temp0rary is going from strength to strength. The two gigs over Christmas saw me getting much needed practice with this whole performing thing and the last one I actually felt reasonably comfortable with (and looked spectacular IMO - must put more pictures up).
Stoya wrote a while back about something an old teacher of hers had said (I'm paraphrasing) "If you don’t come off stage thinking of at least five things that you'll will do better next time, you might as well quit." I'm learning that that's fantastic advice and quite encouraging. The first gig I did with temp0rary I was incandescent with my perceived failings - which I later realised probably weren't apparent to the audience but still needed fixing. I'm learning to take mental notes and fix them at the next available opportunity. Still annoying at the time though.
Recent development weekend in Cunabula Studios saw me and lee_chaos getting to grips with adding Kinect-based processing sketches into the mix and refilming other elements through glass and colanders. Opening up a range of different directions to take the project further and writing proposals is the order of the moment.
Now I'm relearning processing so I can adjust what we have and see where I can push it.
Always exciting times. Needs to be as 'work' is currently sub-optimal and will continue to be so for the foreseeable. Of which I may speak in a less public post.
