Neurosis [taps head] I'm as sick of these avatars as you are. This one has 37 actions which pile on each other like an avalanche. This one has a roving veering camera. This one has that one. I need to work on other models. This one has new skin. I need to take it elsewhere. This one's lost its objects. This one goes round and round. I spoke to Foofwa. He needs live audience for dance/performance work. I need live audience but I need equipment. I sit here in this damn hot NYC space and can't think of a thing to do. There's great mocap stuff at Columbia in Chicago. I'd love to use it. [taps head] Anyone have contacts/context? I saw it. I think there were twelve cameras. I saw the connections. I could rewire. I could make something fabulous. I could make something new. Something unbelievable. I could expand the vocabulary of the human body, abjection, interiority, performance. You're sick of hearing me complain. I could expand the vocabulary of sickness. I could expand the vocabulary of complaint. It's all in here [taps head]. There's nothing without equipment. Without support. Without a life-net. We're all waiting to hear our future. There's a great cave at Brown. Give me access to that cave and support me. I'll produce like you won't believe. In the meantime I sit here in 85 degree computer slowup weather and write stuff like this and make stuff like this: http://www.asondheim.org/neurosis.mp4 Give me that mathematician and show me the anatomy of this: http://www.asondheim.org/calc.mov It's in here.
