Davidic Lineage Personal Data hasn't added a story.
My name's Dave, and I was in a pedestrian automotive incident when I
was 18. I suffered damage to two lobes and endured a short coma as
well as shattered sinuses and long undiagnosed ptsd as a result. Life
has been quite the roller coaster since then; I've ended up homeless
more than once, sometimes for extended periods. I learned early on
that cannabis greatly relieved many of my symptoms, and as a result of
that discovery would eventually end up imprisoned for the possession
of 1200 plants in the dark days of prohibition.
Anyone familiar with a neuro-psychological evaluation is welcome
to take a look at mine.
David S Carr's NPE
Many might consider the sharing of such a document a breach of
privacy, but I am uniquely formatted by the vagaries of my life to
care quite a bit less about my own privacy than most. Thus, I am
uniquely positioned to exploit a niche few others would ever think to.
I can be on camera for the rest of my life, even on live stream
for significant stretches of it, and not succumb to embarrassment. I
can be recorded in the most intimate of circumstances and not be
phased by the idea in the least. Not only that, but given sufficient
control mechanisms I'm even given to allowing a certain level of
audience participation.
Some of my contemporaries might remember a Pacman game on Super
Nintendo that was less than well received. The player would not
actually play the character, but instead would influence the
character's environment in attempts to subtly motivate the protagonist
in accordance with the player's aims.
This is sort of what I have in mind.
The deeper concept I am exploring is detailed at DavidicLineage.com, and entails long term data
brokering in a manner that could conceivably solve the Default Income
conundrum. I fully intend to record my every experience for the rest
of my Earthly existence as of launch, but for the record the Playable
Dave Project itself is planned as a limited run. I'll start with a
three month season with the intention of producing three more for a
total of one fully live-streamed year.
My idea, simply put, is to use augmented reality to enable the
crowd sourcing of my decisions. Audience members will be free to place
bounties on certain courses of action, tasks or other acts I might
undertake as I make my way through Vancouver, or wherever the game
might take me. My habitat(s) will be rigged more invasively than the
Big Brother franchises ever dreamed of, I will wear a portable
data/footage gathering mechanism at all times outside the habitat(s),
and every last moment of my experience over the course of the Project
will be live streamed. That is, I won't always be interacting with
them, but the audience is always welcome to watch.
My request for funding is to cover various expenses that will be
incurred in the establishment of necessary frameworks. First stage
funding ($15k) would allow me to shoestring the portable mechanism and
modify my current habitat as well as procure an augmented reality
device; second stage funding ($35k) would result in a legal framework
to enable franchising of both the Project model and the larger
Personal Data Company network; third stage ($1M) would make a custom
habitat possible; fourth stage ($5M) would enable not only myself but
three other "party members" to take up the Playable mantle,
though their streams would not be constant unless I find candidates as
suited as myself; and with fifth stage funding ($25M), the core plot
of the series becomes the building of a conglomeration of the Personal
Data Companies of disadvantaged individuals of various stripe into a
lobby capable human resources and human data megacorp.
That's right folks. An individualist lobby, financed by an
international mega-corporation with integrated Union and Guild. Pretty
crazy, right?
I can't do this alone, of course. Your contribution, whether of
funds or simply word of mouth, will help a traumatically brain injured
man not only get back on his feet, but document every step of his
social recovery.
So join the Playable Dave team, and ride the wave of the future!
