From the real world, to web.

Writing down three or four sentences, and then reading those sentences to everyone else in our tute, we had to share our idea. The same idea from last week, so for Dom and I we had to write down and share our "Perf-Art idea". We got the response that we were hoping for when everyone heard what we had called it.

This also meant that we got to hear other people's ideas which was great because we have a better idea of what page everyone's on.

In addition to simply writing down what we had come up with last week, we had to 'classify' what our idea is. Mobile, web, film, or real world. Because ours is a live, physical thing it falls into the "real world" class.

What then had to be done though was we had to swap our idea with someone else, and David would give us a new class that we had to change this new idea into. Or incorporate it in to that class somehow.

Dom and I swapped ideas with Karl, and I think I understood what his idea was. I probably will not do it any justice at all describing it because I won't know the write words to describe it, or its correct functions. BUT, from what I understood it's one device where you can plug in multiple musical instruments in order to tune them, and essentially play... (I think...) instead of using multiple amp's, etc...
So this idea is a real world idea, from what I understand a pretty cool real world idea, and David asked Dom and I to turn it into something that is web based.

What does the internet do best? It connects people. So we thought we'd take that very aspect of the internet to incorporate into this nifty little device. In fact we decided not to change the idea of the device at all, simply allow it to connect to the internet, and so other people on completey different parts of the globe who have the same device can connect it up to the internet. This essentially will allow people to play as a complete in-tune band, at the same time, while being thousands of k's away.

I LOOOOOVE how Karl turned our Perf-Art idea into something that is web based. Here are his exact words.

"The art is consumed via the web (application). The audience reaction is monitored (eg. filmed by webcam, sound recording, a musical input decide, or measure brainwave activity) which is then uploaded to the site and collaborated with other audience reactions to create a new piece of art (eg. iTunes visualiser from sound). THAT is then consumed and it continues to evolve!"

So it's like a great big cycle of art, that keeps on going.
I LOVE IT!
