Nexeus Fatale

Last night, Virtualive.tv went off without a hitch! (well outside of Adam unplugging the routers to charge his phone, I think that moment will live on forever!) You can catch the play-by-play here. We had around 100 people at the Canal Room rocking out (much like myself, I think there’s footage of me throwing up horn and rocking out!) The Morpheum sim was packed, so much so that we capped the amount of people that could attend in about 30 minutes of the entire event starting. Pictures are to come very shortly! Also check out Shock Radar’s and Buddahead’s great music!

So the Virtualive.tv concert is today, I’ve been here since 11 am, and I’m updating things that are going on, as I see them around me, hopefully even through the event!!! Keep up with things here

The Virtualive.tv project I’m working on has been mentioned in billboard, on the same day that I will be announcing some really exciting news about the concert. Check out the article here! For more information about Virtualive.tv visit the website at www.virtualive.tv, and if your are in the New York City area, tickets are still available. The event happens on May 10th, 2007, tickets are $15 in advance/$20 at the door. Order tickets through ticketmaster.

Tickets for the Virtualive.tv concert are available for purchase here. Virtualive.tv is a mixed-reality concert that myself and others have been organizing. The concert is going to start on May 10th at 7:30pm and will feature Buddahead and Shock Radar, and will be Ray Ellin. The real purpose of the event is to stretch the experience of virtual worlds and music. I would recommend to definitely check it out at Virtualive.tv, and read up on the progress of the event on the Virtualive.tv blog, or become it’s friend on MySpace.

So there’s this project I’m working on called Virtualive.tv (http://www.virtualive.tv), it’s a mixed-reality concert (happening in a real and virtual space of Second Life), here are my recent thoughts about it:

“I’m finding difficulty describing exactly what Virtualive.tv is. It could be described as a concert, a virtual concert and a mixed-reality project, but it feels much more than just those three things. In a way it parallels what Woodstock was to the 70’s, the combination of art, culture and a generation at a concert at one place at one time. If you never understood the culture of the time, Woodstock was the perfect embodiment of it.

Fast-forward to today and the world has changed significantly in 30 years. We’ve become more technological, our purchased for music, clothing, books, equipment are happening at the click of a button without ever seeing the project in front of our eyes until it is delivered. Our lives have become very digital, from our e-mail (who sends letters by envelope anymore), to the way we express ourselves (MySpace), to the way we interact socially (Second Life).

The more I think about Virtualive, the more I begin to believe that is a representation of how digital our lives have become, and it could be this generations Woodstock. The mixing of art, culture, and music in two places, the real person would and the virtual person world; all at the same time.”
