The dangerous computer and the fearless kids http://www.taggingart.org/2008/01/190108-the-dangerous-computer-and-the-fearless-kids/ http://www.taggingart.org/2008/01/190108-the-dangerous-computer-and-the-fearless-kids/#comments Sun, 20 Jan 2008 13:35:39 +0000 Iben Bentzen/Iben Auer http://www.taggingart.org/archives/109 Adults have a tendency of standing in a distance of 2 meters from the computers in the exhibition of Virtual Moves waiting for something to happen. The kids go directly to the computers and start pressing the keyboard and enter the art pieces in SL fearlessly. A boy of around 6 years came back for the exhibition three times and in the end I had him assisting me showing the adults how to do. Common for the adults is that when you first introduce them to the project they have a lot of comments and thoughts about SL and the artistic experience. You just need to trigger the child in them and they start playing.
Amount of visitors: 70.

The group consists of 5 students Line Røjken, Maja Nydal Eriksen, Naja Nielsen, Gylle Laila Svanholmer, and PhD. Student Nina Poulsen. The group has a wide variety of competences within performance studies, anthropology, art history and new media. From Tuesday to Sunday one person from the RealityHUB will be present in the Virtual Moves exhibition in SL and in FL at Statens Museum for Kunst to guide you through the exhibition, answer your questions and help you make an avatar. After each day the RealityHUB will write a comment on the blog on observations done during the day.

Last week Tagging Art did two marathon interviews in SL. Susan from MetroXpress made a 2 hour long interview with each of the artists and skipped to write a shot note in the Friday section in order to make a longer article about it this coming week. Rasmus from Politiken also made a long interview with most of the artists and we are looking forward to read his article too. It was great to follow the two journalists doing interviews in this for both of them new way through an avatar in SL. If you Susan and Rasmus are reading this, how was it for you to do interviews in SL? What were your experiences?

We are looking forward to read your articles.
Thanks to Anne for her great effort in contacting and inviting the journalists to come.

Thank you for your participation at the launching. It was so great to see and hear you whether you were present in SL or in FL. I am so glad that all of you showed up, and I am saying this on behalf of the whole Tagging Art group. Love to you all.

From the physical perspective I can say we really enjoyed. It was extremely hot, the champagne was bubbling and the talking was loud in the rooms at SMK. Anne has estimated that there were about 160 people in FL. Who has an idea of how many were present in SL?
How do you think the opening went? Should we do it same way next time or do you have suggestions on other ways of doing these launchings?

Since this was the first launching, we think that also attracted a lot of people. But we hope a lot of people will also show up for the next launchings. We will do everything we can to attract people and we want to encourage you to do the same by telling your colleages and friends about it.

I was at the Statens Museum for Kunst yesterday and about 70 people came visiting. Today I was there instructing RealityHUB in how to address people, things to say, how to turn on the exhibition etc. Just the few hours I was there a lot of people showed up. Also it is fun while introducing the stuff and visiting an art piece and the suddenly one of you log in to SL. That explains the questions asked to you.
Though most of you seem very busy when you are there building and working on your piece. Would you prefer not to be disturbed?

Again thanks a lot.
