Was just thinking more about this. First, the easiest way to get an interesting flicker movie - aim a video camera at a TV w/ negative image on - it loops b&w sometimes colors.
More to the point for pared-down, the 'Ganzfeld' pieces - I think from the 60s or 70s at the latest - were far more minimal; you pressed your face against a soft translucent inflated material (i.e. no focussing, no image at all), and the flickering literally effected (and affected) the entire visual field. The online piece still has a minimal quicktime border. Which leads me to the TECH QUESTION - Does anyone know how to present a quicktime movie without the border at all - i.e. just the moving image on-screen? I'd like to move towards this with my performance. I'm not referring to the 'full screen' mode of presentation, but an image which occupies only a part of the screen - without a frame or with a very minimal frame. Any suggestions/help more than greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alan
