mouseONmars had a fantastic idea on their website
before ,i.m not sure if its still there or not ,about
their plan to build a club where the walls and floors
and ceiling could pulse to the music ,respond to the
beat like some video plugins can do these days
,changing colors and textures(? that would be insane
,if as the beat altered the floor morphed from
concrete to wood?!?) and even temperature. definitely
a long way off ,but a great concept. would be a hit as
a club ,i.ll wager.
