[p2p-research] collaborative art project call for assistance

[Michel Bauwens]

Thanks for reading this message from Yvette Dubel, especially the list of
requests at the end,

as I understand it, Yvette is looking for qualified technical help to create
a virtual infrastructure for her project,

Michel Bauwens

Can you look at the following and let me know if this is something you think
might have interest to P2P members?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Cultural Fusion art series has progressed it needs a virtual hub
consistent with our vision. This hub will act as a virtual portal for
various real world locations that will be synchronized or not. I have a
concept and need some specific expertise. I would LOVE to use this as a case
study in peer to peer using art.
Can you help me get this message to people who would be interested?
About Cultural Fusion:
As an interdisciplinary endeavor is an art series and art movement about the
art of collaboration as the anchor in a social movement embodied in an
expanding art series - it marries community driven economic development.
research and development for sustainability, and social responsibility,
primarily but not exclusively, as interactive public artworks.
Because many of my ideas are driven in part by technology my work seeks to
explore how our use of technology shapes its role(s) in personal
relationships, economies, communities and so on with my goal being to bridge
the online and offline actions to learn about real world impact potential to
address prevalent issues. We do this by engaging those to be helped as
collaborators so a nonprofit doing the work of helping the homeless, abused
or orphaned children is a partner as are the people they help.
This first project will benefit the work of several organizations including
Foot Steps for Life (supports orphanages and schools for deprived children),
Artist for the Homeless (provides support and assistance to the homeless,
shelters and programs), iFOSSF (which assists in using IT to advance
grassroots efforts for sustainable living/development and community
empowerment), Help2Read (inter generational literacy program), and many more
as the project takes shape.
We have an island with the seeds of the Research Studio on Reaction Grid
http://www.facebook.com/l/bf836;www.reactiongrid.com which needs to be
developed to operate as a core part of this art project advancing the idea
of art with purpose.
Can you help with any of the following?
1. An architect or builder who can help - articulate the concept for the
building and grounds space with specs for building
2. A designer who can help design the space - including concept, and list of
item inventory: furniture, flooring, walls, features, objects with specs for
building
3. 3D builders - to build items or building components
4. Programmers to help create software components for art projects - can
select one based on interest/expertise
5. Web designer/developer - collaborate to re-develop website concept and
plan for implementation
6. Web designers to select task to implement web design concept
7. Technical people with deep knowledge for how to build things outside of
virtual world
Anyone that is interested - please contact me on FaceBook and join the
Cultural Fusion group there (link is in my profile). Let me know which
number task you are interested in and I will send you a link to my location
on Reaction Grid then we can go from there.
All the best,
Yvette Dubel
