ideas from FELA

1. film projected onto a still
2. moving on the image - stills w/ moving images on them
[hmmm. not quite sure what i meant by this]
3. fragments of print - huge letters moving across the screen
4. there was a brief triptych - a three screen, i don't know of what.

oh yes, i remember this - the main character Fela asks the audience, who here has been to jail? My hand shot up -- and then i looked around and realized i was the only one with a hand up! in that entire, white, broadway audience. i guess people who can pay a hundred dollars a ticket don't tend to get to jail.

5. music that works with what the boxes are actually doing (well, i knew this)
6. having different screens automatically makes it the same but different - of his face, and i think i mean projected onto different surfaces, and in different places onstage as well.

7. Three moments on a face. (the same face, obviously)

8. a long frame: with on third or fifth, the rest kept long. i can't really draw it here.

9. projecting on the brick, giving that texture, and also i believe they projected on paint, which i also like a lot, a la gerhard richter.

saw this in FELA, on broadway. Peter Nigrini and andrew, joan's andrew, did the video.
