http://cheerleader.yoz.com/2002/06/the-equator-project.html I came here to apologise and eat biscuits, and I'm all out of biscuits Fri, 25 Nov 2016 14:37:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.29 http://cheerleader.yoz.com/2002/06/the-equator-project.html#comment-11 Thu, 11 Jul 2002 20:26:54 +0000 http://cheertest.yoz.com/?p=18#comment-11 Hi
I am in the process of programming b.there forum for creative convergence 2002 and would love to hear your thoughts on who and how to make the event most useful.
Todays convergence is not only between technologies, it is between everything. Boundaries are blurring. Old distinctions are dead.
Working in separate arenas leaves us unaware of new technical possibilities leaving our creative canvas unnecessarily limited. Future creativity will be about a convergence of ideas.
The b.there forum will be a space where creatives, both from inside and outside the media industries and the world of science can share work, knowledge bases and brainstorm with each other and cultural theorists about what creative possiblities the near future will bring.
b.tv”s ‘b.there’ forum has the unique role of synthesising, interweaving ideas from seemingly disperate disciplines and bodies of knowledge. We hope that this sharing of expertise between different sectors will allow the freedom to travel further into future experiment by extending creative palettes.
This years gathering will be themed around *play* – not consul, shoot-em-up, sit in a darkened room kind of games, but *play*, an almost childlike *wonder – what – if ness* triggered by an accelerated momentum and dizzying transformations in this networked age.
Play
that might help us to comprehend the rapidly changing world we live in
that provides a unique opportunity to experiment and to test ideas without taking commercial responsibity
as a means through which we explore new worlds, where we can be whoever or whatever we want to be. (Some obvious links to virtual worlds, avatars and immersive environments there :-))
that helps us separate fantasy from reality, science fiction from science fact.
Really look forward to hearing from you soon
