[spectre] 25 years: Livestream of original recording of Wax mbone multicast, 7PM PARIS TIME, then 7PM NEW YORK TIME , May 23

[David Blair]

Tomorrow, around 7pm EST, May 23rd, I'll mark the 25th year since my 
film *"Wax or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees" *[81:00, 1991] 
was the first film streamed over the Internet [NYTimes, 1993:

Among many things, it was a movie made about the first Iraq War, and 
drones, before either existed. By similar coincidence, the hero Jacob 
Maker ended the movie by talking through a brand new two-way television, 
thus speaking of the internet while being the first through it as a 
video object, all in a movie about the reality of television. Which 
leads us to today, the future of the past.

When *Wax* went on the mbone [multimedia backbone] that night, there 
were two VHS machines at the source... one playing the color video into 
an internet-connected computer, and another recording the black and 
white output from that computer. I will attempt to play that recording 
for the first time on this livestream, a two-way time echo of the 
inevitable past of the future, live! I will also attempt to read and 
reply to your comments, exactly as then. Additional time sensitive notes 
on this quickly approaching event can be read at

In any case, you might know Wax from Waxweb, which was one of the first 
online artist sites, also 1993. But first there was the movie, then 
there was the mbone, and then there was the web.

and if you miss the 'cast, well, that's how television works. As you 
have forgotten. See you in all the worlds, again, in reverse!
