- Dancer As Paintbrush.
A story of computers, paint and unrequited love.
"it works on everybody else's machine but mine"
referencing the Amiga graphics package DPaintIV -
online info about Amiga emulators and DPaintIV -
"a tale of unrequited love"
- a masque (poetic language)
- a dance and re-active performance
"You've got to get over water to get over
there."
3 performers:
dancer ( Paintbrush )
actress ( Painter )
narrator ( Guide )
3 acts: - hell - purgatory - heaven
3 acts: - Pollock - Picasso - Polke?
technology:
MIDICreator - keypad/footpad interaction selects drawing
options, which are single procedures from draw to print -
at least 3 - possibly 5 - maybe 7 - [who] chooses the
change of drawing routine - - how does this connect to
the texts (sort texts). MvM - - tracks dancer movement -
this controls the drawing
JAVA and Quicktime - line+flood (Pollock) (random
squiggles), cut and paste (Picasso) (grid and rotation),
anim brush (Polke) (flower icons - colour changes ?)
How do all these things work in DPaintIV?
