grid_lab: social media production and internet presence in art festivals and events

grid_lab is a workshop/open space that is deployed within festivals or art events. It is a place for social media production of news and digital memory/storytelling of the event. The grid_lab participants become the production team as they learn with real artists and collaborate as embedded vloggers within the festival. It an excellent opportunity for collaboration between the venue, the local community and other local actors.

The grid_lab creates a flexible connected space, adaptable for the needs of festival venues, facilitating direct participation of members of the local community as content producers.

grid_lab is a sustainable and collaborative format to produce and distribute networked digital content in the arts. It is geared to leverage the viral power of social media platforms and the new Internet (Web 2.0). It develops strategies and tactics to augment its internet presence, developing audiences and facilitating the generation and distribution of knowledge about art.

These strategies benefit from the dance-tech.tv and dance-tech.net engaged international community of more than 5000 members including individual artists and organizations.

grid_lab use all the dance-tech.net platforms and programs: dance-tech.net, dance-tech.TV and interviews.

There is a meta network of high impact and presence in: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Livestream, USTREAM and Flickr.

The grid_lab transforms a festival hub, gallery space or the theater lobby in an interactive lab for experiments on the use of Web 2.0 technology such as: social networking, post-pc technologies (IPads 2 and I Phones 4), video podcasting, locative media and live video broadcasting.

Special video conferences and remote dialogues with international guests may be scheduled. Screenings of selected high quality content relevant to the event may also be organized as part of the grid_lab activities.

It is conceived as an intervention of the festival or event site creating a "spectacle of information and knowledge" and its production with a collaborative approach.

It becomes a communication hub deploying:

B/Vlogging and micro-blogging and data mashups

Video excerpts of performances and activities.

LIVE broadcasts from venues and mobile stations.

TalkShow with live broadcast with guests from the event
