Greetings...

I read about your project and I'm interested in helping out.

I'm in the midst of documenting a project that took place last weekend
called SYNERGY:PANIC!.  It was a live image-manipulation/collaboration
project who's results shown on monitors at the ROGUE club in
Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA).  Dozens of people from all over gathered
via IRC and FTP to upload, download and manipulate each other's images.
We were sending images from ROGUE (a nightclub with dancing) to the FTP
site and people would manipulate them and send them back.  It was
humourous, revealing and scary at times.
 
You can check out the results at the FTP site sunsite.unc.edu in the
/pub/multimedia/pictures/OTIS/smartBOMB/photos.  You can also use the
web to go to http://zapruder.pds.med.umich.edu/smart.html and check them
out that way.
 
I'm wondering if you'll have the ability to grab images from OTIS during
your event and show them live.  If so, I can gather a few dozen artists
together and have them manipulating images DURING your event and
uploading them to OTIS (sunsite.unc.edu) for you to grab and display.
Will you have the ability to grab your own pictures at the HANDSHAKE
event?  If so, would you be able to send these images to OTIS for people
to manipulate and send back to OTIS for you to grab and display.
 
Let me know if any of this interests you.
