Performance Networking
Probably not quite what you're thinking - I'm talking about networking up PCs as performance art. Sounds pretentious, but it was somewhat inadvertent, at least the performance element was. I spent today helping Wooloo's Thankyou project in Khayelitsha (Cape Town's biggest township). You can check their site for the full story, but basically it's a multimedia art exhibition occuring simultaneously in a New York gallery and a Khayelitsha shopping mall with webcam links between the two.
It pretty much came down to me to get the Khayalitsha side of things running. Which meant networking up 6 PCs, configuring some caching to speed things up and setting up the webcam and an upload facility. All on a bandstand in front of several hundred people with a DJ and some dancing mixed in to add to the performance experience. Quite an experience, lots of fun, but now I'm too tired to write any more. Anyway visit the site and release the rands!
