"Stromajer is dancing the net.ballet!" [It's time!]

# no special software needed (browser + MIDI pluggin only) #


After the project "Oppera Teorettikka Internettikka" (Ljubljana, March 1999 - Opera and Ballet of the Slovenian National Theatre), where Stromajer was singing the HTML code of his net art projects, he decided to dance the
 net ballet.

The aim of the project is also to support The State Academic Bolshoi Theatre (Moscow, Russia) and its renovation. The first part of the "net.ballet" on March 28th is going to be broadcasted live in Equinoxe gallery in Fre
iburg, Germany (contact: Julia H?ntzsch: jolaya@gmx.de). The second part of the project "Ballettikka Internettikka" will be realized in spring 2002 in Moscow (RealTimeSpace).

.. on the net only ... live with picture and sound ... to dance the HTML codes! ... to use the body, to transfer it to HTML and JavaScript codes, like the dancer's body was used at the beginning of the ballet to perform d
ifferent alphabetical characters ... to investigate and research the special net.dramaturgy: how the ballet story can be told/shown/danced with a serial of still images (live web cam video capture) automatically uploaded 
on the net every 20 seconds. whatever the dancer does between those 20 seconds is not published ... the influence that the "story with 20 seconds delay" has on dancer's body, on the story as a unit, and on viewers perspec
tive ... a live-still-images-story ...

... the dance, the body ... captured every 20 seconds and the image transferred to the net ... to offer the visitors only the parts (every 20 seconds) of the story. the movements/dance/story between those 20 seconds are .
.. a matter of viewer's imagination. what the dancer does between those 20 seconds? who knows.... smokes a cigarette? eats an apple?

... to e-dance about emotions ... the only occupation! about fear, emptiness, loneliness, anxiety, broken communication, pain, hurt, frustrations ... to dance a story about an individual, a modern man, searching for the l
and where he could be happy, joyfully, bright and sunny, but that land is so hard to find ... in fact ... does it exist at all?

... no happy end. maybe a ray of light, somewhere, in a very far distance ...

... the fragmented sequences ... an analogy to the digital way of transmission: opposed to the analog in which one must view every single step in a linear manner. it is somehow a mix between the two, and those voids (thos
e invisible 20 seconds) are part of the narrative as well, the narrative of the missing, which constitutes parallel stories - such as smoking or eating an apple ... related to the theories of the viewer-reader-spectator t
hat constructs the rest of the story in his/her mind ... to hypernarratives ...

... not to be protected; to stand frankly in front of the e-audience and to let them hurt the dancer ... but: to fight! a wonderful, extraordinary, but painful intimate artistic experience ....

SINGLE, structurally equal to ALL and endless in the microstructure is showing the totality and breakness of NET.BALLET in its mirror image. ONE, split into TWO is compatible with the life of NET.BALLET. The magic structu
re of ONE and the obsession with the individuality inspires the ritual beauty of polarity which is shown on the altar of art. The Story about NET.BALLET is presented by a mathematical microstructure.

The circle is drawn and in the circle there is a whole world.

There is a world of the COSMOS and a world of the ATOM, but NET.BALLET is the zone of their co-existence.
