for every connection from the moving forest a new arrow strikes the castle for every input from the Maxwell city / scrying board a new blood spot appears that Lady Macbeth can't wash off
Processing & extra screens at the central location, to animate arrows when someone connects by phone, show blood stains when scrying board data comes in
the 2 processing apps poll the server to pick up the number of calls / connections / scrying signals that come in & generate arrows & blood accordingly

in “overthrow” can click mouse to generate rain of arrows http://www.dement.org/moving_forest/rainArrows/rainArrows02.html

project looks very ambitious and ambiguous and threatening in just the right way. may just start the revolution.

looking at the structure again, what i would propose to do is to write a textual resource for the project. This will be called 500 slogans for moving forest. The slogans will be words, phrases, paragraphs, epigrams, shouts, signals, threats and groans which can be called up and messed with by different phases of the project. they will be relentlessly polyvocal.
It will consist of pieces nicked from the castle, mayrink's walpurgisnacht, manuals of various sorts, other versions of hamlet, theories of war / insurgency and will focus on the aesthetics / technics of insurgency & communication.

here are the slogans so far. as you will see a lot of them work with ideas of growth and logical generation of growth inside grammar whilst working on rhetorical figures of multiplicity. sources of plagiarism include Deuteronomy, wu tang clan and various green tree info things. I'm interested in finding ways of expressing logical antinomies in natural language, that cut into the series here, without loosing the function of an engagement with kinds of statement that can be heard and understood without necessarily engaging with them at that level

you could eat away at the frames of the film. openGL - I'm learning to use it for large image manipulation. I was thinking you could combine the the last twelve mins of the film into a large rectanglular block and chip away at it - so basically you would sculpt time.

basically, it was just a spontaneous idea which could be turned into EM practice. the nintendoDS has a cute soundprocessor, so we could play tunes depending on the electromagnetic signal strength. so, if participants move around the castle, they could act within the “EM theremin”. but! two question which should be considered: the nintendoDS can only detect name and signal strength of WIFI networks (open/closed ones). i am afraid that there will be no wifi-network, afaik the em waves will be transmitted just by the scrying boards, is that right? plus, the nintendo is not capable of running PD, but you can write your own software (there are some homebrews already around, nitrotracker, etc..). how does the sound comes out? the nintendo has a line out, but if participants are moving, how should they connect to an amplifier? would be nice if we could transmit the audio signal wireless back again :) (via radio frequency) nintendoDS.jpg
At the moment, I've been making these guns… http://www.informationalism.net/weapons/

“I've been reworking the original boards for sound and wifi I'm thinking about embedding radios along with the new board on the new guns.”

yes, Moving Forest Opera , thinking, inside castle 24 channel manipulation through live outside data feeds transforming/triggering/processing precomposed melody, symphony, swathes of chaotic hard noise cascading to waterfalls of pink light broken to shards pointed to silence - wet - stop - nothing - vibration hovers. Voices (opera and non) important too.

Inside music being made/ performed/ playing, is at times , in chapters, altered in different ways by received bursts/moments/sustained periods of live data invasion from the street action.
These different ways could be 1. completely mysteriously (ie, music content changed but no-one knows how /why- ie..randomized..) 2. completely clearly/literally, eg a melody slowed right down like a record slowing down, a beat reversed, a language live translated.. 3. Music turned off/on in BEATS.pulses ( i Love this one) 4. the 8 channel mix processed by placement of density of activity outside.

So please I am prepared to every adventure! Looking forward!
PS: Throne of Blood is one of my favourites!
ideas and such.. happy to be part of this future blast - for overthrow part sound could be a massive storm of infraredbasses and layered frequencies, full of real time triggered vocals of mine (possibly other vocalists as i heard some could be there too) + datas/sound feed triggered reimplementation, potential decrescendo opera/tive negentropic irationalismus (or negative entropy..// cf.Schrödinger) using wireless sensor(s), to bow wow the speakers combining (a)synchronous connexions with Linda's generative arrows .. waterfall and rains of datas, xtrem composting flowerish tank.. ah well, maybe like a poem swallowing itself
