A few months ago Cirque du Soleil launched a pilot project
in partnership with Create.it. It is a coopetition where Cirque du Soleil wants
participants to use technology in a new, creative way. They “are seeking
technological creativity such as an ingenious use of new techniques or
innovative use of old ones, resulting in an original experience.” There must be
an artistic element to the piece that drives it forward. So far the submissions
are of only old videos that either people found and posted that is of someone
else’s work, or is old work of theirs. The contest ends in February. This pilot
project is a perfect way of merging technology and art. All it needs is some
participants who aren’t trying to cheat or rip Cirque off.
