Social Practice

On March 25th, Rebecca Gamble hosted “An Event for Conversation” via the peer-to-peer internet telephone service, Skype. She invited participants to BYOB, pull up a stool, and log on. Following in Tom Marioni’s technologically enabled footsteps, she describes the gathering as

“. . . the first event in a series, for the project ‘An Event for a Conversation’, which celebrates social networking, and explores the social and technological methods we use to communicate. . . . This event will be documented by the participants, through text sent to the artist and through screen grab images of desktops. The conversations themselves will not be recorded.”

So far, the documentation from this raucous virtual pub-crawl* have yet to surface online, but you can find more information on the project blog.
