It was a delight to be asked to help tenantspin with their last live stream and their first in such a long time – when they made arts engagement projects they broke the mould after this one – I think it was less art and more Guerilla TV – over the years they had some shows, some of which are available on their Live Stream and over the years I tried to get them involved in as many projects as I possible could. I’m thinking here about when we got them over to the Arts Councils grand AGM where the participants met and interviewed the Council member of all the Arts Council’s across the country. I did a bit of live reporting there also.
So last night after “The End of Transmission” part of the tentantspin event we just went for a wander around the gallery space with camera and laptop – working off WiFi and here is that short and not very interesting section. I still love the immediacy of it all.

I won’t say that it was an easy set up for this as we had to try 5 different cameras linked via Firewire to a Mac – they didn’t work so when we pulled out my old windows laptop and it worked first time which I made me laugh.
Do watch the last show in case you missed it, so good to see so many familiar faces and so sad that John McGuirk wasn’t there to see the end. RIP John.

Channel 4 to simulcast all content online.
This game changing move by C4 will really pave the way for all broadcasters to follow suit, the BBC this summer are broadcasting live every event from the Olympics, across multiple platforms. Phone, iPad generally any internet connected device, including TV’s.
As reported in New Media Age website.
Channel 4’s head of viewer relationship management Steve Forde told new media age the move is part of its overall data-driven strategy to reward viewers for registering and providing more information.
“We have learnt content is king when it comes to what viewers want and because of that we are building our bank of rewards and benefits for people who register,” he said.

So the move is data driven, collecting information on viewer watching habits which will allow them to recommend programmes based on this data but also adverts and it is these adverts and the potential advertising revenue that are really driving this move. They want to create a digital nest that sees us engaging with their programmes while their advertisers engage with us.
Look ahead 2 years and we will be sharing what we watch with our friends in a Getglue fashion but within the walls of Channel4book.
Personally I will be unfriending anyone who watches Friends.
I have’t tried this yet – i suppose mainly because i haven’t got the disk space but i will – you can try and let me know how you get on.

Updated Ustream producer
Ok, so I was kinda charmed by this Ustream video about their new Producer software but then I am easily charmed. But you watch and you decide it is pretty cool to consider that you can have your own TV producing package on your PC or Mac just for those times when you need multi camera functionality switching between pre recorded video and computer screen.
Might be good for Ignite Liverpool to invest in such a piece of software. I wonder what the conversion rate between $ and £ is at the moment…
