Abstract:
In our proposed aesthetic research project, we investigate contemporary mixed realities through innovative performance and artistic activities both on site (at the workshop) and online (MySpace). Specifically, we act as reality jockeys (RJs) working directly with the production, consumption and distribution of contemporary media, sound and the ‘sensible’ itself through social media technologies such as MySpace and Eyespot, and digital media production tools (sound recording, laptops, software, cameras).
