Laboratory Live Media assumes the presence of three Internet trends.
The first is a new generation of online web tools transforming the way we access and use the Internet. The second is the convergence between the contemporary Internet and mobile and telecommunication devices for the creation of an Extended Internet of many devices. The third is the development of the Semantic Web, where information, data feeds and streams find their correct destinations via networks of intelligent software agents.
Within the contexts of these trends, evolutions and new maturities of the Internet, the aim of Laboratory Live Media is to investigate new kinds of live confrontations, collisions and confluences between *online* and *offline* milieus.
As part of this transformative nature of the Web, we see the emergence of Web2.0 as the moment when the Web established itself as a live communication environment.
Central to this presentation is then, the question: How is real-time or live communication on the Internet being constructed?
Within what is referred to as Web2.0 we see live communication being developed in two modes. The first is corporate broadcast media’s perceived need to incorporate Web2.0 participatory models of “user generated content”. The second field of development is the organisation of a “networked multitude” via Social Network Sites.
Between these two modes and using examples of artistic productions on the Web, this presentation will seek to explicate the necessity for Laboratory Live Media to establish a “third mode” of live communication for the generation of strategic transmissions and live image flows.
