The video projector connects to our vcr/dvd machine.It also has hookups
for computers. It also has external audio outputs. I'm running it
through a large boombox as an amp, which sends the audio, with full
dynamic range, through a pair of stereo speakers behind the projection
screen.

Depending on who arranged the midi files, they can sound incredibly
vivid. And the digital/ synthy sound of midis CAN compliment the art.
It's a virtual reality; it doesn't have to sound like an acoustic
orchestra. One webber, jsteinmetz, actually managed to COMPOSE midis
using only her webtv!! amazing!

Here's an example of a midi that's FABULOUS with Tom's "magic" art:

On our stereo, it's magnificent.

Here's another plus to this projector: I can record video onto either
vhs tape or midi dv (through my very cheap, digital movie camera).
Then,
through the computer port, I can BURN AUDIOSCOPES to CD in a format by
which they can be seen by computers! Once the images are recorded, they
CAN be uploaded on the net, via computer, in a language computers can
SEE!

I'm thinking the mathematics, requisite precision and patience involved
in code art may be beyond some people's abilities or time limitations.
Hence, this interest in image manipulation: it gets done faster and
it's
pretty. I guess.

If I were to do image art, I'd manipulate my own creations. Either I'd
take jpegs and post em online, or I'd use a computer software program,
create art from scratch and then manipulate it at IM.

I'm much more interested in taking raw code and creating something
completely virtual. Even though it's really hard, tedious work that's
prone to BAD mistakes.

The exhibit would involve video projections of code art pages, direct
off the net or videotaped for replay.

I have a video projector. We bought it, used, on eBay, for apx $250.oo.
We're watching "Finding Nemo" on it right now on a 3.5 x 5 -foot
screen.
The image could be even larger, if the projector were farther from the
screen.

You should see table and scope art on a screen that big! It's fabulous.

If it were an interactive exhibit, people could mouseover, click on
different pages, etc. It could be fabulous, I think.

It's modern, digital art. It deserves preservation and exhibition.
