Supplementary Versions

Goals for the immediate future of Woyzeck include the development of both a Flash version and downloadable video iPod version for the Woyzeck official website at woyzeck.rebeccarouse.com. Web developer and graphic designer Michelle Moon Lee created an original font for the Woyzeck site inspired by Weimar-era poster lettering. Lee and I collaborated to design the logo and the look of the website. Figures 21 through 23 show images of the Woyzeck font and web pages. Figure 24 shows the map used for the Flash version and also in the printed programs at the installation. Padgett composed instrumental music for the website designed to loop seamlessly and introduce online audience members to the major musical themes of the piece.

The impetus to create the website and supplementary versions arose out of a major limitation of the AR technology used to create Woyzeck; its lack of accessibility. The hardware is costly to obtain, difficult to master, and therefore not widespread and certainly not available to the average consumer. We plan to create these supplementary versions of Woyzeck to allow wider distribution of the project and also to explore questions of interactivity, narrative form, and media. How will the audience interaction with the Flash version and video iPod version of Woyzeck differ from the audience interaction in the AR installation space? These supplementary versions present tantalizing opportunities for further research relating to Woyzeck and new media in performance.
