In collaboration with the Symposium "Science, Culture and Education on Advanced Networks - Internet2" in Chile, the Digital Worlds Institute hosted Visiting Artists from Miami's New World School of the Arts to retell a traditional Chilean folk tale with ethnic musicians in South America and theatrical performers in North America.

As part of an international gathering in northern Chile, conference attendees witnessed an unprecedented cultural exchange between Florida performers and Chilean musicians entitled "Original Seed". Using a traditional South American creation myth, students, faculty and staff in the Digital Worlds (DW) REVE worked with dancers and musicians rehearsing and performing together across two continents in real time. This distributed collaboration was made possible by DW and Reuna's Access Grid installations. Key project personnel included Arturo Sinclair (director), Andy Quay (technical director), Lorena Paola (mask and performance), Ron Edelen (digital art), Patrick Pagano (audio and networking) and James Oliverio (executive producer).
