Just back from Paris: the installation was well worth the travel!

It consisted of an Iris Elan R4000, a Fake Space Labs' BOOM2C, a 486 with
two Beachtron boards that provided localized sound.
The art piece, called Menagerie, was a black field in which opened various 
kinds of "door", appearing and enlarging from the void. Out of those doors
(cirles and arches) came off animals, 4-legged, 2-legged, flock of birds; 
they were very simple, intentionally, just few lines each, very elegant, 
with a WONDERFUL life-like way of moving. Their movements were accompained
by a very good eerie soundtrack, but not always very "localized".

Michael Giraud and Susam Amkraut did the visual side, while Mark Trayle
made the music. The supervisor of the project was Scott Fisher.
A very good work!
BTW Michael and Susan, from Unreal Pictures, are the same folks who did
Eurythmy (sp?) some time ago.

On the technical side it was the first time I tried a BOOM, and 1000 lines
really make some difference! There were moments in which I really felt
inside, like I never felt before.

In the same time, at the Centre Pompidou, there was a small room with a
laserdisc with all the works Scott Fisher did from 1980 at MIT until now.
Seeing it all together really gives an idea of the HUGE amount of work he
did.
