terpsichoreographic unit (t.u.) there are two types of t.u.s - one possessing the pylon of the sleeper, the other a black featureless sphere. a dancer/performer sits on either and an animation takes over until s/he rises. there are five animations for each t.u. chosen at random. spherical shells of particles embed the performer. the black featureless sphere is a black hole with an inverted event horizon. the particles may trap the display driver into crashing. the display driver enters overload and the interface enters crash mode. the pylon sleeper t.u. is a dream production machine trapping the dancer into useless dream production particle phenomena. the particles may trap the display driver into crashing. the display driver enters overload and the interface enters crash mode. a t.u. DANCE consists of 4-5 t.u.s in an environment with performers on each. performers may stand and move to other t.u.s. the t.u. INSTALLATION may be placed anywhere at a moment's notice. variables include animations, particle textures and stream intensities. of course one may dance in the vicinity of particle streams which continue for at least thirty seconds after the performer stands. one may also assign physicality to the pylon or black featureless sphere, in which case the object may be GRABBED during particle emission and moved; this creates temporary particle FLORA within the performance space. videos below give some indication (between computer crashes) of the mechanism; stills give a few closeups. http://www.alansondheim.org/wrrr.mov http://www.alansondheim.org/wrrr2.mov http://www.alansondheim.org/ wrrr pngs thanks to Eifachfilm Vacirca for script and script modification. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
