but i can only imagine how that shit would have hit in its original social and technological context
My brother used to work for probably the elite "live entertainment" company on earth, does everything from Beyonce tours to the invisible wires for Cirque to wiring shots for greenscreens in Hollywood. It's some of the most futuristic shit I know. And it's still kinda "puppets rock" at it's core.
Their facility has some of the coolest tech on earth (they were the first to have VR goggles I knew, for designing tour experiences with artists), and they still have folks in the inside who Respect the Analog.
oh *shit yeah* that's rad
