La-la-la (is this telephony?)
A week or two ago I attended Dorkbot Alba, a gathering of eclectic people and techno-centric ideas.
I really liked the presentation by artist Zoë Irvine. She’s putting together Dial-a-Diva, which runs THIS SATURDAY, 3 DECEMBER. Get that?
It’s a global 24-hour concert of singing from performers around the world. And you can just dial-in and listen.
It’s a return to the roots of telephony, as it was first deployed and conceived — a broadcast medium. So by not IP streaming, she isn’t being ostentatiosly retro, but is reminding us of — and reviving — the medium’s origins.
