(me)dia
My classmates and I have a showing next week which we've turned into a whole piece of its own (partly out of requirements, but mainly out of whatever it is that keeps us making dance pieces...).
We've scripted and shot conversations and talking points about our work (as well as blank stares and nods of agreement) to be played on individual TV's between pieces.
Each of us is our own mediatized talking head...i guess we can now say we've done "remote choreography", as the cues for switching televisions are probably the most complicated thing.
The pieces are excerpts or variations on our final projects which use EyeCon and Isadora, mainly. Equipment list for the show is rather amusing: 4 TVs, 4 DVD players, 4 cameras, 3 Macs, 2 PCs, 3 projectors, 5 screens, 1 monitor, soundsystem, lighting board...not to mention all appropriate cables, and lengths of...(there are only 4 "pieces" and 5 performers...)
The postcard was deisgned by Kate. Great, eh?

very nice - like the play on words - esp. when you consider that "dia" is short for "diapositif" in french.... slides... the precursors to the misery that is powerpoint!
Actually, when I saw "dia", I though of "day", in spanish.
