\nBLACK SPACE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“In 3 parts. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Islands of sensation: audience seated in total darkness and requested not to fill it with their knowledge of others sharing the space and even of their own bodies but asked to locate the area of pressure against their chair (immediately forgetting the word\u00a0\u201cchair”, as clear as they can and then best as they can hold it in mind as they\u00a0relate it in space to other sensations, to\u00a0pressure against the soles of their feet from contact with the floor and to the location of my guiding\u00a0voice and to any sound from others seated (what others?) or to anything felt within their bodies (which don\u2019t exist except as more black space within an infinity of black space), all islands of sensation contributing to a constellation of sensation. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

2) Surround-sound:\u00a0as with real estate,\u00a0location is everything, still in black space where a little bell can go a long way. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Let there be light: strobe flashes interrupt the darkness with\u00a0stereo-appearances ever so slowly dying away on our retinas.”<\/span><\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS FOR \u201cTEXTILES THROUGH THE AGES\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“The filmstrip should be screened on an Eiki SSL-0 projector with its film shoe and bracket assembly removed. As a result of this modification, the film strip is disengaged from the claw leaver assembly and pulled in front of the aperture by the continuous motion of the drive gear. The lens is focused on the filmstrip before the performance. Sprocket holes and sound track should appear relatively well defined given the slack fit of film in the film gate. Sound from the optical track is given conventional treatment.” – Bruce McClure<\/span><\/p>\n
