interdimensional skrying, or burner videoconferencing?
Vox Ignis is organizing the creation of a videoconferencing connection, called The Crystal Ball, that will unite Playa del Fuego (the NE regional burn) with Burning Flipside (the Central TX burn), next year (2007).
And I have to say, "The Crystal Ball" sounds like a damn hippie ren faire project ;~}
But I will support anything that improves the connectivity of our communities.
Besides, I am actually rather fond of using divination as a conflict resolution mechanic for improvisational-theatre oriented games.
In fact, I would also like to see who might be willing to assist in the creation of some sort of an interactive games that people could play over the network connection and in real space at the same time, as well as exchanging the live feeds with New York's burn! We can blur the distinctions between the mundane and the fantastic even further with this sort of "Alternate Reality Game" structure.
Although that sort of thing might turn out to be an entirely unrelated project, for all I know... I am just always excited about possible synergies... whether they work out beneficially or not, I love to explore all of the possible connections in the end! In fact, just last night, I was exploring some strange & vaguely related synchronicities...
But, back to the specific business at hand... if we can just figure out how to get an internet connection out there for the videoconferencing that will be reliable & affordable?
Satellite dish service from Dripping Springs may be the way to go, but does anyone else out there have any good ideas they would like to share?
