Virtual Residency Day Twenty-six, Audiences

I have completed the first of three planned virtual concerts and have learned more than I can say immediately from the 16 hour event. The biggest lesson I've learned is a logistical one: this is a new media that requires a new way to access audiences. I don't yet know how to do that.

It is a teaching media for the "instructor" as much as the attendee.

Participants need clear signs to enter. Those of us on the "inside" are not looking at the needs of those "outside" with sufficient clarity

The potential is enormous but requires organization.

The experience was exhausting and profoundly provocative.

I am convinced more than ever that an answer to global warming (and perhaps some other problems) is in this process of virtual communication coupled with validation of physical connection to place.

All that may be incoherent tonight due to my exhaustion. Later tomorrow I shall revise this post for clarity.
