say that you have a multimedia installation that's doing something connected with time. You've got ChucK running and it may sit there running for a week. Every day it's supposed to do something at noon that is synchronized to other parts of the piece. So you compute a duration until noon tomorrow and chuck that to now. But then it doesn't work.
What if a part of your installation was a sundial, whose shadow is being watched by a webcam? I'm not kidding, I've been thinking on these same lines the past few days. Also, please see the following two links, even though they may look completely off-topic right now: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/20/0356214 http://swaratala.blogspot.com/2007/04/time-and-season-in-raga-performance.ht... cheers, -- ------- -.- 1/f ))) --. ------- ... http://www.algomantra.com
