Hi all, having just been reading a number of the drafts and various feedbacks, including feedback to my own musings, I have to ask a fundamental question:
as to exactly what we are trying to acheive or communicate to the audience about the world? my question is at the level of trying to determine whether the construction and definition of this future world is more important than the internal wonderings and sufferings of these disembodied voices who don't necessarily relate facts about the world they are disembodied from when they finally have an opportunity to communicate...what if they are not even aware that they are transmitting but what the audience sees is the random transmission of a frequency? If they are aware of being able to channel through this body and do it willfully, then what is to say that what they choose to communicate has nothing directly political to say, or information about their reasons for capture and punishment? Egos are funny things, some might think their philosophising whilst in that state more interesting than a case history, some might be eternally attached to the fantasy of a memory or the pining for something they once had, or even what it was like in the past in their imaginations - that the world was truely wonderful in 2006 compared with life in 2040. In terms of what this world might 'look' like, as it takes place in a relatively imaginary space our minds are liberated to whatever we might think this environment looks like - check out any Kubrick film for example - plenty of characters where 'reality' is a moving slide show, somewhere between actuality and fantasy. Olivia a I are meeting again in the near future and I think this will be the main topic of conversation, which would be great to have as many of your thoughts contributed/responses before we chat in coming days. I think it would then be appropriate for us to communicate some sorts of definates or aesthetic thereafter. Hope I'm not out of line in saying any of this. Keep up the good work, reading your drafts thus far has been facinating.
a question of confusion
