Art Dirt Im-Port was a communication hybrid. Using simple Internet systems such as CU-SeeMe, RealMedia, Chat windows and good old phone calls, artists were invited to send/perform/interface with Art Dirt by remote over the internet. The concept was to mix a mass media format (talk show) with two-way interactive art performances. The MIT List Visual Arts Center presentation format included:

Screen 1: Art Dirt logo and RealAudio player
Screen 2: One or more CuSeeMe windows
Screen 3: Pseudo Chat text screen
Screen 4: Local video of PORT or full-screen view of remote interview.
guests at MIT phoned in from the gallery and used the CUSeeMe cameras to be included in the mix
