As I said to Steve Sheffield recently, I have 98 out of the 1000 pieces I need to make start writing and editing the film but I was just missing the glue. Well, this week I not only found the glue, but I found one with the perfect pigment. An article from an ‘05 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Eductation finally started to address the issues of Virtually Real that find most compelling: community and culture.
I had so many lofty goals to pursue over the the past two weeks. When you have two kids, it’s amazing how life gets in the way during the Holidays. Well, it’s a New Year, and time to make a plan for turning all the material I have into something worthwhile. Henrik Bennetsen at the Stanford Humanities Lab has invited me to his Metaverse U conference coming up in February. As Jamais Cascio pointed out, Henrik’s conference is going to be very Virtual Worlds heavy, but for a project called Virtually Real, that’s probably not a bad thing.
What I fear now, however, is what it’s going to take to get the media rights to some of the video / images I’d ideally like to use in this documentary: think Tron.
