Social technology: to serve and to create

A true model for mobile learning: how we interact with technology | Julian Stodd's Learning Blog:
"I was fortunate enough to see Cirque du Soleil last night, an astonishing performance of athleticism and creativity. For those of you who haven’t seen them, Cirque provide a modern take on circus skills, blending vibrant costumes, elaborate props and modern technology. They have some seriously ambitious staging: in this case, giant video screens that formed the floor, but could rise up to make walls or slopes, all the stage for the performance.

The technology, in itself, was impressive, but it’s role was to facilitate the creativity. In an opening scene, the large central video screen showed an image of a train moving along, whilst three ‘vandals‘ in harnesses danced and scaled the wall, then were able to ‘run‘ along the vertical screen, spraying digital graffiti onto the moving train. Like a giant iPad, interaction between people and image, technology facilitating the creative process and storytelling."
