‘fancy a skype chat?’ is the first experimental event for the project 'An Event for a Conversation'.
‘fancy a skype chat?’ invites people to an online, social event hosted by the artist Rebecca Gamble.
The artist hopes to re-create the pub-like environment of informal chat around a table over a drink, by inviting people to ‘bring their own’, ‘log on’ and start chatting over Skype.
This event aims to connect people and their different environments through online conversation, in a virtual environment.
This event will be documented through the texts of the ‘Group Chat’ on Skype, from screen grab images of the artists’ desktop at 10-minute intervals, and in other ways the participants add to it. The conversations themselves will not be recorded.
