Exemplar Strategy - Virtual

Virtually Venice

Virtually Venice celebrates and adds to the connections between Venice and China. It began with the legendary story of Marco Polo’s meeting with the Mongol Emperor, Kublai Khan. In these portrayals of how Khan might have imagined Venice after their conversations, the city takes on aspects of the East and reconfigures itself in new architectural forms. While the two protagonists metaphorically represent East and West, this research aims to investigate cultural/identities differences and similarities.

Hey, just came across your blog by chance doing an image search, got some great posts and images. CJ Lim did a guest lecture at my university (Sheffield Hallam) earlier this week, it was about Virtual Venice too. I love those Dan Slavinsky images too - might have to try something like that myself.

Cool, thanks Oliver. Yes i was really interested to learn about CJ Lim. I'm sure it was an interesting lecture - he seems very passionate. What year are you in? We just finished 4th year yesterday, which is a great feeling. Means i have graduated. Trying to decide now whether or not to carry on and do masters (we have 4+1 for the course here). It's a tough course. Yes i have been very inspired by Dan Slavinsky's imagery...it is really unique. Have you got a blog? or any work up online?

The Enterprisor

The Enterprisor is a concept.

In essence, it is a platform to promote collaboration through participatory media and collective action.

It transcends the physical and virtual realms.

It is a self-organising system that is more indeterminate than governed; more open source than controlled, more process than product.The Enterprisor provides an opportunity for those disadvantaged or those seeking to develop an innovation, or those willing to help to come together in an exciting collaborative environment.

The Enterprisor provides access to the tools and resources necessary for social innovation. Through virtual and real-world collaboration spaces, the connections and networks can develop as required for start-ups requiring funding, innovators requiring assistance and guidance for their particular venture, or employment models through which people can learn or improve on their skills.
