We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl. It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- === Amy Ito === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University Computer Systems Lab "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

A physical body that could be touched never existed. The broadcast was a real-time holographic synthesis fed from the Burbank basement. -- Mei Dubois | mdubois@purdue.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 3658 0E7D 9D70 56A4 "Keep the channels open."
