Cambridge, UK, 2007.
26-27 Apr 2007. As part of the CRUMB Bliss-out Centre at Enter_Unknown Territories new media art festival. The Bliss-out Centre was curated by Sarah Cook and included head massage, tea and cookies, and guest experts. Advice on curating new media art was offered, and people used the games to comment on the content of the Enter conference. Sample comments are below.
CRUMB Bliss-out Centre
Sample game fortunes written by visitors:
Tim. Collaboration comments:
Read more articles about consensus decision making or you’ll always be voted down.
Martyr yourself immediately. No-one will notice but it may offer some small consolation.
Stop looking at your inbox, and pick up the phone instead.
You’re a perfect collaborator. It’s everyone else’s fault.
Almost there, but shorter sentences in offline meetings would be useful.
You’re giving too much. Much more than you know. Selfishness is the answer.
Give way to your inner dictator! The others need bossing around!
You place far too much trust in wikis (+ others to create them for you).
Collective game:
The future of the book is the book. Manu
The future of the book is readers digesting. Beryl
The future of the network is small, insignificant and peer-led. Kelli.
The future of broadcast is implosion. Kelli
The future of art and commerce is delicate and incremental. Bill
The future of the network is user-generated content. Beryl
The future is inflatable, and irrelevant. Joel.
The future of collaboration is theatrical. Beryl
Sarah: What is new media.
It’s a jaquard loom
It’s just stuff
It’s electronic
It’s not necessarily new
It’s not an artefect
It’s disposable ephemeral of different value
It’s Over. You tell me.
