Beatrice Gordon created these multimedia shows
using Scala InfoChannel Designer. The Scala player
is not widely available so the shows were translated
to Silverlight by Kent Gordon.
To see this art you need the Microsoft Silverlight browser plugin. If the following box does not say "you have Silverlight installed" then click in the box to go to the Silverlight download page. For the Mac the plugin requires MacOS X 10.4.8 or higher.
The two principal barriers to seeing the shows as intended
are flicker during fades and background clutter. To eliminate
flicker during fades the images need to be refreshed at
30 frames per second. As the images become larger the
computer can not always manage 30 frames per second.
The best choice for eliminating background clutter is to
have the images fill the entire monitor. The second best
choice is to have nothing but a black background surrounding
the images.
The shows can play within the browser window, full screen but with the image the same size as in the browser window, and full screen with full screen images. If flicker is a problem then reduce the size of the browser window, and therefore the image size, until there is no filcker. Use Esc to stop a show. |
