News : Sequential Progression v. 1.0 - 1.1
Link

Paradox Explorer's "Sequential Progression" events combined electronics, Virtual Reality and the internet into an environment where audio/video artists were able to share their ideas and perform interactively. The Sequential Progression events included new compositions and videos from the band, as well as specially designed software that allowed participants to generate sound and image using a Virtual Reality data glove. This software system operates over the internet so that performers can be geographically distributed. The event included audience participation where members of the audience came up to the stage to try the tools for themselves.

Below are links to Quicktime movies of Sequential Progression demonstrations 1.0 - 1.1. These movies are available for download or stream. If you enjoy the demonstrations and would like to see the performance, consider purchasing the Paradox Explorer's "Sequential Progression" DVD which features both music performances in high-quality digital video. The DVD also features a photo gallery of our interactive installation at Sync06. You can purchase the DVD online here.
