REPUTATION - THE NEW CURRENCY FOR MEDIA CULTURE

If you rely too heavily on technology you forget the basics.  But when you go deeper than the technology and connect with people, this is where true strength lies. We want to talk to you about who we are and why time and reputation are the new currency for convergence culture.

WHAT WE DO  

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED

Understand your story and be passionate about it.  Listen to your network and then adjust to the challenges.  This speaks to the power of your reputation.  You should constantly build your reputation based on values that are rock solid.  It's a continuous process.

Your story, your brand and your reputation are all one in the same. Get your message out there and grow trust with your network of followers.  The reputation economy relies heavily on referrals to grow business. A referral means that an individual felt good enough about your reputation to recommend you to a trusted peer. Nobody goes out on a limb and refers a person product or a service that may bring disrepute back on them. We all want to make sure that our trust network are professionals who will do an outstanding job for those seeking their services. This quality result reflects back on the individual who gave the referral ... as a person who is connected to quality people.

BRING IT ON HOME

If your reputation is strong, it stands for something that differentiates you from others.  Success breeds success, and a good reputation makes you a leader in your network.  A strong reputation makes your story travel faster farther, and disposable income has a better chance to be attracted to your message.

Every positive experience reflects on your reputation. Stay positive and spread that positive feeling when ever you can.

Don't rely too heavily on technology as you will forget the basics.  When you go deeper than the technology and connect with people, this is where true strength lies.

We want to be part of your call to action. Let's get out there and tell your story. 

WHERE WE HAVE BEEN

We've seen things most people wouldn't believe.  BBS [Bulletin Board Service] WAS the World Wide Web.... A Municipal cable tv franchise built with our own hands.... 

Intel beta tested the first web servers in front of our eyes.

We sold the first independent movie to video release....Helped develop the first intranets.. Stood next to the fire of William Burroughs,...Protected corporate networks from Y2K....Watched Hunter Thompson "glitter in his darkness"...

Contributed to Encyclopedia Galactica and prototyped 3D data Visualzation when it wasn't cool...

And that's not the half of it. Years of stored up memories we never took for granted.

Keys to Reaching the iGeneration

 

Virtuscape implements bleeding edge artistic tools and activities as they relate to the future development of human culture.

When combined with the evolution of technology and storytelling this yields unexpected and more interesting directions for creative expression. We concentrate on what makes a technological creative expression artistic. And what makes a technological object or process interesting to someone who is designing the creative activity.

Part of our development and performance work is the creation of necessary feedback loops for validation of creative hypotheses, theories and realisations. We set up virtual labs, meetings, and collaborations with strategic partners who also support the new cultural-scientific agenda. Starting from the idea of terraformatting another world, the construction of a natural environment elsewhere without the presence of artificial cultural artifacts is an daunting enterprise. As in "the real world", the evolutionary creation of an alien accommodation is the process of mutual exchange and assimilation.  So, transmitting and seeding atomized art and culture beomes a core initiative. We look for ways to support algorithmic art and audiovisual synthesis as a primary evolution of existing earth culture.

What is the evolution of culture and art is there still a role for the traditional narrative and other old 20th century obsessive clock/frame time-based stylistics?  Based on our research we decide the necessary elements to select to input for synthesis of a new inworld culture. How can we as meta- travelers feel at home in a purely synthesized and experimental machine culture that is not related to our old earth like environment?  We pick up where science and art once were divided.  Then we work towards rethinking our current state of the arts, and revamping the old science of audio and visual perception to fit the new world. We are shifting away from old school frozen foundations by adding cognitive science angles and re-defining audiovisual analysis and synthesis techniques.   New world consumption and distribution applications are developing around the new reputation economy and changing old school consumer products and services into commodities of choice. We are looking to make technological art more expressive and performance friendly. This emerging art form is cultural, dynamic, non-linear, multi-directive, timeless, chaotic, aesthetic and autonomous.  Our experiments, research and development are helping us establish a more exact view on how storytelling, technology, art and vision relate to human behavior no and into the future.
