Cybernetic Supermarket

I would like to put this on as a live show- with Rich and I acting the parts...

Synopsis:

Kath goes to the supermarket. However, when she gets there she is so overcome by the choice of apples that she suffers from an existential breakdown. 

Through this crises she has a transcendental experience and finds herself in a meditation workshop called 'The Lake of Healing'.

She meets Bodhisattva Rick Clarke and he takes her on a spiritual journey. The attraction between them is sudden and undeniable. Through the power of cybernetic love and astral awakening, the two are transformed into the fantasies of two 12 year old boys from the 1980's North Norfolk coast. 

They play out the boys' dreams of holiday EuroDisco. Through playing out this shared musical aspiration, the supermarket over-choice conflict is resolved and a deep spiritual healing is achieved. 

Weekend Activity

At the weekend I saw some Art from Joey Holder and some other artists. There were lots of projections of animals and organic processes...

Twin Freaks

Tonight my friend Emma is having a Twin Peaks themed Halloween party. So I am going to provide some freaky aud/vis experience. I would really like to use a kind of interactive Isadora scenario- whereby people can see themselves or interact with the visual... but I don't have a laptop so I'll have to see if my friends' machine can deal with Isadora or not.

If not, I have pre-recorded some scenes which maybe nice! Another option might be to use Resolume- maybe other people could have a go messing around with it too...

The problem here is mixing the sound- maybe I can also use Virtual dj to synch it automatically...

Wolfman by Tim Hope

In this cartoon, there is a very funny monologue of the main protagonist talking about how he has fallen in love with the moon.

I think it might be a good idea to use a similar monologue to show Kath falling in love with Rick in the Cybernetic Supermarket. This might help the story become less disjointed. It could also help the transition into the bird and fish.

It could go something like this...

"As I listened to his soothing voice I felt I had transgressed all the parameters of my body. I felt expansive, like a huge Ocean. I was aware of all my senses and mesmerised by all the incredible beauty around me... It seemed that he had lifted off the top of my head, like I was a boiled egg. And my yolk burst forth in a bright light reaching towards the heavens.
