Tom ~ after days of not realizing that my webmail account expired - fixing my energy on 'what the heck is wrong with my computer' - i am finally paid up, renewed, and able to post again!
this week i went to the new testsite opening and realized for the first time that the testsite installation stays up and running until the next install. that's cool in so far as otherwise it would feel like a short run for a lot of work, but it also adds a wicked burnout to my production plans. a screeching hault. resulting in the need to come up with an altogether different plan. the lounge thing can still work, but not the animation.
the writing and art collaboration was taken to new and exciting depths. the artists organized a town in the space and the writer wrote the town charter and a list of violations against the town officers (mayor, etc.). audience could write up and submit a complaint. it was pretty cool. maybe there will be pics up soon on the website.
i am going to have to gather new ideas this week. and i'd like to consider pushing the collaboration a bit more. let me do some brainstorming. i'm also meeting with Laurence and Liz this week.
Hi, welcome back. Joe was posting as you elsewhere on the Tree until we got the cookie changed. Why does the added time of the testsite project affect your doing an animation? It's still the same opening deadline, right? Not saying you should or shouldn't do an animation, or that we shouldn't collaborate more--just curious about the timing.
to produce an animation with cut paper requires a few weeks of production time after the initial shoot. i would rather not have another testsite installation become part of the content of my animation. so there will not be enough of a window of time between their deinstall and my shoot. (the current installation covers the furniture, fireplace, and shelves.)
Oh, got you. Yeah, I looked for pictures of their show but I don't think anything's up yet. I can't picture any visual component from their description--it sounds almost purely sociological.
