Our three days at the Fortune Magazine Brainstorm:Tech conference were tremendous. We had great conversations with thoughtful leaders ranging from executives at leading internet companies — such as Google, MySpace, and Yahoo — to inspiring social entrepreneurs running innovative non-profits including Kiva.org and Donorschoose.org. You’ve got to love a conference that programs the CEO of Google and the legendary songwriter Neil Young practically back-to-back!
We were delighted to have such a strong response to our dance performance and to have developed a lot of interest in the Audience Engagement Platform for the Performing Arts that we are developing, on which we gave a presentation to the full assembly. We’ve made an online animated version of parts of the presentation which you can see here: www.misnomer.org/aep.
Developing solutions to empower artists and audiences online requires input from a range of voices and perspectives; we are delighted to receive so much feedback from within the performing arts world on a regular basis, and this last week, it was encouraging to see strong interest from the business and technology sectors in helping to bring new technological offerings to the arts.
A big thanks goes out to the entire team at Fortune Magazine – and especially David Kirkpatrick, Jessi Hempel, Simone Ross, and Delwyn Gray – for their bold creativity by inviting a dance performance into the midst of the conference!



In addition to the new music video “Declare Independence” directed by Michel Gondry, Bjork has another music video for “Wanderlust” due out in 2008. The video was choreographed by Chris Elam and features Misnomer dancers Brynne Billingsley and Coco Karol. As the music video is released, we will post pictures and videos of the process.
