i agree on this. i think we're _using_ internet as a medium (just as we
could use phone or fax, besides money differences). but there are two
things that i consider _very_ important in the project and those are the
web-stage (which hasn't even been thought about yet) and the choros (wich
is under development right now).
about the web-stage, i think this is the first thing we should start to
work on after the 12th (probably after a week of vacation for
everybody...). the idea (or at least what i understand about it) is to show
theatre (and yes, this is theatre after all) in a NEW way, a different way
that will let the audience experience things it cannot experience when
going to a RL theatre piece. but this is as far as the concept goes. i
don't think we have gone beyond the point at which we all agreed we would
not do a 'web-video' thing.
i imagine something that will mix sounds (some coming in realtime from
around the world, some brought to my computer beforehand), images (and
that's not a small, lousy still picture changing every few seconds but
something that should really blow our minds off), and interaction (although
i know we will not let the audience 'change' the action, i do believe the
spectator should be able to change his environment to suit his needs, to
decide were to look, to do something besides just sitting and looking).
about the choros (and i know maybe this sounds a bit awkward, since i'm the
one most involved in this), i know it's (at least for know) the only real
interaction web-audience will have, the onlw modification made to the
actual content of oudeis throughout the world, so that my action here (and
let's say 'here' means some house lost in the middle of nowhere, in
nowherecountry) changes what all of us will hear all around the globe... in
fact it creates it!
i'm sure we can come out with other ways of providing life to all this.
maybe we should do something like the choros for the screens also, maybe we
can use the information gathered about our web-audience in another way...
and probably any of us can come with a great idea about how to do any of
this things.
a problem we had was that until now we were lacking hands, people that
would devote time to this development. there's reiner (and he's 'breaking
holes' out of his work to work with us) and there's georg (who some hours
ago, answering my question 'but weren't you a philosopher told me something
like 'yeah, i thought so also, but you see...'). now there's aaron kaplan
with us, and i think with the three of them working together with the rest
of us we will be able to create something (together) that will really be
'f----g incredible'.
we just have to work on it.
