Did anyone make it to this event or know more about it?

I am curious to know more about this piece. It was described to me by
an audience member like this (seems interesting):

> They had 8 projectors and a bunch of projections screens spread throughout
> the room at different angles. In the middle of the room were a bunch of
> technicians/coders who had a nest of laptops and mixers and such set up.
> Then they were coding live, which was visible on 1-3 of the screens at a
> time, always changing. On the other 2/3 of the screens were either visual
> images (that I guess were being created live by the coding) or the
> homescreens of the laptops or other visual info. There was also a narrator,
> pre-recorded, telling a story/commenting the whole time. So that I guess
> would be sort of like your music component.
>
> Anyway, what I thought was really strong was the mixture of watching them
> code on the screen, and then being able to walk right up behind the actual
> guy and look over his shoulder as he coded. Also interesting was that
> although I did not understand the computer language there were definitely
> things I could understand, for example something like this: <ljadkj49>
> <Objekt--Centre> <akfjd;k;j848>
>
> So I would not understand the numbers and letters and such, then all of a
> sudden I would see a command I could sort of recognize and then something
> would happen on the screen, and I saw a connection there.

Is Rolf Meinicke on this list? Anyone know anything about it? There's
a trailer supposedly on Youtube, but I can't get it to load somehow.

Best,

Renick
