i saw oval's lecture at the cultural center here in chicago last friday
and then caught his set at the empty bottle on saturday. i thought it
both were excellent. from a software design standpoint, his ovalprocess
software (running in the skotodesk installation) is an excellent piece of
object oriented design even if his lofty goals of software-kiosk as high
art are more than a bit quixotic.
he did a question and answer session after the lecture and i got the
impression that he is not a very warm and outgoing person. this has
absolutely nothing at all to do with his artistic merit. some people
don't like to talk to gushing fanboys after they finish their set at 2AM
-- which actually feels like 7AM to Germans abroad in the USA, I might
add... you try staying up 8 hours past your bedtime doing shows every
night and see how chipper and talkative you're feeling after a day or two.
later
