Home->Summer of Love 2.0
Artworks Title

Lichty explores the online cultural convergence of Web 2.0 and compares this connectivity to the 1967 "Summer of Love" gathering of more than 100,000 young people in San Francisco. Two weeks prior to the installation, Lichty will send out a call to Web 2.0 websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and Second Life for discussion based on the question: "What is Love?" During the installation, texts (from sources such as Twitter) and images created in Second Life are projected live in the gallery. The installation begins with an interactive Second Life performance by Lichty's group Second Front.
