(PRWEB) August 28, 2013
A unique and completely interactive experience, Social Concert, presented by Brightline Interactive, is set to debut at SXSW 2014—but not without your help.
The session, titled “The Social Concert: Taking Physical to Digital,” will be unlike any other at SXSW presentation: an event featuring live music, technology, and, most importantly, the audience, all unified by social media. Attendees will star in their own music video, integrating the advanced interactive technology of a mobile broadcast studio.
Social Concert works like this: a live band plays well-known songs, ranging from pop to hip hop to country to oldies. Attendees enter the Social Stage and sing along in front of a green screen. Once their piece is recorded, they can share it instantaneously to their networks.
Attendees will learn about incorporating cutting-edge technology into live events via social machines—experiences that take a physical action and turn it into a digital result. Brightline will also have other social machines like the Twitterballoon—when users tweet to a SXSW-specific hashtag, causing air to be blown into a large balloon, which eventually pops and incentivizes the popping tweeter—to engage the audience.
#socialconcert is now available to voting and sharing on SXSW’s PanelPicker. The PanelPicker is a two-step online process that allows the SXSW community to have a significant voice in programming during the conference. A crowdsourced application process, PanelPicker’s popular vote is 30% of the final decision ensuring #socialconcert will launch during SXSW 2014.
