Global Window
In addition to these Live Bits, the 80+1 Base Camp will also feature a so-called Global Window. Approximately six meters wide and more than two meters tall, these three screens constitute a “window on the world” that will constantly display a live remote hook-up to some spot on Earth. The Global Window facilitates worldwide encounters—those arranged in advance and formally moderated as well as those that come about serendipitously—and also serves as a presentation and discussion interface.
In addition to the school presentations set for 10 AM to 12 Noon CET, our expert round-tables and open forums will also be screened on the Global Window 7-9 PM CET.
„Hopes & Fears“ at the Global Window
Hopes & Fears is a project developed especially for the Global Window in cooperation with Dolores Labs, a Web 2.0 marketing firm. Mechanical Turk and other social network websites will be used to line up volunteers to knock on our window and spend some time with us elaborating on their hopes and fears about our future. Any and all forms of live interaction (singing, dancing, a speech, poetry,…) are welcome. Contributors will be compensated for taking part. Please pre-register at info {at} 80plus1(.)org.
Live Bit: Dhaka-Markets
Global Window will also feature a live report from one of Dhaka’s countless markets daily from 12 Noon to 1 PM CET. Details about this Live Bits project are also available online here.
Live Stream
All of our Global Window activities will also be streamed live on our website every day. We cordially invite you to a real-time viewing of Global Window content here and, of course, to get actively involved and take part in the live activities yourself!
