by the partipants of the project, creating new and different experiences at each site from the same resources.
From a communication and artistic standpoint, Internet2 emerges with characteristics of a new medium, containing powerful possibilities for multimedia production, imaginative new forms and structures, and collaborative processes that form new relationships and practices among artists, scientists, theorists, technologists, and digital multimedia creators.
