From: robcamp@well.sf.ca.us (Robert Campanell) Subject: ENTERTAIN: Virtual environments @ Sunshine II, Washington DC Organization: The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link, Sausalito, CA I will be installing my techno music related virtual environments at the SUNSHINE 2 rave in Washington, DC. It will feature virtual environments based on progressive house and hardcore techno. The virtual environments are created using the Mandala system This will be the debut of the hardcore techno scene and it features the virtual character SplatterBrain. SplatterBrain owes itsinspiration to Cousin Sal, the music critic/reviewer for theBrooklyn techno 'zine "Under One Sky." The hardcore virtual environment opens up with a choice of three techno music options, Trance, Chillout, or Hardcore. A color cycle image that looks similar to pulsating wide open eye is used to select your musical preference. If you select either Trance or Chillout the eye transforms itself into a large X with a sound sample from a TV game show indicating an incorrect answer. When you choose Hardcore, the scene changes where you can play a game of Pong. However, instead of the little blip, the object that you bounce back and forth off the walls is a brain. Each time you "touch" the brain, a text messages appears such as "BRAIN DAMMAGE", "CEREBRAL HEMMORAGE" or "FRONTAL LOBOTOMY." Touch the message, and it transforms itself back to the brain. This is a time scene. Once the time expires, you are left standing there with an image of a brain. You grab the brain, and it splatters in all directions. After you've just destroyed your brain, the scene changes to a deserted highway where you are traveling. You come across the a sign along the roadway which reads, YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE STATE OF DELIRIUM. Scene fades to black.
