The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra will stage the first full-scale symphonic concert in Second Life next month. [link]
I have to say, I dont get it. Whats the different between watching the video on other media, and watching a video of the performance within Second Life? Its not like the musicians are being animated - its a video stream. And what will the quality of the video and the audio be like? How can this recreate the experience of sitting in a concert hall? What is lost - and also what is gained from this?
It seems to me the loss/gain question is a fundamental aspect of digital humanities/ cultural and heritage informatics that hasnt been addressed properly yet. Hmmm.....
