The use of multiple screens was particularly interesting |

multiple screens, experimental filmmaking |

I felt the process was very fun and enjoyable. The coice of 3 options is far better than two. |

Interaction, the ability to move around in the viewing environment. |
Needed more dim lighting to see. I didn't know where the entrance was. |
Multi-screening, so what I was felt interactive within the film and then the interaction |
Not 100% but felt the power of the Gods when looking over the world. |
Good but the answer were vague, to me fate means many options. For me fate is the change option. |

Would like a more 360% view |
Good but more could have been done |
Need more like smells and soft lighting when entering |
Depends on kind of installation |
Very good, should be done more often, but needs more funding for better effect. |

I like the multiple screens and timing of the piece. I also liked the touch screen |

It is about the Greek Gods, Hera and Zeus, combined with the modern distorts choice by humans |
gave the story more 3D perspective |
I liked being able to choose the endings. It was good to see how the audience reacted as a whole. |

I chose to save them. It was very cool to have that choice. I wanted to know the other endings |

The fact that you gave use the freedome to have our own interpretation of the piece by the use of multiple screens |

the gods observing humans and nature, or possibly nature observing the complexities of humans and the gods |

The interactive options got the audience involved. Multiple screens giving the film a more atmospheric feeling |
The seats were placed in the centre making it hard at some points for the viewers to look back and forth between the screens |
about lust and love between two gods with various incidents that happen throughout the film |

It was a good idea to get the audience involved, it shows that people have a chance to show how they truly feel about the characters and the situation |

The democratic nature of the form and the images, the freedom to edit the film with your bare eyeballs |

chronotopical experience, interaction |

phenomenological experience of mult-screened narrative |

Landscape tracking shots were effective but were somewhat more subtle than the acting |
The physical installation space could be used to place viewer further into the middle of the action |
I read this as situating the dubious narcissism of Echo and Narcissus in relation to human conflict, divine indifference andthe local landscape |
It had the potential to locate the myth in relation to local meanings of place |
The computer was fairly slow |
