Theatre for the Future///

Ok, creative juice spiliage.

The only thing that will remain in entertainment that you travel to will be the seats. I mean, even movie theatres are passe because of HDTV. Maybe that's why the networks dragged it through the mud for so long.

But I imagine a building. Four walls and seats. That's about the only thing that could stick. I think for the most of it there will still be a screen, but maybe the audience will 360 around a stage in the center with massive holographic on display.

But that's only the half of it, the audience will at this point totally be interfaced with the digital world of this entertainment. Chemical smellovision? Don't make me laugh, this is about brain interface.

I'm sure the corporate collaborates of this tech will have varying disciplines of immersion. Like evolved models of the same product, which might be proportional to the experience. What I mean is brain-bugs (nano machines which facilitate this interface and latch on to neurons and synapses- and also possibly complex receptor sites) will evolve and newer forms of the tech will always increase in resolution over time. So, there's a huge class-aspect to it, money buys the experience. Ticket price does not relate to this at all and is something completely different. Infact, you might be able to enjoy the experience if you're complety un-modified. And I imagine that's how the baby boomers will approach this form of theatre.

I dunno if live actors come into this form of entertainment. It's a hard thing to predict. Especially if our relationship with the performers is what it is now. And that is to say human. If it were augmented in a way which allowed the communication of thoughts and feelings than it would be a completely different experience.

Imagine simultaneously watching a world-class dancer perform and yet be in sync with the thought process they're experiencing. The nervousness, and the excitement juxtaposed with elegance and the desire for perfection. And what if this dancer is genetically enhanced from birth? Than perfection would be altered, and it would become the norm. The feelings associated with this aspiration might also be muted, but new feelings would come over.

That's irrelevant. I imagine a theatre where the audience jacks in. The magnitude of resolution associated with jacking in changes with the consumers ability to have the 'latest and greatest' upgrade between the frontal and the occipital.

What does that mean? It means live performance might finally be given justice and finally have the capability of mass distribution.

I want to build transhuman entertainment.
