VELOCITY online folly's VELOCITY festival is happening now, online and all around Morecambe Bay. We're especially proud of our content on the web, which reaches not just the Bay area but worldwide. Here are some of our current successes
Artcast ===== ArtCast is folly's new ongoing series of podcasting programmes - a platform for public access to new and innovative sound art. You can listen on the web, or as a podcast! For VELOCITY folly invited Sonic Arts Network to join us in the selection of podcasts from an international open call. Hear submissions - specially curated for VELOCITY - from artists working with sound, experimental musicians and composers, writers and performance artists, both locally and from across the world. follyplay on Bebo ============ Building on the success of our follyplay events and Virtual Creatures follyplay online experience, folly has launched a follyplay bebo page. You can play with virtual games such as Fly Guy and Tiny Grow, and of course, invite your friends! www.follyplay.bebo.com is an exciting new way for folly to engage with new audiences from all over the world, sharing our enthusiasm for digital art and creative online participation. Forest of Imagined Beginnings ==================== In the Forest of Imagined Beginnings there are no clear rules or objectives. It is simply an online landscape that is vulnerable to the whims and wants of the digi_club community who can adopt this digital terrain as their own. This new multi-user online environment – a new kind of forum or chat room - invites 12 -16 year olds to navigate and explore a beautiful landscape. digi_club members can explore the forest, embedding their own messages within the landscape and attaching conversations to trees planted by the artists. digi_club members can enter the forest right now at www.digi.org.uk/foib. Grown-ups have to content themselves with the pilot at http://www.folly.co.uk/forest LitFest Live Lines ============ Adopting the text message as a literary form, this Wednesday two writers - Sarah Murphy and Catherine Sadler - took their mobile phones on the trains around the Bay and, using Twitter, microblogged their way around the VELOCITY festival. Their thoughts, conversations, imaginings and observations are preserved online. Twitter has become a ‘sketchbook’ of their journey, revealing the interaction and dialogue they had with each other and their surroundings, online at http://twitter.com/livelines_one/with_friends For more exciting VELOCITY events and artworks, visit the folly website soon!
