This document describes an experimental presence production between Lillehammer, Norway and Toronto, Canada during the Norwegian Festival of Literature in 2008. It involved using telepresence technologies like video codecs and IP networks to connect physical spaces and audiences in each location while allowing participants in one place to interact virtually with those in the other. The production required extensive pre-production planning and setup of the technical infrastructure to enable a shared virtual performance space across the international locations in real-time.
