I think I like these kind of projects because they take the high-tech and
bring it back down in to the lower realms again. Of course, they are also
kind of bizarre.
Maybe not the lower realms, that’s probably not the best way to put it.
Back into the hands of ordinary men again. In theory, anybody could use
this idea and send info via a bongo drum. It’d kind of like the man who
turned his old satellite dish into a 10 mile line of sight transmitter for
his home wireless network with the aid of an old Pringles can.
Actually, I think it goes even simpler than that. It’s probably a
development of the common attitude in theatre that not only do we use
products in ways the manufacturer doesn’t recommend, we use stuff in ways
the manufacturer never even dreamed of before. We use simple household
products in ways that would make most lawyers yell “Class Action!” like
those excited screams you hear in porn films. MacGyver has nothing on any
half-decent theatre company.
