i had an idea of something like an 'introduction' to the play, with the
following contents:
- one screen with some recurrent or important phrases in the odyssey, one
of them may be the famous 'Tell me, Muse, of the man of many turns'. some
other: 'And night rose up out of heaven', 'and when the early-born,
rosy-fingered dawn appeared', 'Oudeis is my own name. Oudeis do they call
me.'.
- the other screens may show a 'confusion' based on the email messages of
the lists, putting the process in the play.
>- during the performance
see below
>- during breaks
breaks?
>- during net lags/breakdowns
- (just an idea): TV noise. (would make the 'lag' clearer to the audience)
>- after the performance
back to the email confusion, the sea.
>which screen:
>- screen 1 (leftmost)
>[...]
>- screen n (rightmost)
i don't know why, but i always thought of the maps (net route and
real-world map) being on the first and last screens, with the text in the
middle.
>what:
>
>- net data (traceroute, ping, throughput, ....)
>- the famous map of the world where odysseus voyage from point a to point b
>is displayed
>- visualization of sound (peak level meter, ....)
or the choros 'score' (remember the dot thing?)
>- text (in english and local language)
just a bunch of ideas.
best,
santiago
