“Semi-Automatic Writing; an Opera for Human and Machine Voices”
It will be of
interest to both tonight’s live audience and to our radio audience that the
libretto was developed using an inter-active computer text-generating
programme. The author’s initial interests in the Automatic-Writing techniques
of the Surrealist Poets suggested a method in which the sub-conscious narrative
or naturalistic speech is replaced by a dialogue with an artificial intelligence
system. Here the author embraces serendipity and regards the machine as an
oracle."
This animation follows the spirit of the original installation, taking tiny snippets from the entire work and fitting them together in a way which allows the film makers' subconscious processes to surface.
In the same spirit, the film is created using mixed media and a variety of digital tools. The virtual world location, Castle Mar is featured, alongside sketches and dedicated machinima program Moviestorm.
The Land of Lar is a beautiful build and can be visited for free by anyone with a games capable pc.

The Queen's feast..is it life or death? Or even just a nice plate of stew?
