The Show.

Overall, I did not find that the show met my original expectations. I suppose that can be attributed to the professors seemingly grandiose plans for it during every class. But the projections were pretty lame honestly. It looked just like in class when you set up the laptop to the projector and you see all the programs on the big projector. I feel like it would have looked much better if they had found a way to zoom in on just the work being displayed so you didn't see the rest of the screen. Also, it could have been my seat, but I found it difficult to even make out what most of the stuff on the screen was. There was too much light hitting the screen and everything appeared sort of dull. The work shown also had nothing to do with what was going on. I understand that this was an awesome way to get our work displayed to a large audience in Manhattan, but it didn't make any sense. Why are we seeing sketchups of people's dream apartments during a performance of Hamlet? The whole concept just seemed so much better than what it was. I didn't get to take part in the manipulation of what was going on onscreen, but that as well just seems a little confusing to me. I get it, the next step for the audience is to become interactive with the media in the performance, but when does it become too much? If everyone is focused on when it's their turn to change the music or change the images, who is going to pay attention to the show itself?
