TribLIVE.com: Audience participation from afar is highly suggested for this performance.
Carnegie Mellon University’s Exploded Ensemble will play a live concert at 7 p.m. Sunday on Twitch.tv, a livestreaming platform for gamers that has become a virtual vehicle for other interactive events.
I absolutely love this! The fact that this group already has experience working in different ways and unique situations makes them a great vanguard to new media. If I was asked to work on a project with this team I would jump at it.
My brain immediately goes to the challenges they must have faces in order to make the event a success. The musicians being around the globe brings up so many issues of synchronicity and lag. If the event is live then working with all of this on the fly doubles the challenge of even calling it correctly.
Also I wanted to know more about the music playing robot as well as how the audience is able to interact with the performance with likes.
Any new medium or interesting challenges immediately make me curious. Theatre is wonderful and will be a part of our world until the last human dies but new ways of communicating or telling the human experience will be the next frontier.
First of all, I had no idea this was happening. As a student that attends Carnegie Mellon, and is active in the arts scene, I am surprised I have not seen anything about this floating around yet. Second of all, it is another live stream! I posted a comment on a separate article talking about the benefits of streaming something that cannot be socially distanced, and this still reigns true. Also the fact that this piece is interactive is even better. Finding new ways to perceive and host art is becoming increasingly more interesting as quarantine continues. I visited the Exploded Ensemble Twitch page but their VODs are not longer than 30 seconds. If this was a full concert, as I expected it to be from reading the article, then those videos are nowhere near long enough. I really hope that they post clips of this piece on there because I really want to see how it turned out.
