Adam's Jamifesto...

What I think we should be about and what we should be aiming to create:

  • Anything we create shouldn't just be a unique experience that you can only have in one place (i.e it shouldn't just be an insulation), it needs to be aimed towards anyone with a computer (and webcam and mic if required)
  • I think AstroJam should be here to show how the internet and interactive designs can be used as a creative art medium, and allows users to appreciate this. It's something that's not really done much (and successfully) and I think with the talent we have we'd be perfect at producing some unique interactive works of art.
  • AstroJam! is a brilliant way for us to experiment with techniques and combining them with well thought out and planned designs (something that I need to start improving)
What should our outcomes be?

  • I unsure whether we need one focus or whether it should just be aimed towards promoting the internet as a brilliant interactive art form. Who is our audience?
  • I don't think it always needs to involve motion and sound detection but at the moment I think it's something thats not really been experimented with well and is a perfect starting point and also aim for creating for the exhibition.
  • I'm adamant that this piece has got to be mainly aimed towards computers and the reason for having a large piece at the exhibition is merely to get it noticed and seen in big. I think the reason for this is because the internet is a mass of information and data that is accessible by many. Our work should take this into consideration and maybe we would consider a website displaying out final outcomes and experiments, not just our blogg...?
So...I see us as a sort of campaign aimed at promoting digital, interactive web based art. I think it'd be interesting to experiment with what we create and love the idea of a Jam Virus that spreads on the internet, but also around Uni. An sort of enigma where we don't give too much away and people want to find out what we do and who we are.

A Virus...A Viral...A Jamtastic Force to be reckoned with MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

VIVA LA JAM!!!!
