Pete vision mixing Jennifer Taylor's performance 'Exolaris' for a live broadcast from Foundations Gallery in London.

The Covid 19 pandemic, and the lockdown’s that resulted in the effort to protect the public from infection, brought people to their desktops and laptops to meet and communicate in ways they hadn’t done at that scale before. Audiences were also unable to visit galleries or attend theatres, so as people were discovering more use from their computers, they used them to find new art experiences and even to participate in art events.

Culture Colony has a live outside broadcasting facility and a studio to record or livestream events and performances.

Live broadcasting includes performance, concerts and theatre, festivals – discussions and presentations, and also presenter led studio broadcasts with remote guests contributing from all over the world.

As venues and arts organisations look for ways to maintain contact with their audiences – and as audiences may be nervous about attending events with large numbers of people (or events are held in spaces with smaller audience capacity) as Covid infection rates remain high – we suggest that event organisers contact us to discuss ways of creating new live experiences, with potentially live audience participation, taking advantage of the service Culture Colony provides.
