AFTRS very own social network and virtual world guru – Gary Hayes – is a panelist for a talk being held at the ACP on September 18
As the hype that surrounded the arrival of Web 2.0 begins to settle, we take a broad look at the social networks, virtual environments and new platforms that mushroomed in the past two years, to assess how and why they succeeded, what didn’t work, and what’s in store for the future.
Panellists include Gary Hayes (AFTRS, LAMP) who built the Bigpond, Deakin University, Tourism Victoria, Thursday’s Fictions, AFTRS, Marni, Cog and ABC Islands in Second Life; Kathy Cleland, curator of Mirror Worlds at the Campbelltown Arts Centre and lecturer in new media at Sydney University; and media artist and producer Kate Richards, whose recent projects include Wayfarer at the Performance Space and the upcoming “Foul Whispers” in Second Life.
