Traveling/Esquinas/Chat/Ingles

“Traveling the Territory” is a mixed interface combining a multi-user chat, video/sound streaming display and a database of video images, photos, text, graphics and sounds. This segment also includes live stream broadcast from the location where the work is exhibited. This segment of “Traveling Corners/Esquinas Rodantes” intends to create an interactive cinema that continues the mission of the Latin American Cinema project: that of becoming a mediatic social agent transforming the incapacities of underdevelopment as we create textual operations interweaving the social, the political and the historical realms.

How To Play the Chat
     Ideally, after playing the game, the user is rewarded with a series of keywords to be used at the chat. We recommend that the user visit the section of Territories where there are fragments of the research done for the project.
When chatting, the KEYWORDS will activate the multimedia display. In an ideal situation, the issues discussed at the chat will bring the keywords into narrative, creating the interactive network narrative/cinema intended with this project
We recommend that the user, when logging on to the chat, will visit the keywords section.
     When the user arrives to the interface, she or he logs into the chat and using the KEYWORDS in the text field two actions take place: 1) the dialogue/narrative is constructed on the chat interface and 2) the keywords, which is connected to the database, will activate the multimedia display sending the storage videos, sounds, images and graphics.
     The chat performance is dived in three acts: Act I: Flow; Act II: Territories; Act III: The New Matrix. Each act consists of a series of subject matters that serve as point of departure for the chat dialogue/narrative. The keywords employed in the chat are taken from the script that has been developed during the research. For more information about the subject matters see the sections “TERRITORIES” and “KEYWORDS” .
