ART + TECHNOLOGY LAB
Hey all! I just discovered an exciting new project, and request for artist proposals, at Michael’s neighbor LACMA!
Van, I’m interested. Here are the bullet points that I feel most resonate with “us”:
Connection and explorations of portable identities and pseudo-identities
• Distributed experience and storytelling through multi-dimensional user
experience design
• Crowd-sourced information production and human-based computation
knowledge
And here are the questions that I think “we” can best answer.
Is the project artist-led and does it have artistic merit? YES
• Does it produce an interactive experience that can be presented in the
public space of the museum (which may include virtual/online space)? YES
• Does the project suggest models, methods, and/or data that may be of
interest to other artists and technologists? YES
• Does the process proposed by the artist include opportunities to present
demos, prototypes or collaborative opportunities for the public during the
development period? YES
The directions are pretty straight forward. With whoever is interested, we can split up the sections and answer them, or we — whoever is interested — could each write responses, and then we could massage the responses into a single app.

Sounds delicious 😉 Thank you for the invitation to hangout. I’m really sorry that I can’t join in today. I hope you have a good meeting and I look forward to hearing how things go.

Hi all! Links here to my very early google hangout experiments for the performance (http://foolsfury.org/fury/) that’s happening this weekend. The piece is called “The Seeing Place” and is a meditation on Antigone. For this round, we hadn’t created aliases and were all using our own google accounts, so sadly there are no character names attached.
Soldiers

Is an example of a scripted scene; text is from Brecht’s Antigone interspersed with an interview of a contemporary U.S. soldier serving in Iraq. The idea here was to replace my big old headshot with footage (sans audio) of the Creon character giving his edict prohibiting the burial of Polynices.

and 2-1

were both attempts at overlapping texts spontaneously… made very difficult by the audio & video delay on our various internet connections. These also include two observers: one listening in at a local Starbucks, and another roaming the main branch at the SF Public Library. We were interested in what the effect of non-verbal participants would be.
The plan for the performance is to have one (very different) Google hangout that’s prerecorded as one of the scenes in the show, and another live hangout where audience members can see the Antigone character leave the theatre under guard. I will post a link to that Hangout-On-Air! Thanks Vanessa for that excellent suggestion.
That’s very little context for you, but any thoughts or questions are welcome!
