MobiusTrip
In April of 1997 I wrote and produced an online theatre piece called MobiusTrip. It was comprised of audience in the physical space at Virginia Tech's Theatre Arts University Theatre black box and an online audience all over the globe. This piece, at the time, was groundbreaking because it made use of multicasting in and out in ways that really no one was engaged.
It was a pretty exciting time.
I have begun digitally archiving the show and decided while I was at it I would post it on Revver 3-5 minutes at a time.
The first eight minutes or so of the show is up and available. It didn't translate terribly well from the video tape capture and you don't really get a sense of what the audience saw on the Internet. Still, it will give you an idea of what I was up to almost a decade ago.
Please note that there is strong language and a depiction of an extremely prejudiced man in the show. DON'T watch if you find strong language offensive or don't wish to see the depiction of a very racist individual.
