1. Open Participation : anyone is able to participate.
2. Mass Production : contents are seen as produced through mass, collaborative effort
3. Consumer = Producer : the producer of the content is usually also the consumer.
There are various online platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, MySpace or Twitter which share the above characteristics. I find these platforms often bundled into one category as [oreilly]web 2.0[/oreilly] or Collaborative Frameworks, but in this knowledge object I’d like to further divide these into three models: the Playground model, the Directed Experiments model and the Playground hosting Directed Experiments model to better analyze their process of content generation. Below is the diagram of the models compiled with my colleague Cesar Harada for the Open_Sailing presentation we gave at the Barbican Gallery on the 27th August, 2009.

Ars Electronica Center’s lighting system suddenly bugged up, and the city of Linz was completely neo-rave! Great music video opportunity.

P.S.
関西テレビ用の日本語インタビューの答え、頑張ってやっと書けたんで公開します。これがアルスエレクトロニカでThe Next Idea Awardを受賞したOpen_Sailingについて、初めて日本語で説明した文になると思います。ちなみに最近Sweet Vacationという素晴らしいポップバンドをやっている早川大地さんとオープンなフレームワークの可能性について少し話したんだけど、インタビュー中の「これから本当に大事になるものは、高度な技術とパワーを持った天才ではなく、人を繋げ、知識を共有し、モチベーションを最大限に活かす様な環境かも...」と言っている部分では大地さんの言葉をカナリ借りさせて頂きました。大地さん、貴重な意見をどうもありがとう!
I finally wrote up the Japanese interview article for Kansai Television, so I’ll make it public here. This is the first time we explain Open_Sailing in depth, in Japanese. I recently had a very interesting discussion on open participation with Daichi Hayakawa, who runs a great pop band called Sweet Vacation which experiments heavily with social media (as well as making perfect, beautiful pop music). I borrowed a lot of his words when I wrote some comments about the way social media is about to change the way people perceive culture – culture is no longer built by the few geniuses. Thanks so much Daichi for sharing many thoughts.
Anyhow…if you fortunately read Japanese, give me a shout if anything is difficult to understand or sounds a little bit like a religious cult :p

Worked at the FutureLab for the first time, and was lucky enough to be invited to a great BBQ birthday party (for Irene!) by the Danube! Thank you Emiko and Hide Ogawa-san for inviting us
People at Ars Electronica are a lot younger than I expected, a lot of them are maybe around 24 ish, my age… feels a bit like a college party..which is not bad ;p
Hello! I’ve just arrived now in Linz, the northern industrial city of Austria.
I’m here with my project partner Cesar Harada to prepare for our Open_Sailng exhibition at Ars Electronica 2009. The exhibition starts on the 3rd of September, the award ceremony will be on the 4th, and we’ll be giving a presentation sometime during the festival at the GeoCity Lab. Come! Come!
We’re getting a desk space in Ars Electronica FutureLab, so I’ll be tapping away at my computer there until the festival starts. Give me a shout if anyone will be here during the festival. Let’s hang out!!

I think some people have noticed already but I started the NEW and RADICAL Sputniko! blog! http://www.sputniko.com/blog
While working on my dissertation and Open_Sailing I’ve started to have some thoughts about all this Twitter, Youtube, MySpace, Flickr, Tumblr, Facebook craze – so I decided to go nuts and jumble them all into one blog, even made my physical location public on Google Latitude, so this blog will serve as an absolute Sputniko! network hub, an absolute Sputniko! node, an absolute Sputniko! information catalyst, an absolute absolute absolute information neuron with many many legs….
Making my location public on Google Latitude was actually quite a difficult decision (FREE Sputniko! STALKING FOR EVERYONE!!! YEAAAAH!!) but I decided to explore and play with this uneasiness, the areas of uncomfort are often the places where we discover the most interesting things… No?
Anyhow I hope this new blog serves as a platform to help me understand some things about what I see about and online… will the value of the production ‘process’ (framework) supercede the value of the actual final output? Will the idea of ‘final output’ become redundant in near future? and so on.
I also majorly updated the Sputniko! website but I won’t go too much into detail here because there was SO much change! If I write them all in this blog post, it’s going to take me about a week! I’ll feed you with more news about them on the blog, bit by bit, so watch this space!
xx!
