A platform for collaborative performance
"The Pavilion: Into the 21st Century -- A Laboratory for Social Experimentation"
by Randall Packer, PlaNetwork Journal
"Inspired by Billy Klüver's 1970 art and technology masterpiece, the Pepsi Pavilion, artist/theorist Randall Packer is creating a NASA-supported digital, interactive artwork that will also be a platform for collaborative performances." The project " responds to Klüver's idea of freeing the spectator to make his or her own connections in the experience of the artwork.
"Pavilion: Into The 21st Century" will provide a platform for creation, a programmable, interactive 'multimedia performance instrument,' a laboratory and showcase for media experimentation. This multimedia 'instrument' will offer a critical forum for researching and advancing the integration of art, music and science into singular, multi-disciplinary artworks. It will also allow for the consideration of the social implications of emerging forms of interactivity in networked environments."
