Real-life rock festival online in IRC-Galleria
To be honest, a live video and audio stream from a concert is really not that special
anymore, we've done that before a couple of times. BUT this time we are streaming almost a complete
rock festival in IRC-Galleria, which is - just to remind you - Finland's largest social networking
servicefor young adults. That is special! Here's how it goes:
IRC-Galleria gives its every user (even un-registered) the unique possibility to attend the
Jurassic Rock festival (held in Mikkeli,
Finland) using their own computer. Almost all artists performing on the main stage can be seen on
the
festival community page in IRC-Galleria. The
"festival vibe" comes not only from the performing artists but from the interaction among the
audience. Based on our previous experience, this interaction can be achieved also in a real-time
chat. It is really possible to sing along together by just using text - at least this is true when
talking about the "digital natives"!
Even if you are not a member of IRC-Galleria, you too can be on the front row of Jurassic
Rock main stage - wherever you physically are. The preliminary schedule can be found below. The
times are Eastern European Summer Time - i.e. GMT +3.
