As usual - I'm starting to get used to that - there still a lot to be
explained on your last communication, (you must be clearer when you
stablish products on a deal). For instance:
1) Would you mind explaining me or even send to me the terms of
Agreement of KISPRO and ARS ELETRONICA where you specify what are you
going to produce in Linz?
The infrastructure: 2 real stages? How big they must be? How many real
actors? How many lightspots Varilites? Video-beam - what for and how
many? How exactly you are planning the images+performances in
cyberstage/ webstage? Why should my team here have to give up all our
efforts up to now to bring the austrian team + stage + lights +
computers if we all planned before to build the whole stuff here with
the advisory of the oudeis team?
2) So you mean that the software produced by TUWIEN will be not able to
send the data to RIO, but only to 2 stages in Linz/Viena? What Rainer/
TUWien has to say about that? how can you send the data to Viena and not
to Rio? The people in the Catholic University and even Santiago - my
advisors - said you can. Or this socalled Prototyp will not include an
internet transmition in order not to bring virtual and real actors to
real stages?
3) What exactly you mean by: "...what can be shown in September 1997 is
a projection of the webstage for a bigger audience in Rio who will also
have the opportunity to play the choros of course." I'm sorry folks, but
do you have an idea of how many videoshows are performed in Rio de
Janeiro monthly? We even had a daily video transmition of some views of
the city in the Net during many months while the Olimpic Games Campain.
Which bigger audience in Rio you have in mind to entertain with an
isolated videoshow?
4) What do you mean by a possibility of a real stage in October? Showing
what? Why 'till up to now you are still not able to describe in what the
whole project has been transformed to be sold to the Ars Eletronica
Festival? This could help us to have a concrete idea from what we are
dealing with.
The point is the following: Are you able to develop the software or not?
Are you willing to send it to us to help you to make a real event/
prototyp/demo or whatsoever or not?
I would appreciate if you could be so kind to answer my questions asap,
in order to define new steps. Thereafter I will consult my partners here
and send you further statements.
all the best
F.
P.S: it seems that Francesco Verdinelli <f.verdinelli@flashnet.it> has a
similar project in Italy too isn't it? Do you what is it about?
