Some follow up questions...
1. An area of interest
Live performance, both visual and aural.
2. A couple of questions... want or need to know about this area?
Is live performance at odds with the editable/fire-and-forget world of the internet?
What/Is there a divide between new/exciting and familiar/stodgy in creating interfaces to encourage specifically live creativity?
How married is the world to the ability to edit before communicating?
In the increasingly super-savvy/behind-the-scenes aware world, is the illusion of live enough?
3. Identify a method or process...
What happens when in the internet chat/message board community, everything is sent and seen in real time, without the sender having to press the enter key?
- creating a system similar to a common internet piece (bulletin board, chat) that disallows editing
- allowing people to see not only the final output but also the process of the editing of a piece of chat/bulletin board post.
Separating the design of the physical interface from the final output considerations?
- with "gaming the system" so popular, what happens when the separation between the interface and the output ventures into absurdity?
- dancing about architecture!
4. ...actual topics...
Not ‘a game’ or ‘experience’ or ‘interactive film,’ find a subject/setting/character/narrative.
Video game culture
Photography/Photoshop culture
5. Pair your topics with a genre and an audience...
Internet/MMO?
The ultra-internet-savvy of the high school to post-college world.
6. Commit to a term...

Vince! What's up! This is Kemi, Kemi James from Gonzaga (c/o 1999). Remember me? Of course you do! We had taken a few classes together during our time on Eye Street. I spoke to Butto over Christmastime, told me to check out thatcloudgame.com. Congratulations to you and your team for such esteem and awards! I wish you the best and hope that you become big-time @ EA or Microsoft. Please e-mail me whenever you have a chance: hvskjames@aol.com
