Computer 3 will feature a digital work by Tennesee Rice Dixon called "aCount". It is an
interactive movie which is responsive to sound levels and to precise movement of the mouse. It
moves slowly through a memory and a conversation occurring between two people as they
recollect a time in the past spent together. The viewer must speak or hum into the microphone
because some parts require sound input order to progress. It is not what is said that matters, it
is the level, duration and rhythm of the sound input that is considered. Tennessee has shown
her work at The Kitchen '00; Mass MOCA '00; South by Southwest Conference '99 and the
Governors Conference on Art and Technology, NY '98. "aCount" was first made in 1998 and
has been reworked and new versions have been developed over time. "aCount" was
presented in 1998 at the NY Expo of Short Film and Video ; Roulette, NYC; Stephen Gang
Gallery, NYC and Harvestworks-Screens and Memes, NYC.
