The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Guess what I'm going to be doing this weekend?
The whole project blows my mind!
Whoa!
"In a ground-breaking initiative called Midsummer Night’s Dreaming, delivered in substantial part by Google’s creative division, the action will primarily be experienced at one digital remove through a dedicated website – dream40.org – which has already gone live. This site will anticipate, comment on and followShakespeare’s action – as enacted largely unseen by the RSC cast – using specially devised materials, whether it be tweets, animations or other postings, and will draw too on material supplied by the online world. In other words, it will be the buzz around the events – some of it generated by 35 ancillary characters, specially created for the occasion – that takes centrestage."
My favorite piece so far is Justin Snout's sound cloud poetry

anything that speads the work of Skakespeare must be good in my opinion.
