>a comparison...
i think that having that comparison was in fact good for us, since that's wh y we
got together on the first place, and those are the objectives we should not forget. Mon's reflection on 'not having the comunion between internet and theatre'
was for me quite important, since it brought me back to earth, back to the
real, big , main project we all have. last days were pure madness, ighxxxx
fighting against every technical demon imaginable :-/, and i somehow forgot
about the 'real' oudeis and what it means as a way to be together from all
around this workld.
(sorry for the mispellings... this is just a telnet session and i don't have
the 'backspace' ... i can't use it!)
>we were not able to show the bottom third of the screen the MOO
er.. i believe wxxx this was rather an advantage. we were showing the moo
in a much more 'impressive' way on the ten screens the cafe has, and this
was --in my opinion-- much better that xxx ta xxx than having the main screen
full of windoue xxx windoze garbage, and a little moo on the bottom. the
animations also gained with the change, as the y were full screen, and big.
i agree with gerniot in that next time we should have two projectors, with a
screen dedicated to each of the 'visual' aspects of the live performance,
thus giving the mixxx moo the space it deserves.
>technically unable to have a chockwave site
this is something everybody knew we would not have, my intetnion was to have
some kind of 'auto-loading' succession of pages, in sync with the real time
performance, but time --lack of it, in fact-- made this impossible.
we _will_ have something interesting on the web ... in a week of xxx or two.
my intention is to get the realaudio recording, 'down-scale' it so that a
modem connection can get it, and use the screens as the visual thing.
>failure in providing the transmitssion of real audio over most of the web
er... it was there... but it was 40Kbps so you conulxxx could only get it
via ISDN. the way realaudio works is by broadcasting a signal to anyone that
gets connected to it (you anxxx can't make a two-point-connection, like a phone)
in this way it works more like a radio station (and that's why this is some-
times known as 'webcast').
i don't really know if anyone but rainer knew the adress of the realaudio
live streaming file, since this last days were (as i said before) total
tech mayhem. sorry for this.
>Gernot's use of the Sun and Shadows
mmh... he's been the director, i think...
>the MOO ... was not as central as intended
we had oo er moo all over the paxxx place!
ou could see it on the four 'virtual actors' (which were monitors with
MOO text on them), ad xxx and on ten video monitors, surrounding the place
were most audience was (that's... the bar ;> )
so, i'd say it was not central but all around us!
well... now for my comments on the performance:
i think it was very iportant for us to have this. we finally did something
REAL, and it worked. this got us together (RL and virtually) for andxxx
a performance that was very interesting to see (all the people with which i
spoke after it were interested), and a real starting pontxxx point...
a place / event / time that will let us uxx jump from the theoretical talk
(or 'intellectual masturbaion', as someone called it) and go to the
real thing.
one of the best thing i found is that we have a _great_ team, and that together
we con accomplish lots of things if we just get together and make the (big)
effort.
i want to thank specially Aaron for his job. he got into the project only
15 days before day D, and worked more than any on xxx of us in terms of
time and commitment, solving unsolvable situations and always having very
good ideas aout xxx about the things we caxxx could do with the (sometimes
scarce) resources we had.
from Liny er... Linz, happ & tires xxx tired but still going on,
Santi.
