A Weblike layering of music, media, performers, audience, and the surrounding ecosystem into a rhythmic "jungle." The objective is to celebrate an expanded sense of nature inclusive of culture and technology. With roots in African American jazz and 1990's Rave culture, the Web jam takes an improvisational, "emergent" approach to cultural, political, and ecological systems. The first Web jam, known as "Organism," was instigated by Ebon Fisher in the spring of 1993 in collaboration with 120 artists, musicians, and children from Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Over 2,000 people attended -jamming from 6 at night till 9 the next morning. |
