The Networked Collaboration Collaboration has explored a whole host of ideas in the past 6 months. We have held semi regular weekly meetings and through discussion and experimentation have focused on a loose build framework which we are ready to start building.

There are a couple of things guiding our build. We decided to make sure it wasn’t jokey or illustrative. We decided we want a unified piece of art rather than sections created individually and joined together.

Our perspective of Networked Collaboration is from a decidedly creative angle. the build reflects the trepidation of a creative individual in entering in to a collaborative venture and the greater fear of entering the world of Networked collaboration. Our visitor is required to jump in to a forest of unemotional impersonal poles. As the avatar passes each pole a human voice is heard from each one belying the lost in the machine fear and encouraging further exploration. Soon enough the visitor falls through the floor and the forest has become alive with color, objects, more noise and particles reflecting the unexpected immersive sticky human quality of networked collaboration.
