participative

7. Multiple media on single broadcast channel
Vs
Multiple media on multiple broadcast channels

13. Artistic infrastructure must work
effectively with the technology
infrastructure.

14. The social media performance spaces were crucial to
the narrative development, particularly different
characters’ voices, and decisions about
how/where/when to reveal the narrative.
Dirty Evangelica: SEE (still photos) and HEAR (via song)
Neutrick Excess: READ (via HSH page)
Trainer Crew: SEE (video & photo) and HEAR (video)
Candy Wrap: SEE (still photo & video), READ and HEAR (video)
The way we ‘speak’ online is its own language, ie to
‘like’ a post on Facebook, is a form of character
dialogue.

18. Artistic infrastructure must work
effectively with the technology
infrastructure.

35. Audience involvement
Passively reading posts on newsfeed
Actively clicking on Vines, photos, music, posts
Interactively commenting on each others’ posts,
‘favouriting’ & retweeting on Twitter
Collaboratively sharing posts on their pages,
inviting friends to like the HSH
Facebook page, using Twitter
handles in their posts (ie. #fallenangels)

37. It’s not just about new environments,
it’s about new kinds of work.
