YOU NEED SHOCKWAVE PLUG IN, A VERY GOOD INTERNET CONNECTION AND
A VERY GOOD COMPUTER TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROJECT!
I TRULY APOLOGIZE ANY INCONVENIENCES THAT MAY OCCUR!

"absolute loneliness" is my graduation work from the department of scenography
at estonian academy of arts

it is my first netproject.in january 2001 i did not know anything about shockwave or
how to write html.i had to learn it all during 4 months

the whole project is more voluminous than you see here
i see it become wider as a project of my future studies in multimedia - many different kind of projects connected to one site - so do not forget me!

i have never met or seen the participants, this project is based
on their "stories" - it is half biographical, half fictional

the source of "absolute loneliness" is "a research" from people & their tales.
i did not want to make up the characters so i asked 34 questions through
the mediation of the www-environment from people all over the world - i found their addresses from several festivals' catalogues

people did not know what kind of project they are dealing with (although some asked me to explain the concept a bit), people were only told they will remain anonymous - they were agreed that i use their proper names - this gave me hope they were
honest while answering

the participants answered 34 questions about outer & inner assets
different stories exploited different amount answers but the fear of absolute loneliness dominated -
the name of my first "baby" was settled
the mission of the project was to create characters based on the participants
& write a story based on the answers for each of them

other intensions and reasons why the project turned out like it did:
1. i was delighted to use the possibilities of net & its tools and compound it with the foundation of the plays/the filmscripts - the narrative.
2. wanted to show to (art)people that www-environment is not (usuful) only for writing e-mails & playing games - art(projects) can be easily created
and shown in the internet

the answer waiting to be found -
1. how many people will answer
2. who are they
3. what's the extent of getting to know them when asking only 34 questions
4. what kind of answers will i get
5. what kind of stories will i write
6. feedback - what will the participants think about the stories & how will they react
7. can our co-operation go on in the future (some have been already interested in)
8. how will react people who hasn't been personally involved

hope you like this experiment
you are welcome to visit this project later - the project will go on
