and rehearsal/fine-tuning time = approx 4 to 6 hours)
space
A square or slightly rectangular space of at least 12 m2 with the possibility
of installing a small camera and a diffused light source directly above
at a height of 4 to 5 meters.
The space could be closed (a room) or open (part of a larger space), and
could possibly adapt itself to other kinds of spaces not yet foreseen,
as long as the space is fairly quiet and well-lit, and that the camera
can be placed high enough to make an appropriate interactive space.
computer
1 computer G4 1.5 gHz minimum or a G5
1 soundcard with 5 outputs (4+1sub)
1 camera of type « firewire webcam »
(preferably a UniBrain, http://www.unibrain.com/home/ )
2 good quality 10m firewire cables with 1 firewire repeater.
(one 20m cable might work, but it would have to be verified)
camera mount for the webcam 4 to 5 meters above the installation space,
facing directly down.
(The UniBrain contains a standard camera mount which simply requires a
reducer to connect to a standard tripod head)
PA
4 discrete speakers mounted on speaker stands or else on the walls in
the four corners of the space, plus a sub-woofer. Amplification at least
250W.
lights
A diffused lighting source, as close to the camera as possible to minimize
shadows.
misc
220v supply and multistrip
1 space in proximity to the installation for the computer and amplifiers.
