VJAZZ the virtual collaborative improvisation

In the virtual world visual effects will be freed from the matter. Consequense : it is possible to work with visual effects in the same way as with abstract knowledge.

Virtual Jazz is a collaborative-creative-technique what is most easy to realize on SL. From a characteristic view it has similarities with brainstorming or the Semantic Intuition.

Brainstorming is an idea of Alex Osborn and developed as a method by Charles Hutchinson Clark to build ideas that produce new, eccentric ideas, formed in a group of people. He called it after the idea of this method: “Using the brain to storm a problem”. The Semantic Intuition is a creativity technique, where from the combination of words and word-images new ideas will be generated. Very well to use in generating new product-ideas.

The difference: Due a brainstorm session or with Semantic intuition there will be a concept-improvisation with the goal to get new semantic combinations out of concept improvisations to solve problems. During a Virtual Jazz session (VJS) collaborative components will be combined and varied to create new audiovisual effects. The essence of this Art-technique is: to call the unexpected and let it help in the creative process.

Improvisation: ( f. ital. Improvviso: unexpected. Proviso : expected) means: to build, act or create something without planning but ad hoc, spontaneous in the momentum. Improvisation means in normal language the spontaneous, practical use of creativity to solve problems at the spot. Improvisation as a creative method was used until now in music, dance, theater, television moderation etc.

Our Virtual JAZZ Band exist from one or more musicians and two or more visual artists. An abstract concept could be the lead, a theme and basis for the participants, to bring together their musical and visual components. Such as: black and white, love, container terminal and so on. Absolute spontaneous versions are also possible. In a Virtual jazz session its important that the participants have no idea what the other participants have in mind as audiovisual components. The goal is: use the collaborative creation process as an artwotk.
