How if I could make them change places? Would Minckeleers be able to know how it feels to be a Mooswief? Could a Mooswief then, if only for a moment, become a Minckeleers?</div><div><br></div><div>This became the subject of 'Het Leven is een Gekleurde Draad' (Life is a Color Wire), a sound/visual installation on the Maastricht Markt, produced for Stichting Intro In Situ during the 2010 Parcours, on Saturday September 11th.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>First part (some history): http://www.harsmedia.com/SoundBlog/Archief/00747.php</div><div>Second part: http://www.harsmedia.com/SoundBlog/Archief/00748.php</div><div>YouTube of setting up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjMLIgcgyig</div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy this week, then enjoy the next one.</div><div>-- Harold Schellinx</div> </body>
