BREAKDOWN [a/v interactive dance performance]
Image by visiophone
Breakdown is an interactive audiovisual dance performance presented at the Ears Eyes and Feet event in the B. Iden Payne Theater, May 2014, UT Austin Texas.
Breakdown explores a 2 dimensional simulated world in which its physical rules are constantly being changed and manipulated by an external entity. An inhabitant of this world is in constant motion to adapt to its characteristics. He interacts with the physical rules and develops a dialogue with the entity who controls the forces. Eventually the inhabitant ends up breaking the world’s rules and release himself into a new world, a new dimension.
The dancers’s movements and gestures are captured by two Kinect cameras on stage, creating an interactive dialog with the music and visuals.

007 MAKES A MAJOR DECISION …

… which he feels will give him the thread to unravel the entire case.
007 continues his surveillance of the thin man, but now he is helped my several members of the RAF Intelligence Agency. He has more time to sleep and think and continues to search for the single thread which will unravel the mystery of what this massive clandestine operation is all about.
Having just followed the thin man into a mixed neighborhood of small businesses and downscale apartments, 007 picked the locks on one vacant building, ran through the dark hallway and climbed out a window to pick up the thin man’s trail once again, following him to his destination, a small apartment on the second floor of an obscure converted office building.
Once he had the address, he texted it into his cell phone, making contact with his computer at the apartment and discovered the thin man was making a visit to one of the secretaries he had interviewed about a week ago. 007’s brain kicked into fast forward and he began to think maybe he was scratching the surface of a weak point in the enemy’s program.
After the thin man had rung a bell at the doorway to the apartment building and a light went on on the second floor, the door clicked and the thin man made entry. While trying to get a remote voice fix on the apartment, which he was unable to do, 007 thought furiously about what he knew.
He heard a voice inside his brain say, “Look for the anomaly!” 007 knew the nature of the warehouses, processing plants and brokerage firms. The data on these was monumental. Far too much information and if the unraveling thread could be found here it would already have been found.
He then considered the data gathered by M6 and the CIA on the organization the thin man worked so diligently for and knew he would not find the thread there. If the thread could be found there, it would be found by others, not himself.
He reasoned, there remain two areas in which the thread can be found to unravel the mystery and take its entire operation down. It could be in the bulk of the letters, envelopes, square CD covers and packages passed on to the thin man from those people he had called upon earlier. 007 knew the information here was forever forbidden to him once it fell into the hands of the diligent thin man, so that left only one area of search for that magic thread……the girls and women themselves.
At that moment 007 vowed to contact Control and turn the entire job of surveillance over to the RAF Intelligence Agency and begin an investigation of the bookkeepers and secretaries known to have had contact with the thin man. The anomaly would be found within the ranks of these women.
On Earth As It Is In Hell – ASCII zip comment made from ANSI login screen

I used to run a BBS called On Earth As It Is In Hell (click to view old messages and oneliners and such).
Anwyay, yesterday (1/30/2007) I was going over some recovered files from a harddrive crash I had around 1996. In looking at the zip files, I found two different automated zip comments I had created. This was one of them.
It was the ANSI login graphic from my BBS, shrunken from 80×25 to a smaller size, with the color removed.
Ahh, the old days. 1992-1994.
