I think we’re going to see a new wave in performances these next few years. First was the appearance of lighters. Then cell phone cameras started to take shape at shows, and I think orchestras will start implementing the iPad.
But what about the actual performances? Well, Mashable reported that shows may turn into games. And it all makes sense. Games become more fun when large groups of people are involved. And the traditional orchestra has over 100 members.
MTV sent out a press release about this movement, and their plans on getting involved. And since interaction is the key, this seems like the next logical step.
It started with Foursquare, which turned going out into a game. Imagine being able to receive credit towards a band’s shirt if you checked into a concert, or were able to choose the setlist by becoming a ‘super fan’?
Technology always dictates where art goes. So what’s your thoughts on this?
