- What sort of devices are these, off-the-shelf or home
- brewed? I'm using photo resistors for image/text
- manipulation; not "interactive" in terms of individual
- users-- don't think I'm ready to let them torment any
- mutants or the art ;) --but responsive to environmental
- light levels. Low tech. However, current installation
- will be the last based on cadium sulphide.

- Did the mutants get a fair shake? The Metalunians giant
- foreheads, signifying advanced evolution, did not jibe
- with the fact the mutants have even more massive heads
- --yet they were treated as brute insect-animals. Obviously
- a product of 1950's xenophobia. If the mutants controlled
- that planet it mayn't have been convulsed by wars and
- environmental disasters. Just a thought.
-
- Are you using captured frames (and if so what about rights,
- lawyers, heat, etc.?) or hand-drawn renderings?
-
- I'd like to try something based on _Fiend Without A Face_
- sometime.
