Cultural_Fusion
Cultural Fusion is an Art:Movement, an Art:Series and a Project:Gallery emerging from multiple encounters that include Attention:Dialogues, Source:Collaborations, and Business:Sponsorships.
The Antiphon
Cultural Fusion is an Art:Series in response the question,
"what can i do?" Inspired by the the Millenium Campaign
What is this about?
As a development site this is my model done before the full size marble sculpture is undertaken. This is the development space for my Art:Series that is also a WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy service/product with multiple dimensions. The question was: what does WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy infused with Attention look like? This Project is the reply.
- From an artistic perspective it is a virtual Ring_Galaxy called Comfusion. This Ring_Galaxy is created by an Event called Cultural_Fusion that happens over a period of time, like the creation of an actual place. This site gives you a glimpse into the complex process involved in birthing what will make up Cultural_Fusion, as well as insight into what it is evolving to become...a simulated environment for creating models for living (personal growth, business growth, community renewal and economic development, etc.) that make a culture of peace based on global social responsiblity possible and sustainable. This virtual space provides a "testing" or lab space for new ways of collaborating to expand the concept of profit to include Social_Capital. The Art:Series is the response to the question "what can i do?" inspired by The Millennium Campaign.
- From a Business perspective it is the implementation of a targeted WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy that is infused with Attention to cultivate Social_Capital by applying new approaches to information and communication technology informed by an emerging networked, Experience-oriented, economy. This WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy is distinguished by it's Attention to philosophical exploration of a Business:Model that is not based on the precept of Attention:Conflict (i.e. competition).
- A primary consideration is that this Project promote the application and development of FOSS (free open source software) inspired open business models to insure equal access for developing and disadvantaged communities ;while creating bridges to opportunities for as many as possible.
- This is also a development Space for Ronald_Wopereis's next book advancing his Theory of Attention
Update
The new site will be a starting point for collaborative exploration in developing solutions for you, project implementations for Pras' Practical Utopia and Network Research Institute (new pages coming) as points of convergence with the first visitors/residents/members and sponsors to Hotel Infinity. Phase 2 will represent headway in developing the more 3D virtual world for real world applications. Moving us ever closer to the place where WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy automates Global Social Responsibility.
The Fusion_Enlightenment through SoulFood Tradition concept paper draft (second) was completed November 26, 2006
Answering a call
When we seek to answer the calls of suffering it is important to question the kind of help offered and the context of the situation and at the same time who can turn a blind ear/eye to those being slaughtered? How can we be a part of the next chapter?
As a social enterprise Cultural Fusion supports grassroots economic development by working with those organizations already providing support in their respective fields. Instead of duplicating what exists we are interested in strengthening the bridges to access and those that can connect us for the best.
Watch (combined both videos are less than 10 minutes) The Shift & One video raising awareness of genocide
Over the years i have done more than one blog post or email mailing about the Genocide in Darfur. In my quest to understand how this continues i have had to turn inwards to ask myself, what-is-peace? because i understand that it is a journey that begins with self. That is the journey that our Project endeavors to offer to everyone. What can we learn from each other?
Status quo
It has been pointed out to me more than once that research shows that society has grown apathetic to the suffering of others. However, i think it is worth pointing out that this is not universally true. Rather the suffering of some is easier to turn a blind eye to for (some) people.
From the perspective of this project as an art series this "reality" speaks to a concept addressed in one of the projects...the Immortal_Ego:Sadistic_Ophelia. In fact, Kerry Santo and i had a dialogue that is posted there speaks specifically to our creations as a reaction to that...Rather than developing marketing that caters to that the position made via "Sadistic Ophelia" is that those people then need to be willing to confront that reality and truth of who they have chosen to be. The Immortal Ego as Kerry's brainchild on which we collaborate and she has agreed to have her Scarybirds site be a solar system in our galaxy.
When history looks back at the multiple genocides, the systematic degradation of the planet happening in our lifetime i think people need to be able to face that they are the people who would have this happen again AND my art series aspires to document those who would not, with a special interest on those businesses, groups, and individuals that stand for making a difference. There is no great mystery about how we got this world we now have...it is the direct result of our personal and collective choices. What can we learn from what has worked or failed?
As it stands it is the least soulful art which commands the most attention and value...the worse businesses that are immortalized in "protest art" i am presenting an alternative to protest art- "art as philosophy" as a vehicle/framework for meaningful marketing. So rather than going for a "mass consumption" approach i'm more interested in the "boutique markets"; people who are making conscious choices about who they will be and doing so for the better of humanity.
As in any art, it isn't meant to appeal to everyone.

(mixed media with paper)inspired by these opportunities and the need for affirmative vision...one perspective of the galaxy story as an allegory.
Social Causes Supported
The projects here are planned to benefit these core Organizations and causes:
Add your voice to those who know there is a better way
- Organization:FootstepsForLife - a UK based charity that helps HIV/AIDS orphans in Africa specifically and impoverished children in general. I have worked with one of their board members Humanity:Bonny_Umeadi and we have discussed a long term connection between the organization, whose purpose is fundraising to support the projects. I am interested in developing the Cultural Fusion projects as a revenue stream for funding to support vital grassroots work.
- Organization:EmpowermentWorks - a U.S. based charity it provides the broad program synergy for the Cultural Fusion projects/mission. The Executive Director Humanity:Melanie_St_James is a kindred spirit in terms of her vision and their current work and programs seem to almost dovetail with Cultural Fusion community renewal project models that support awareness of the ecosystems in which businesses and communities have to thrive. Empowerment Works (EW) is an international non-profit think-tank and implementing organization dedicated to advancing a collaborative, multi-sector model of sustainable economic development.
- IRC Although no relationship yet exist with the organization I have an interest in developing a project series to benefit their work. The International Rescue Committee serves refugees and communities victimized by oppression or violent conflict worldwide. Founded in 1933, the IRC is committed to freedom, human dignity, and self-reliance. This commitment is expressed in emergency relief, protection of human rights, post-conflict development, resettlement assistance, and advocacy. They have a pre-existing partnership option: Cause-Marketing PromotionsPartner with the IRC on cause-related marketing programs and corporate advertising campaigns to benefit the cause, the consumers, and the company.If you have are connected to or have Business:Contacts in within the organization, an introduction would be appreciated :-)
The plan is that 35% of each project will benefit the above partnering organizations according the attention paid and direct assistance with any given event or project.I am interested in, at the close of an event, the individual works of components in an installation can be auctioned off and the ongoing projects will generate sustainable revenue streams to support important work that is distributed among the members and beneficiaries according to the quality of attention paid to the projects susccess.
And although there is no agreement in place and there has been no discussion with Amnesty International I'm eager to explore how our project(s) can benefit the organization that helped to awaken in me the value of ONE ensured that the band U2 would have a treasured place in my memory of such.
Cultural Fusion from the ground up
In this case that should probably be from the soul outward, but anyway....
As the Cultural_Fusion Source:Artist who developed the concepts informing this work along with Ronald Wopereis. Ron provides insight and support on applying/exploring his work with Attention, as well as making introductions to advance our work. I develop the art projects, build project teams and assist with Project:Management to support the implementation of project plans. Organization:iFOSSF is our research partner and Pras_Anand is joining forces with us to advance his work with social computing and "Practical Utopia". In addition we have a growing group of collaborators and team members (mostly) listed Humanity and supporters at various Cultural Fusion Outposts including zaadz
Each WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy solution is approached in the context of its place as an Art:Work in the Art:Series. Some customers are co-artists (part of the development team), some are end users of the community enterprise systems and games emerging and then we have collaborators called Sponsors.
Blended reality - For example
A real in world Installation with a virtual counterpart that will evolve through artists insights combined with audience/participant interaction. At the end it will comprise of Installation stations. The Installation Project will tour and each station will be added during the tour based on audience interaction/behavior from the previous exhibition.
I want to find a transportation service using renewable energy or biofuel alternative to help promote the tour. (That would be an example of a sponsorship opportunity.) Most of the Installations also seek to utilize and familarize audiences with new materials and technology that support the radical changes in lifestyle, production, consumption, and disposal that are needed to address major issues such as global warming and global dimming within the next 10 years.
The Hotel_Infinity website is the portal that will link the in world events to the online ones to expand the audiences in real time….as archived events they will be part of the Hotel Gallery or the Knowledge Library (as there will be hosted discussions etc) that can be used as part an online marketing strategy.
If you have a contact management software that works for both PC and mobile devices, Cultural_Fusion events are your launch event, R&D, or relationship building opportunity. As we face issues associated with overflowing landfills new industries emerge (i.e. textiles made from recycled plastics) and need to be introduced in a memorable context to connect with existing/potential customers. If you connect with your endusers, everyone else will follow.

Why Cultural Fusion?
Talks Charles Leadbeater: The rise of the amateur professional
To understand the larger scientific and social context of this work see The New Story at Global MindShift and read this short article Cultural Evolution at Global Mindshift
The Story:
Once upon a time there was a question....amplified by the millions it gave way to an antiphon that would be more than words. It would provide the sparks that ignited Cultural Fusion. By the millions, even billions, humans are realizing that we need a story that unites us to act in the interest of the common good.
After reading about Simmulism I felt it provided the perfect context for this experiment. An endeavor into the feasibility of creating a culture of peace...a simulation environment that could be used to "test" new models for community and economic development based on public-private partnerships and the value of the individual.
"How will you fund this research? You need to build a lab, hire experts, get equipment...where will the money come from? ...This all seems perfectly lovely but unless you show how this can make money who's going to care?" asked the well meaning passers-by. "How does this help me?" asked most. That's when the soul of this project gained strength...I saw a hypothesis taking shape (with regard to facing a multitude of issues) that held at its core Source:Acceptance and Law of Attraction in discovering the nature of WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy infused with Attention and Passion. But what kind of lab is needed to experiment with creation of a galaxy that serves the global community AND has enhances fiscal or personal interests? Hint: Cutting-edge 3D gaming environment that supports offline events
This inquiry led to getting the research underway with a clear set of question, enhanced by a committed core group of individuals who embrace Radical_Inclusion as the first step.
Yes, that was the place to start...taking that step to see where it leads. The The Theory of Attention in a defined context provides steady illumination, step-by-step the treasure that has emerged as SoulFood surpasses any known precious substance. Amazingly it can be found in every community and individual with the heart to acknowledge it. That is the power THE STORYTELLER has always known.
When I watched the The New Story meme above I had a huge "a ha!" moment that deepened my excitement about this experiment into what automation of social responsibility really means and what it will look like....in this first incarnation as artistic movement that unites the mind and heart of the individual and the by uniting art and business as ingredients it endeavors to explore paths to the same for our world.
Welcome to this piece of global Performance:Art that takes
Multimedia and interdisciplinarity to a whole new level!
Genesis
View the Genesis of this concept.
Why ART?
"Art, in its own unique way of expression, is a way out of this dilemma. The dilemma is that our minds must be free, unique, without conflict or arguement; yet our intuition is one. The project about attention is to find out , how these two perspectives of mind and intuition can exist concurrently. Our translation of mind = HOW , the expression, the shaping. And the translation of intuition = WHAT , the content, the formless. Together they form a Attention:Bilocality. There can not be content without form, no fruit without skin. And yet there can be no form without content; borders exist by the virtue of Attention:Contrast."
From Ron Aug 1, 10:14 am
How does CF solve these issues?
Dialogue
Hosted dialogues about the Events and questions related to them will be an extended part of the events. In fact we have a partner to provide mobile integration for event registration, q&a, discussions, etc. to connect our offline events synchronized with virtual ones via Hotel_Infinity
Cultural Fusion causes Fusion Enlightenment where CF is about a re-visioning of business and the ecosystems in which they must thrive which integrates R&D, community renewal through creative expression.
- **It offers a flexible means of generating revenue that can contribute to organization sustainability for nonprofits and social enterprises, at the same time it provides the means to involve others in Global Social Responsibility as they meet their own professional needs. The result is a WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy that successfully integrates Social_Capital into a "winning by sharing"**** approach.
See: Project:Oci_Novosti
Alternative to competition
"The art of dialogue is the ugly duck looking in the pond, seeing its mirror image. The art of unknowing is the ugly duck, asking itself if being different means being less equal. So where do we go from here? What is normal? What is frustration? And how can Art help to build the bridge to a future, where each person is acknowledged for their uniqueness, and radically included in this one whole that is incomplete without the last person at their own unique place." From Ron Aug 1, 10:25 am
When you combine these SoulFood:Ingredients it is the answer to the Spinoza:pains:
- Artists commonly struggle to balance the Need to remain connected to the experiences that inspire with the Need to support themselves.
- Businesses/organizations need to attract Attention to build interest and Trust that will support Source:Relationships to increase sales/support and enhance the sustainability of communities and ecosystem
*
- Community museums and collections need to be digitized for preservation and increased access with consideration for their needs, as in the case of rural communities or developing countries
*
- End users are increasingly dependent on technology, that is complex and not developed with them with in mind, to manage and analyze information
- The planet needs a humanity that will act in its GLOBAL best interest.
Attention:Contrast showcase specialization and expertise.
Fusion defined:
Fusion means to create something new by combining different elements.
See Fusion as in Gene Fusion at wikipedia
Cultural Fusion is:
* The Game:
Cultural Fusion is the event which creates Comfusion, a Ring_Galaxy, in response to the times we find ourselves in.
Perhaps this is an endeavor to fulfill the growing need for a new kind of story, one to fill the hunger once satisfied by...
Here the mythology for the game is based on finding the context for "the self" in a reality that is both personal and shared. The game is the story woven as this project series has evolved and it is powered by imagination. Cultural Fusion is the experience that has brought us all together and you are invited to stay for as long as you like.
While working on Immortal_Ego:Sadistic_Ophelia this idea of tension to create a solid virtual world based loosely on the idea of gravitational fields that cause masses to orbit and create planets in solar systems accept here applied to virtual masses(websites) that are linked together to create solar systems with orbiting planets because that is the precurser to construction, came to me. Only here the question was how to create this tension to start forming solar systems? The answer came to me when Ron decided to link some of the Attention references back to his other development space.
So the places where bits of Cultural Fusion dust are swirling there is a chance for a solid mass to accumulate, while in places where dialogues on Cultural_Fusion have occurred or do in the future become evolving masses that could become planets in Solar Systems yet to be identified or named.
The people on this development site are the Founders, the first to arrive and start building the infrastructure required for us to build a new civilization based on the cultures taking shape within these individual fusion events or Projects. In the sense that we're building in a galaxy, not to mention new plantets, this project will evolve in the commercial sense as virtual real estate in a real community. People will be able to purchase or rent space in this 3D world that you'll participate in via a gaming environment to get the help you need, to be entertained as you work towards a better world...there will be order, peace and prosperity for all. And we'll help you set up shop doing what you love to do.
It's Monopoly gone off the charts until it encounters Star Trek and mingles with Myst to become this genius hybrid that looks abit like Eve Online.
Online communities provide a virtual lab for offline activities. What if a virtual place provided the lab for a culture of peace, and rather than resisting that it is economics and the human story/myths that have been the driving force, we seek to create a new global story for our world?
To ensure that there is maximum inclusion there will also be a 2D version so that people with lower speed connections or without video cards can also be engaged and benefit from what Comfusion has to offer.
See: GamePlay
* From the Practical Perspective:
For Business Owners and Managers:
The smartest, most successful companies, for example, take pains to pursue not only present customer desires but anticipated, as-yet unexpressed, customers needs and desires in the future. Such projections require both research and imagination.Take Toyota, for example, perennially ranked among the top five sellers of cars and trucks in the US….
The companies who are innovative ask totally different questions from those who are not…A traditional set of management questions begins with ‘How can we listen to our market better?' and ‘How can we meet customers' requirements?' But creative companies like Toyota ask ‘How can we SURPRISE our market?' Answering that one requires a high level of commitment to management creativity.”
… “It's a very dangerous thing for companies to feel they're sitting pretty the way things are happening today…when you're faced with the kind of continual market and product changes we see today, you've got to get ahead of the curve. That demands utilizing creativity.”
If you are a businesses that shares our interest in the following there may be a Cultural Fusion opportunity for you:
- lead the way in setting new standards in CSR,
- get/enjoy a fresh new approach to generating new contacts,
- foster relationships with new and existing customers,
- enjoy higher search/web visibility,
- see increased customer conversions,
- cultivate customer advocates that increase customer loyalty/retention,
- reduce R&D costs,
- build social capital,
- stand out from the pack for the right reasons,
- lead customer inspired innovation in your industry,
- and have access to key market (group leaders, tech savvy, word of mouth advocates) segments within the artists/creatives and social enterprise niche.
Attention Services Brochure
!
This is a research project delving into my model for community and economic development Models that support sustainability advancing the ideas put forward by Paulo Frere in Pedagogy of the Oppressed. In this case by focusing on art (culture) and business development as expressive therapy approaches supported by innovative applications of ICT (information and communication technology). More specifically, how this kind of self-help pay-it-forward, winning-by-sharing initiative can enhance the FOSS (free open source software) movement to bridge the digital divide and provide sustainable solutions that address poverty at the root levels; thereby creating a new model based on a social networking concept of community. Furthermore, Comfusion becomes an opportunity to watch this community grow from it's virtual origins.
I suggest that FOSS and ICT will be for this movement (infusing Attention and love into business via WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy) what the Bessemer process was to the steel and railroad industries that transformed the world by making a quantum leap in product transportation to give birth to the Industrial Age...this time I feel it will be what Robert Florida termed the "creative class" only I expand this term to be what I call "radically inclusive" reaching out to create bridges between the developing and developed worlds to automate global social responsibility.
"It is a radical re-envisioning of business development in which the concept for the business product/service is regarded as a work of art where time and place are colored by the Internet and IT within a WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy framework to create hybrid solutions that successfully meet the challenges posed.
The new Performance:Art and Multimedia Source:Collaboration Art:Series from Yvette Dubel / Organization:WebAntiphon Corporation (U.S.). The series will explore the Source:Relationship between Art and Business as a mechanism in the approach to customer retention and brand building. From that starting point, other Projects or Hotel_Infinity:Rooms will reveal new questions and present additional concepts to be explored, so there is no defined end to the project.”
-- taken from my research paper "Love and Money in the Attention Age"
In addition, it is a radical inclusion of protest art in terms of defining the Art:Work as WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy. It is about affirming the positive through the exploration in this idea:
"The work of the individual still remains the spark that moves mankind ahead
even more than teamwork."
Igor Sikorsky
Although i have to say, this Project has brought together the most incredible team i've ever encountered!
"The art of dialogue is then, to understand that HOW and WHAT, mind and intuition, affect one another. I use my attention to feel, and if i want to analyse my feeling with my mind, i use part of this feeling-attention for mind-attention. The result is that i have less attention less to feel. Then my mind tells me that i loose grip of my feelings. I try even harder, which means i take away even more feeling-attention and use it for my mind to work harder. And in this process, where feelings are gone and the mind is left with nothing to shape, to analyze... This is where you and i need to be a team. One is the mind, the other is the intuition. This game, this dance, is a never ending one, you and i can switch roles each and every millisecond. Most people don't realize that the game continues : that it is a quantum process, where the reality is different, depending on whether you observe , be aware , or whether you don't."
From Ron Aug 1, 10:14 am
This Project represents radical inclusion as a WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy that cultivates Social_Capital by focusing on significant niche market(s).
From that starting point other Art:Work Projects or rooms in Hotel Infinity] will reveal new questions and present additional Concepts to be explored.
Hotel Infinity on Comfusion
I want my CF-GoGameRoom internet Art:Work Source:Collaboration with Ronald Wopereis to function as the Hotel_Infinity:Lobby entertainment for Hotel_Infinity in Comfusion as a place where the world can work or visit. The Ring_Galaxy is the model for this relationship that creates the Art:Work. Cultural Fusion is the event that results in this Ring_Galaxy. CF_Website:Visitors can observe a CF_Website:CF-GoGameRoom but must become a CF_Website:Member to play.
Applying something along the lines Eve Online in terms of a virtual community constructed offering 3D gaming technology version and a 2D version for this phase 1 implementation. Think mixed use development, inclusive and welcoming but with community standards in place...imagine the Galleria and updated for a new age using the idea of Hotel_Infinity.
Cultural Fusion in Comfusion
As all this takes place in Comfusion which is my Ring_Galaxy (Source:Context) for my exploration in new models for sustainable development and multimedia art, that also advances the research interest of the Comfusion:Founding_Members.
For Artists and Freelance Professionals:
Because on a purely personal level as sponsors emerge I look to see who in my network is most interested, has the right vibe and best able to deliver what is required. I discuss this more here, so keep reading…
As an Artist (Cultural_Fusion Group)
We are available for commissions or you may select a sponsorship opportunity from one of the existing or emerging projects (see pod discussion to view my new work). Each one advance my goal of developing solutions that engage increasing numbers of people in systems that automate global social responsibility (GSR). To understand Cultural_Fusion as an Art:Movement and solution of interest click this link.
As a Social Enterprise
The projects in Cultural_Fusion benefit core organizations that address assistance for HIV/AIDS orphans in Africa, assistance for impoverished children, grassroots community economic development, literacy, the arts as a tool in cross-cultural dialogues, global cooperation on problematic issues, and FOSS (free open source software) inspiration via iFOSSF. You can see the other organization the project will benefit here
IF this matters to you please keep reading….if something isn't clear please send me a message and ask or post it in on the discussion board.
Current Status
Last year we partnered with the artists at Organization:NGO_Art_Studio in Macedonia to launch the Project:what-is-peace Art:Series. This year…
i've decided i'm in the process of attracting sponsors for this installation piece this year and that will be part of the announcement when the Hotel Infinity site officially launches on the International Day of Peace (Sept 21) with “Another little Peace 2007”.
Alot of GREAT things can happen in the next 30 days….
and one of them has been joining forces with Cyres Cafe for both our online and “in world” art hotel Hotel Infinity chain.]
The new phase1 website will launch with a gift shop benefiting HIV/AIDS orphans. The gift shops virtual gifts include sponsoring the supplies or care of a child, etc.
We need**
businesses to sponsor “thank you gifts” for purchases. We encourage something a little more unexpected to go along with the free logo pens (posters, note card sets, fine art prints, sculpture, lithographs and limited editions, music, ringtones, mobile and desktop wallpapers/themes, organic cotton shirts featuring an Immortal_Ego
- , etc) to be used as “promotional items”, but the options are only limited by the imagination. The great thing about working with artists is that creativity is in no short supply….and i have a network full of amazingly talented people! In fact we have a partner to provide mobile integration for event registration, q&a, etc. to connect our offline events synchronized with virtual ones via Hotel Infinity.
*The Immortal Egos did very well in market testing. They had a broad range of appeal across cultural, gender and age demographics.
Background
I have been developing this project primarily with Ronald Wopereis and iFOSSF as the technical R&D partner. I am working with Ronald on his next book advancing his Theory of Attention. Recently Pras Anand has joined forces with us to connect his work with Social Computer (SoCo) and Practical Utopia to our Cultural_Fusion experience.
We are also developing this as a cultural and media (arts focused) demonstration project for iFOSSF that will explore an open business model and processes inspired by the bootstrapping model used by the FOSS movement. We are exploring FOSS AND private license applications that create the SOA to deliver the desired functionality in a streamlined UI (user interface) for the purpose of developing solutions that advance my goal of developing solutions that automate GSR. The infrastructure will be powered by a new approach to community enterprises.
The intention is to do so for the purpose of facing multiple challenges with interdisciplinary models that empower stakeholders to be engaged in solutions.
Any questions?
**
A short movie from MellaniuM_Designs gave us a first glimpse of the first prototype. Since then things have evolved and the Game has its own page now.
Yes, you can be the Project:Sponsor for an Event or be a Comfusion:Founding_Member. We'll have a prototype for Hotel_Infinity the first property being developed at Comfusion. See GamePlay
It provides a great model for inclusive participation in CF, the rooms are an expansion of this idea and the rooms can naturally grow out of project activity in the community and the team that helps me put this together will be represented as the stores/businesses in this community who essentially sale the services showcased by becoming the Comfusion:Founding_Members.
The Event at the virtual place (CF at comfusion) will be connected via the internet with real Offline Events including Installations and Event:Exhibition receptions and maybe a networking Events. So all three venues are connected even though they take place at different places and times because of the convergence online at Comfusion and Events will be combined to create new Art:Works that explore ideas about Business:Time and Space in the creation of place.
Cultural Fusion Sponsorship
- creative Source:Collaborations with Project:Sponsors
can include: Events, Project such as Immortal_Ego or we can create a new game for you and your customers to play
- the option of having a general work created
example: a cartoon that communicates your business message or whatever you want to say that creative would be promoted on it's own as part of the CF_Website:Sponsorship benefit AND included in the Artist:Portfolio and online Creative_Content as part of a businesses SEO (search engine optimization) WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy
- creative Source:Collaborations with the Art:Artist to create Art:Work and in this context that can also mean retaining a consultant to develop a strategy or address a challenge for your business or organization.
USP of Cultural Fusion
- this offers a more engaging way to deliver a sales message than a traditional ad and supports relationship building with customer base. More importantly the opportunity exist to form Source:Connections and sustainable bonds based on Source:Collaborations to make the world a better place. Project:Oci_Novosti
further development of Cultural Fusion
- this Art:Work can then be developed further into a Published_Print to benefit MDG whatever cause the business wanted for imprinted promotional items, such as being included in giftbags for Cultural Fusion Events
- it can be incorporated into a digital Art:Piece
example: a cartoon converted into an animation
- The ICT infrastructure for Cultural Fusion will give way to development of free sustainable systems to benefit global communities inclusively
- The real estate in Comfusion waits to be developed with sensitivity and responsibility.
Showcase of Cultural Fusion
- The Creative_Event is the linking up of the creative work for that specific Project that can include traditional mediums like Art:Painting, Art:Collage, Art:Sculpture, Installations and they are connected to the online Project:Gallery
work in progress
unresolved comment
- As competition for eyeballs becomes more intense online, the public's reliance on the guidance of marketing engineers and magical search engines is unlikely to favor independent content Creators.
- The prominent Internet portals will soon be pitching music and movies, so even less attention will be focused on independent Artists, Authors, and modestly funded organizations.
- A Need has arisen for popular portals that feature independently produced content.
external examples looked at
- The Art Entertainment Network website explores this possibility.
- AEN is not a conventional portal because, instead of serving as a general starting point for information, it foregrounds art and online experiences.
- "Still it is sufficiently portal-like to beg the question of whether AEN, or something like it, could develop a sizable group of regular CF_Website:Visitors."
- In its current form, CF_Website:Visitors to AEN are unlikely to return frequently because it was not designed to offer many of the most popular portal services that foster community
- "Having already acknowledged by its very title the blurring of art and entertainment, is it surprising to consider a further hybridization with popular Internet services?"
- AEN would be more important if it could cast off its subaltern status, becoming more of an everyday starting point and less of a seasonal Exhibition.
the future of CF
- I see CF as a hybrid that crosses the line to feature Sponsored_Content AND still give Artist a place to plug there sites/Projects etc in a place where they will actually be seen by potential buyers
- CF has the potential to spread like wildfire because it has this magical spark
- CF is a place where Business:Deals can be made and managed
- The Exhibitions are sponsored with specially created Art:Work celebrating the Project:Sponsors
- The Events showcase a mix of Independent and Project:Sponsored Art:Work
- a more artistic and philanthropic approach is being taken to marketing strategy....where the Art:Works also benefit community or social organizations
- CF blurs the lines between what is real and what is virtual in new and amazing ways
market considerations
- Most Art:Artist sites are not very well promoted or they ignore WebAntiphon:Clear_CRM_Strategy
- Many marketing programs for artist don't offer a free option and they aren't customized
- Rather than competing in an existing market Cultural Fusion creats a new one based on a different model
- Communities at the site will be cultivated around the Project that interest them but they're still free to get involved in other areas
- Cultural Fusion has a concept and business model that uniquely combine proven strategies
From the Hotel_Infinity
Preposterous! shouted Kronecker He tells me to come visit the infinite as though it is something waiting to be discovered or explored, skipping over entirely the fact that ordinary people can not figure out a way for it to get there. If he cannot tell me how that place is constructed, it is neither real nor useful and people should stay away! And furthermore...
Listen to this ridiculous man! burst in Sam. I am sure he cannot tell me how to construct a stomach, yet this has never prevented him from staying away from his lunch! Source: Hotel Infinity
