- c08 SMILE, YOU ARE ON TELE!
- by RokDaZone
-
-
-
- c09Blinded by the light, I sit. The
- microphone uncomfortably tied to my
- chest reminds me of a dead old bug,
- starved for boredom. Any eventual
- attempt to just wipe it away stranded
- under the stern looks of the camera
- assistance. Is this the way TV-stars
- feel?
-
- One camera directly pointing at me,
- the other one dances around me, moved
- by the virtous hands of a
- professional. Zooming in. Swirring
- away. Close up. Back again.
-
- Two interviewees press out answers
- from me. Questions like machineguns.
- Where did the Scene come from? What
- meaning has the internet to the Scene?
- Why copyparties?
-
- I stutter my answers. Irritated.
- Nervously.
-
- Why do Sceners waste their time by
- doing uncommercial programs? Ah,
- finally one for me to set the Scene
- into the right spot.
- f4'There are groups producing games like
- The Silents with their Pinball-series,
- leading to the actual pinball-
- game-mania.' f1An eyebrow flickers up
- for the friction of a second. The
- producer is not convinced. f4'Infect,'
- f1I hurry to tell, f4'is just about to
- release a program for the commercial
- sector. It is a... an...' f1(givemethe-
- wordgivemetheword) f4'An...' f1Sweat pours
- from my cheeks. f4'A new videoeffect-
- processor!'
-
- f1c08Shit! Cack! c09No videoeffectprocessor
- - a effectprocessor for animation
- linking, it was. I imagine thousands
- of Sceners roaring out in scornfully
- laughter. They will point their
- fingers at me. I am Scenically dead.
- Slowly I fade away, dropping from the
- chair, ripping off the microphone from
- my chest, leading into a buzzing noice
- that kills the ear of the tonemaster,
- who - with an outcry - jumps out of
- his kneeling position, hitting the
- cameraman. He looses his camera, it
- crashes to the ground, splintering
- into a heap of broken lenses and
- wrecked microchips. The director
- rages. The kettle of tumult
- escalates. I run through dark narrow
- corridors, the lenchmop direct behind
- me.
- They get me! Left, no right! A
- oneway. Slowly, the net is closing
- in.
-
- Then they are over me. The director
- takes me by the shirt and...
-
- f4'It's really nice if at least someone
- can articluate himself in front of the
- camera about the Scene. Most of the
- people were talking alot, but didn't
- tell much.'
-
- f1Slowly I realise it was just a dream.
- Just a hallucination. I am still
- sitting here. The camera assistance
- grins at me, the second cameraman is
- just taking another close up on the
- button at my chest, telling who I am:
- RokDaZone of Artwork.
- Later this year, this shot will be
- broadcasted to millions of homes
- Europewide. On the c07th of Novembre
- 1996c09 to be exact. At c07:30 PM c09to tell
- the truth.
-
-
-
- c08 WHY A REPORT ABOUT THE SCENE
-
- c09What you will be able to watch on the
- 19th Novembre is not going to be a
- report about the Scene exclusivly, but
- a reportage about the Internet.
- c07Martin Missonierc09, the director,
- explains that he and his team were
- invited by the organisers of The
- Summer Party to have a look on our
- f2'subculture'f1. Missonnier was totally
- amazed by the ongoings at the event
- and never was too lazy to ask
- thousands of questions to find out
- more about our obsession, always with
- a camera at hand. Especially the
- preview of c07Dataworld 2 c09from c07Infectc09,
- c07Artworks The Gate c09and c07Phi c09but also the
- releases from the French coderesse
- c07Clary/Drifters c09found much attention by
- the Parisien. Clary complains: f4'They
- filmed me while talking to others,
- while going around, while computing.
- Even when we delivered our demo for
- the competition, a rott of cameramen
- were behind us.' f1Still not only her
- had to 'suffer', also myself,
- c07Eksec/Infect c09and others were filmed
- and interviewed. c08f4'It's unbelievable!'
- c09f1this were the words one heard most of
- the time from Missonnier, who at the
- time c07Generation c09gets released is still
- busy with editing.
-
-
- c08 WHAT WILL WE GET TO SEE
-
- c09Even though huge part of the report
- will focus on the Internet, I can
- nothing but recommend to watch this
- telecast to any Scener. For the first
- time ever we will get nothing but good
- criticism and various Sceners will
- probably be shown, trying to explain
- what is going on. Even if in the end
- only five minutes should deal with the
- Scene, the report might be interesting
- for us. Martin wrote in a personal
- e-mail to me after the party that he
- went to the USA to talk to some of the
- real Internet legends. After he
- returned, he told me quite a lot about
- it which I know will ot reveal only
- that much: f4'It was unbelievable!'
