Oh yes, it is entertainment I am talking about.  The word "performance" in Berlin tends to mean avant-garde performance.  Entertainment funnily enough is a no-no word when applying to performance funding.  And your response got me exciting, all the compounding factors you listed when wiring up big groups are in themselves a bunch of little performance projects in themselves....

But this idea is obviously going to have to be scaled down.  I am talking about maybe having 7 thousand euros at my disposal and I would have to pay actors, sets, costumes, salary.... Maybe I concentrate on private performances, done for one person at a time for like 10 or 15 minutes a person.

thanks for the links.  i will check those out and see if i get any inspiration. 

cheers!

...this had better work...  :  )
Yep it works. You should get the Biological Physicist newsletter (no really it does exist  :  )

Hi dude,
'Interactive art' has a great deal of exploration potential. Beau Lotto:

has done some work with light (your audience guesses how much time has passed under different kinds of light -they will reliably overestimate or underestimate how long one minute is, depending on the light frequency.) There's a selection of approaches here:

The cisco demo is similar to the example I had in mind.

I don't see any problem telling each other where we live; I mean I wouldn't recommend we put our actual addresses out there, but location is a factor in NH so worth mentioning if relevant. It's a real bugger trying to get enough vitamin D from sunlight where I currently live, for example.
Of course, if anyone here is an ex-hitman, international smuggler or works for the CIA, they might want to keep their location a secret. So we all gotta choose for ourselves.
Best,
AR
