These people have a plan :
Holy shit. Take a look at some of the pictures. That's what inspires me as art.
Nivan shared this with me on facebook (on the behalf of Adam Blanchard). I really wish he would share it on this blog, and write a little about that, but I don't know if that is ever gonna happen.
(I really don't like that the "web" is described as "the work of horrifyingly large arachnids." It made it less beautiful to me.)
I think at the center of what amazes me about this piece is that "'The installation is based on an idea for a dance performance in which the form evolves from the movement of the dancers between the pillars,' explains For Use’s Christoph Katzler. 'The dancers are stretching the tape while they move, so the resulting shape is a recording of the choreography.'” Sure, you could trace that pattern on the floor with paint, but they thought about it three dimensionally, using an unusual medium with which we usually have an very different way of contact.
Say that last part three times fast.
As I start into what is basically a two week tech process, I find that what I love about the video is how smoothly that technical process went. Of course, I'm sure there were points where certain people would stop and question something, but they had it planned out. What is so cool about our production of dead city is that so much of that really time consuming tech bullshit we can work through in a rehearsal room. I'll talk more about that at our little design meeting. But basically, this is gonna be good.
Sleep now.
