Suggestions:

• Guy Garnett

- aesthetics

• Johannes Birringer

- I would be delighted if you were willing to include a slightly stronger
presence of "physical performance/dance experimentation in new
media/technologies and interactive designs and online/telematic
performance creation" in the wording of your foundational statement, and
perhaps the issue of <<generally accepted principles and theories
relating to.... designing and performing with interactive systems>>
could be opened up for discussion, since some of us working in
experimental media may think differently about the formulation of
principles.  Above all, however, I wish to express my interest in this
venture and in the cross-communications we could achieve, which is most
valuable. Many of us in the performance arts work with musicians and
composers, not all of us develop our own software but we invent new
instruments of expression too.  Yet we sometimes are involved in
different communities or address different audiences, and there is much
to be gained from cross-fertilization, sharing, exchanging.

I also want to mention that there are efforts by some of us in the
dance-technology area to create brainstorming meetings about
connectivity and telematic performance/research (videoconferencing) - an
effort that is getting under way at ISA (Arziona State) this December,
initiated by John Mitchell.  It could open up future possibilities for
this Working Group, too, and I will keep you informed and share
information.

• Roger Dean

- Computer Interactive Sound and Hypermedia Improvisation

• Jennifer Pearce

- Combining video with sound

• Todd Winkler

-Artistic applications for multimedia performances and installations.
Specifically, the use of interactive video with music/sound, dance
systems, and issues of audience participation in installation systems.

• Martin Gotfrit

- My own work is now focussed upon music generating software. The key
issue is the distillation of the multitude of parameters which the
software requires into a few meaningful and expressive controls
suitable for a live performance. Also of importance is placing the
control of the system somewhere between didactic one-one mapping and
more obscure or less perceptible relationships.

• Robert Rowe

- I am attaching the reference list for my new book Machine Musicianship
that will appear from the MIT Press later this year. I thought it might
be useful for starting a list of resources for this group.

• Robert Wechsler

- Intiate contact with dance community via dance-tech internet group.
Set up a site for thematic "overlap" issues such as gesture interface,
systems of mapping, sensors and so on.  My idea is a site which consists
of re-postings only (from the respective interst groups).  some
discussion has already taken place on this idea.

- Control of realtime video
 
• Johannes Birringer

- I propose to initiate a discussion on "control and live mix in
interactive design environments."  (in the subgroup on dance &
technology).
 
• Daniel Oppenheim

- Bringing interaction into 'off-line composition'
 
• Christopher Dobrian

- Motion tracking, motion capture, realtime DSP

Comments:
Working with different systems of motion tracking and motion capture,
especially with dance-generated music, including video tracking software
such as VNS and BigEye, and the Vicon motion capture system (with realtime
capabilities). Affiliations with Cycling '74 (Max and MSP) and Vicon (Vicon
8RT). Interested primarily in exploring aesthetic considerations of using
such systems for music performance, and mapping of motion data to parameters
of sound structure, musical structure, and formal musical attributes.
 

• Robert Mulder

- Look forward to this group!

I would also like to see a (vague) connection to extra musical perception i.e. image, physical,
and corporeal gesture.
 

• Joe Paradiso

- Too many subareas for such a small field - most people will want to
overlap several.
 
• Eduardo Reck Miranda

- I am interested in bio-feedback, involuntary musical interaction.
 
• Patricia Martínez

- I am an experimental composer from Argentina, I am Co-Director with the coreographe Eugenia Giudice of LA TUNDA.  We started of work with Dance-Music-Image and Tecnology, after the Workshop of Palindrome this year in Buenos Aires. We are interested in explorate this artistic field. We would like to become part of the working group, and exchange information and experiences. Thanks.

• Jean-Jacques Duclaux

-I would be very happy to be able to join this working group.

I'm working with sensor and max MSP nato for musical instruments, sonic
sculptures and installations.
I'd love to share knowledge.
