Cellphonia: In The News: A locative-based karaoke opera

Cellphonia: In The News is a location based karaoke opera about the alienation of the contemporary technophile that includes text, sound, moving images and allows participants outside the core players to contribute as a remote chorus. Cellphonia begins anywhere anytime five people gather. [via networked performance]

"Cellphonia is an open source cell phone and Internet application that creates a street theater live opera via a conference call shared by user/participants.

A server coordinates the instant RSS Newsfeed libretto that is transmitted as text to each of the participant. The server queries the cell phones of the participants to determine each phones capability. In this way the server can make a scalable set of media that takes maximum advantage of each participants phone, allowing a large number of cellphone users to participate anytime anywhere".
