Project
Description: These were a series of shows that aired
on Manhattan Cable Television using touch-tones to direct the video.� The first, the �Healing Hand,� asked people
to hold hands via the television.� People
could call in and have their voice passed on air to give testimony.�
The second, �Marianne Rubberhead� was another healing experiment, but
viewers also had an opportunity to rotate the orb and find out more about the
oracle.� Both of these were done in collaboration with Marianne Petit.�
�Interactive Television Tutorial� walked viewer through the steps necessary
to turn off their television set.� Viewers
could use their touch-tones to pace the lessons.
Technical
Notes: The programming was done in Cando on an Amigo.� A Video Toaster was used for the video switching
and effects.� The 3D graphics were pre-rendered
in Swivel 3D.�� The video was pressed
on to a laserdisc and controlled by the Amigo.� A box that I built decoded the touch-tones.
