Devices

So i was put in charge of devices. I wasnt completely sure what the devices group was suppose to be doing but we just started getting ideas. We came up with maybe posting a question on the screen and having people tweet their responses. All the responses would be posted on the projections on the stage. Maybe have responses to the stories, or have the audiences submit stories in real time. After they are submitted the actors could act out or tell the stories. That would be an interesting way of breaking the fourth wall. The actors and the audience would be seperate but would still have this connection because the story could belong to any person sitting around you. Or If an actor wasnt speaking loud enough they could just tweet to speak louder, or explain something. I think this would be a great metaphor for the way life is these days. Everyone participates in peoples lives through facebook and twitter. Most human interaction in the era is through the computer. With this idea people would be watching real life stories and commenting on them. Isnt that what most people do on facebook or twitter anyway?
