Google Wave for Artists

As a musician i will use Wave to collaborate with likeminded people spread out over the world. As of now i have two global projects going wth a lot of email correspondents and you-send-it files, which isnt really convinient. I want to talk about the projects in real-time and come up with new ideas or even create new sounds while in a wave. This is the most basic thing I know i would use it for.

For future projects i would like to create wave sessions with closed time lines. It would basically be a session between, say, Monday and Wednsday to create ’something’ (music video, documentary, art project etc.) under a given theme and time. However, i am not 100% sure of how exactly Google wave is working so Im sure more oppertunities will be clear once i get into the whole Wave bizzwizz.

ok.

Hey Cory,
As a creator and enactor of live performance and play for children & families, and big adults too, my work integrates many domains – mindfulness, play, attachment theory, neurobiology, developmental movement and of course the performing arts. These domains are peopled with people who don’t always directly interact.

I imagine making Waves in several ways:
-inspire and harness collaboration between artists, educators, scientists
-document the living process of collaboration
-design rolling word-of-mouth (word-of-wave?) invites to our events
-create live, engaging funding proposals
-provide a moment by moment window into our creative process
-facilitate rolling Wavinars on the creative process itself

What is exciting is how communications technology is mirroring and extending the creative process artists have long been basking in.

Thanks,
Marc

I make jewelry and paintings and my husband is a musician. We are both teachers as well. While this is obviously a remarkable tool for collaborating on projects both in visual and performance arts, I could see it being used as a teaching tool as well. Mostly I was thinking in terms of a master class type situation, where you are demoing advanced techniques and concepts. Colleagues/students could view, ask questions and have group discussions in real time. It could also be used in more traditional teaching settings (as opposed to master classes) allowing for real time interaction and instruction between teacher and student. The possibilities are endless. I can’t wait!

Hello Abundant Artist!

I am a filmmaker and collaboration is an absolute necessity of my art. When I first heard about Wave I became very excited about all of the possibilities it can have. I have read about how it can work with post-production work flow, especially if some new features are created for Wave. I think filmmakers will continue to utilize wave as it evolves.

The way that i want to use Wave is to collaborate with a friend on writing a screenplay for an animated feature film. The concept is in its infant stages, and we have already begun sending SMS’s to each other with ideas. Wave seems like the perfect place to keep all of our correspondence together on record so it doesn’t get lost and we can continue to draw from spur of the moment ideas that we send each other. As I read more about Wave I became more and more excited about the forum we can have to launch this movie from concept to screenplay and beyond to production and even through to post production.

I would use it to post concept drawings and voice recordings of characters, as well as an ongoing editable draft of the script. Also use it for bouncing ideas back and forth and keeping a retrievable log of scene notes, and music ideas, and character sketches that we can access wherever we may find ourselves, and invite others to contribute and help develop the movie.

As the movie is written and storyboards are created we can use Wave to share our idea with interested parties who might want to contribute their efforts to helping the concept reach the big screen.

Thank you for your consideration,

Cody
