The actor (Rich) was dead tired after 10 months, and the tech we would need is a lot to handle. To create the storm outside, which we did in the original production, we would need to find out if their electrical panel can handle three two-phase (240v) outlets for the 3500W strobe lights to light up the windows. The chapel we used had beautiful stain glass windows, so we would have to get creative for the Bethel since it has regular windows. The recreation of the environment is very important, and I would not want to do the piece without the storm. Once PL got pregnant, all thoughts on doing this died. David, do you have any connections out at the Museum? ;-)Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448086863016915654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-91501413263900272932008-11-01T17:00:00.000-04:002008-11-01T17:00:00.000-04:00I've known about steampunk almost as long as I've ...I've known about steampunk almost as long as I've known about cyberpunk, and I've known about that for almost ever. I find steampunk deeply, deeply irritating.

I think Father Mapple and other 19th century ghosts haunt our streets here. I also loved seeing Pierre Matter's work in the previous interview. Another artist obsessed with 19th century ghosts I'd say. He offers a great quote from Cocteau at the end: "the artist is a prison while his works are the evaders." I am somewhat devoted to my small collection of 19th c. explorer's accounts (Arctic Explorations, Dr. Kane; Travels in Arabia Deserta, C.M. Doughty; The Andes and <BR/>The Amazons, James Orton; and even Revolt in the Desert, by T.E. Lawrence). There is something poignant and enduring, if often trajic, about these accounts and I think our own times need some of that spirit of endeavor and exploration. These men (and women too) asked questions that have not necessarily been answered. I know it's all very politically incorrect, but if you can get past that, the ghosts are still there, and they still have much to say.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871967011596063089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-4811119857980294532008-10-30T22:09:00.000-04:002008-10-30T22:09:00.000-04:00my partner is into steam punk, or should i say, th...my partner is into steam punk, or should i say, they found him- he's been into making model steam engines since he went to art school in the late 80's early 90's but is starting to find out what they are all about- http://steampunkworkshop.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-39901550730380394392008-10-30T21:50:00.000-04:002008-10-30T21:50:00.000-04:00Mr. Rosato simplifies the problem…“politics is wra...Mr. Rosato simplifies the problem…<BR/><BR/>“politics is wrapped up in triumph, which is a small-lived emotion that dies right after you feel it. We need something that is sustaining, not childishly triumphant.”<BR/><BR/>Everything is wrapped up in triumph, including the Babel incident – a willful act seeking to triumph over God. Every day is a quest for triumph. The very essence of utopia is a quest for triumph. Triumphalism begets one ism after another, after another. They all have this in common – they seek to overcome human nature without regard to thousands of years of empirical evidence that human nature is a fallen nature.<BR/><BR/>I am not arguing points, only trying to suggest that there is nothing new in Mr Rosato’s feelings and observations. Most people, reflecting on the world, in however small or large a slice, will feel and observe much the same.<BR/><BR/>… but impresses with the answer.<BR/>“we should not take life so seriously”… “Life is to live, not to solve”. <BR/><BR/>Bravo!George Palhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456831650662541049noreply@blogger.com
