(Engels)
As the Poken could be the archetype of off-line social networking, collecting Poken ID’s is still limited to the owner’s ability to travel. It’s simply not possible to connect Poken ID’s across the globe when one does not travel! I am organizing an event (#happokening020) which offers the Poken owners a place to bring the Poken handshake into action.
Mimicking social networks is only feasible when one is not limited to location. That’s why, I am suggesting a practice without the limitations of place. This is what I thought of. The PokenTelePortal should be a funny extension to the happening. The PokenTelePortal will offer (1) an entertaining contribution in bringing Poken owners together and (2) facilitate live meet-ups during Happenings simultaneously all over the world!
This year for the first time, I am going to organize a Happening. What is the plan? ‘Hap-poken-ing020′ is set to be a spectacular and spontaneous event that will harmlessly disturb the public domain of Amsterdam’s Dam square. It’s a funny way to (1) mobilize people, to (2) bring the Poken to the attention, to (3) connect to new interesting people and to (4) get some experience in the organization of such an event.
