To the left, looking at a log from the outside. It is like a thesis log. To the right, imagining what it might look like from the inside.
From the inside, what does a log see? To get at it, sometimes art must be experimental, questing, chaotic, risky, uncontrolled, venturing into the unknown or the hypothetical. The result is uncertain, a hypothesis perhaps at best. It is the antithesis of the outside.
Since this is a personal, imaginative journey, it requires not only active participation but creating your own unique art experiences. I find mine, but these aren't programmed in. Interactivity exaggerates your varying responses on different days. Less control means greater freedom and open-ended possibility inherent in the setup. It makes user satisfaction of a very active kind. Pick from these choices:
For background on the log, see the Bristlecone Medicine Wheel (Station 11).
- QuickTime VR (QTVR) movie.
- QuickTime VR (QTVR) movie with undefined blending. Tricky, this will only work until Apple QuickTime engineering defines this setting. Until then, colors vary unexpectedly. Rather like emotions. The movie with this particular kind of accidental coloring will vary a lot depending on if you open it in the player or a web browser and on your hardware setup.
- Java applet version (no color blending). No plug-in required.
- Images from the blended movie. These stills probably will differ from your movie.
