Time-Extended Conversations
Another fine post by Robin Good:
Events Break Out Of The Physical Space-Time Prisons
Online (and offline) events should not be confined anymore to the physical time-space of when and where the event actually occurs.
(…)
…extended and ongoing multiplicity of information and conversation channels, which start before the actual event and go on for a long time after it.
These are a new class of powerful, inclusive, popular and engaging events liberated from the straightjacket of space-time by the convergence of usable new media technologies: X-events.
He goes on to delineate their fascinating traits.
I’m thinking convergence: amassing, assembling, associating, clustering, collecting, combining, concursion, confluence, congregating, consolidating, coupling, gathering, growing, incorporating, intensifying, joining, linking, magnifying, massing, meeting, multiplying, proliferating, thickening, unifying, widening into what lies beyond the present horizon.
