hi everyone,
i'm a bit hesitant to put my hand up as i'm already pretty busy for the
rest of the year, but having co-organised (along with vicki smith &
others) six UpStage festivals & the CyPosium i can perhaps offer some
useful experience from the organising perspective. the festivals &
CyPosium were online events, all using UpStage until 2012 when we opened
up to other platforms including Waterwheel Tap, Second Life,
Visitorsstudio, & some streaming platforms. we also had what we called
"real life access nodes" or just nodes for short, which were physical
venues from theatres & galleries/museums to art gardens & shop windows &
outdoor projections, which brought the festivals to a wider audience.
i think ian's point about including graphics in order to get broader
participation is valid. for example i'm thinking of the performances
that ethernet orchestra has done with accompanying visuals through the
Visitorsstudio platform (mostly by graziano milano, i've been involved &
others). also for wide accessibility & participation it's important that
the platform(s) used are not dependent on super high-bandwidth or
involved downloading, installing etc new software.
in my experience, a simple text chat tool for the audience is essential
& will generate a whole other performance in itself. audiences usually
want to comment, discuss, respond, & have a presence in this way. the
networked audience is something that i'm very interested in :)
