Traversal for Faneuil Hall and Shafer Tower is a live performance and hybrid reality installation that bridges the physical and virtual worlds. It will connect Faneuil Hall in Boston (virtualized in Second Life) with Shafer Tower at Ball State University as part of the 2009 Boston Cyberarts Festival.
Visitors to Second Life will be able to play the bell tower at BSU on McKinley Avenue via an interactive online virtual instrument built by IDIA - located in a 3D model of Faneuil Hall. Participants from all over the world can play the actual French carillon on top of Shafer Tower by using their Second Life avatars. The ringing of the bells of Shafer Tower will be streamed and simulcast back into Second Life, so the virtual participants can see and hear their interactions. Participants at Shafer Tower can connect to their virtual counterparts through technology set up at the base of the tower.
IDIA’s Director, John Fillwalk, Jesse Allison, staff and graduate students have collaboratively designed and built this interactive artwork.
The Boston Cyberarts Festival is the first and largest collaboration of artists working in new technologies in all media in North America, encompassing visual arts, dance, music, electronic literature, web art, and public art. The 2009 Festival will take place April 24 - May 10 and will include more than 50 museums, galleries, theatres, universities, and public spaces in and around the Boston area. A number of members of this network will be presenting their work during the Festival! Check out the events listing on the Boston Cyberarts website at www.bostoncyberarts.org
