You can access the blog at confessionstoadigitalgod.wordpress.com. Even though the blog is up and running and can be accessed by the public. It isn't completely finished yet, this is just a rough design and layout.
One of the first pages that I have created to feature at the front of the blog is an 'About' page. This would allow the viewers to read a small briefing on what the installation piece is about and why the video's are being displayed on the blog.
I will feature a few more pages on the blog that isn't yet presented on the blog. One of these pages will be a contact page featuring my name and email for those who wish to get in contact with me for what ever reason.
The blog also features an approved comments section below the video's, for those who view the confessions would be able to make a helpful comment/advice that would hopefully give the person confessing some advice, and as it's an approved comments section all comments would have to be approved by me. This would stop any negative comments against the confessions.
As we discussed on Monday I think the idea still needs some development. Questions to ask yourself: Why will people want to come and sit in your booth and speak to the digital god? Why do you want to film them with masks? Won't they still be recognised? Should this be a sound piece? What is the purpose of reposting the recordings (video and/or sound) to a blog afterwards? You are hoping for 2 levels of engagement with the audience - in the gallery and online - and you should rationalise why you are doing this, the purpose or how you want your audience to respond so the work is coherent. Some further reading and research around performance and digital media is necessary. Look at the reading lists that I posted in M&J unit area in MyUCA to help clarify your ideas.
