The View Master
Childhood memories of making images come to life with the viewmaster were never as good as this!
-
what an incredible artist! "A packed audience of 380 people at the Guild Theater in Portland were treated to a live Lucifugia Thigmotaxis experience. Each was given a viewmaster viewer and a set of four Vladmaster reels. The soundtrack was played over the theater sound system and all 380 people followed the adventures of a cockroach named Stanley through narration, music, sound effects and ding noises to cue the advancing of the reels."

Am I missing something? Is there anything to actually experience at the site, or is it just plugs for the guy's product/performances? In which case, it hardly seems postworthy.
-
languagehat, whatever 'tis, I seem to be missing it, too.
-
I liked it - particularly the Italo Calvino set. I also like Viewmasters too, so it may be nostalgia speaking.
-
I really had no opinion about viewmasters, but like ilyadeux, I liked the Calvino set. Or maybe just because I like the book.
-
So, uh, can anybody give me a link to whatever it is that's being looked at? Languagehat, Beeswacky, and I seem to be missing the actual contents of the page. All I can see is advertising and a bit of "proof of concept".

I dunno. I watched the video clip (.mov) with an excerpt from the cockroach show. Not terribly impressed, unfortunately.
