<nettime> Announce: feature-length hypervideo on the Web

[David Blair <waxweb@telepathic-movie.org>]

Nettime moderator's announcement: sorry for the announcements, as soon as
we have a workable replacement for fokky's Announcer and Weekender in
place, announcements will be relegated back to those mechanisms. Until
then, we'll be sending any directly relevant announcements directly to the
list. SM.

WAXWEB
By David Blair

http://www.waxweb.org	(1993-1999, final version)

hypermedia version of the theatrically-distributed electronic feature 
"WAX or the discovery among the bees" (1991, 85:00). 

Available on the Web, in English, French, or Japanese versions. 
 or CD's in each language also available from the author.

----------------------------------------------------

Play the movie from beginning to end.
An 85 minute theatrical feature.         

Or click the "hypervideo" at any time.
The movie has 1200 shots.
Every shot is recomposed inside 25 unique pages/spaces. 

	Pictures:
	Meaningful and endless resemblence; 
	start of a mechanical dream.

	Words: 
	Hypertexts for each shot, 
	sideways to time, and talking.

	3d: 
	Silent movies around each shot.
	The void of the dream.


Stutter through the dream. 
Then cut back to the movie. 

As you go,
the movie moves 
into endless time.

Expanding to become 
a grotesque 
and miniature world.
