pong.mythos: Day 1
Actually, it’s not day one. Some people have been working here for a week now, but it’s my first day in Stuttgart.
I’ll try to assemble my first video podcast from here tonight, but of course we’re sort of in a hurry to get everything up and running for the opening on friday afternoon. I help all the artists setting up their pieces while putting together the DVDs that will run in loops on several monitors. Converting different video formats to go together is not so easy after all and I needed several programs to make it all work. Strangely, taking parts of standard DVDs to assemble another DVD isn’t easy as all, as you have to rip and demux and later mux (multiplex) the audio and video and so on. It just isn’t drag and drop like with audio CDs.
Have a look at some pictures on flickr (I tagged them all with “pong.mythos”). A list of all artists and their artwork is here.
