BIG LIVE is a custom web-jockey live performance javascript framework that we built for the Huffington Post Obama inauguration pre-party at the Newseum in DC.
Working with producer extra-ordinaire Keira Alexandra and David Stark, we wrote software and live web-jocked content for two oversized laptops at the party. The framework allowed on the fly broadcast control over a debauchery of interactive media content:
- live video from in party mobile phones using Kyte
- twitter feeds with an Obama filter
- RSS news feeds
- in party text-messaging using textmarks
- election maps
- a cover it live blog from an in party blogging station
- election night you-tube videos
- election night flickr photos
- and more that we can’t remember right now
