This actionscript references two movie clips; obj and point and two input text boxes with the var set to xin and yin
Actionscript on frame 1:
//lines greyed out with two slashes in front of them are comments]]>
//they do not effect the code, they are for people to read
//this function takes effect once the movie is loaded
//this is a good way to set initial parameters
_root.onLoad=function()

//hides the system cursor

Research Paper:
Thesis: The Nintendo Wii as a tool for making interactive media/art. Topics explored will include; the blurring of simulation of actions and the actions themselves, videogames as art, wiimote hacking for use as an input device.

I have been listening to the recordings I have collected so far and I am amazed at how beautifully musical some of them are, I am definitely going to take these samples into garageband or some other sample based composition program and see what kind of music it can make.
people perceive>remember>reproduce perceive>remember>reproduce these sounds which are so removed from our natural range of sound reproduction. I want to record interviews with various people recreating the handshake. Relating to semantics, again I am interested in the call/response relationship of the sounds, but not in terms of machines. I would be very interested in having two people performing the handshake together trying to recreate the call/response system of the host/client. I am unsure about whether I want to keep the piece strictly audio or have video elements (showing the participants faces, people shaking hands) and whether I should keep it just]]>
An audio/video piece about memory, nostalgia and modem handshakes.
I**I would like YOU ****YOU to record two vocal imitations of the sounds made by dialup modems during the 'handshake' between the users computer and the ISP's server. The The first recording should be done cold, from memory, while the second will be made with the you listening to the recording and mimicing what you hear. I only need the two different versions from each person, but if you do different takes please send all of them, the more the better! Lo-Fi is okay, using your computer's built-in mic is fine!
This project is about your subjective perception and memory; there is no right or wrong way to do it.
Play this recording on headphones while making your 'listening' recording:
Download Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ a good, free audio editor, or use an audio program of your choice.
Record yourself, save the files as WAVs mp3s or AIFFs ]]>
The speaker is fairly easy to get hooked up to an external line in. The main challenges will be amplification and trying to get the LEDs which are integrated onto the board to light up. My dream is to feed all the audio through the RJ45, but that may take experimentation beyond the time remaining, so my goal now is to focus on getting a clean looking audio line in and hopefully getting an amplification circuit (either battery powered or powered from the 9v AC adaptor for the modem)
4/30/08 - Rosey - During your crit I pictured the modems installed ina tall plexi-glasstower that opened in different directions, so each modem would bein its own room speaking into space, with all the wires showing.I think the viewer would feel like a giant next to a really strange-talkin ]]>

Now I'm looking for the video camera power cord that plugs in the charger. my metal 3-stair step ladder. Please! I need to charge batteries.
Does love this thing. Does anybody have it? (Rick do you have two?) Please return to the Glove. Thanks, know where it is? Colleen

i think that in a year from now i will want to make a movie for my final project cus i haven't done that yet. new media to me. what kind of film will i make in the year two thousand and eight? we will see.

i might like to focus on one offour technologies for my research paper: mirrors, pumps, solar power,or touch.i have an idea for a piece i'd like to do withwater pumpsand resistance sensors, so my researchwould be self serving there.whenwe went over the assignment in class my initial response was to focus on the mirror as a tecnological advance---psychologically the mirror has had an incredible impact on mankind---but the mirror doesn't require any wires or mechanics (besides incredible chemicals) so i'm not sure if it fits the assignment very well. lastly, itcould be interesting to focus onbouncing between art and science when itcomes to solar power, or other equipment for producing energy----like endless kinetic aparati. i've got some paring down to do. also, i'll be going through the links you provided, colleen, because i feel like i need to research a little to get to a more interesting topic, my topic ideasso far seem a little ... i don't know... generic... i guess.

Meanwhile, for reference, you should see La Jétte by Chris Marker. Very important French experimental film that is related in theme to yours. It's not long - 30 minutes or so. SEE IT, it's very good. It's groundbreaking for its use of still shots instead of moving image. Also the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes to mind.

Name your files "Name-Memory" and "Name-Listen"
haveHere are some of the recordings made by others, please record your own before listening so that your recollection is not colored by what you hear others doing.
If you have trouble loading or using the flash player, or if you would like to see all of the recordings that have been made you can view the mp3 files directly at:

I have decided to us sampled video from movies and TV rather than shooting my own scenes. Hopefully this will increase the production value of what I am making. I am thinking of trying to focus on movies/shows from the same early internet time period for maximum nostalgia.
