SilverFire mutates to "Verlängerte Bar" or "Endless Bar"

Since a few years I work an a idea called "SilverFire".

The idea is to connect two parties using Video-Conferencing technology. People sitting in a Bar can talk to other people sitting in another bar, in another city, on another continent, drinking beer, chatting. The Video-Conferencing System connecting the party-people is an aid to create a global party. In full scale, each party can connect to more parties, if each party connects to three other parties, a network of parties, musik, communication, people emerges. A global SilverFire.

Info on the project is a little offline, because eaon had to lock down his wiki, but some blog posts remain: So the "endless bar" or "verlängerte bar" concept would involve a setup such as this:
     video connection via Skype
Leo               V      Fra
Ingrid            |      Grenzfurthner
Martin            |      Evelyn
Katrin            |      Karin
in Kaiserslautern |      in Vienna
The video-system should be placed at the end of a bar, or at the end of a table, so that the table is "enlarged" virtually.

Insipiration to this Event, and the name Silver Fire, came from the Greg Egan Story Silver Fire, a book that Malte Kiesel boworred me some time ago.

Next "Verlängerte Bar" will happen at the Kliklabor in Kaiserslautern.

Good Idea

Hey, that sounds nice. Perhaps we should try the link Kaiserslautern-Berlin some time, I think I know someone who owns a brand new MacBook with builtin iSight (glances to cygri).

ok, so we aim for some date in january to do this, probably in two weeks.

could you check if you can get Skype-video running on the MacBook?

We don't have a Mac Counterpart here that supports iChat, or I ask Gunnar if he borrows us his PowerBook, he has a firewire camera.
