   And Thomas Dolby was watching next to me…

   It’s poetry in motion
   And now she’s making love to me
   The spheres are in commotion
   The elements in harmony

   And then she leapt overhead, into the cosmos…

   The conundrum is, if the blue plasma effect is a rear screen, how come it’s occluding her hand? Is she also a projection? If so, she’s insanely high resolution.

   Hey, when you’ve seen one Brünnhilde too many nothing does it like raggedy pumped up blue orb space gals flying around with techno synth trance rhythms.

    jgury – I’m glad you found that! It is poetry in motion, much better than any still can capture. The first two minutes are the same as what we saw, and then it morphed into a dance of three.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/philatkin] – it’s the question that drives us. There is a screen, but it’s the source of the noise in the Matrix…

    some more moments I captured:

    OK, watching the video makes it clearer – she’s dancing behind a gauze. Nice. Parallax and translucency is a killer aesthetic combination. My wife used to do installation art based on these principles, and (on a much more plebby plane) I used to shoot the bazooka in Quake III and slide left and right just to watch the parallax of the smoke play out.

    I like more retro low tech in Brazil. You give the dancer some of this magic Quilombo gauze, have some aromatic jungle herbs smoking on the fire and start up the drums. Lasers or any electricity are not needed and tend to upset the local spirits that rise with the rhythms. Bad experiences with white technology, that kind of thing.
