Read the story while the big animation file is downloading. The story, which Bible only mentions, but the event had a enourmous consequences. My and your lives would be different if not for this SEVENTH DAY!
The art work was done in many places -- Virginia, New York, Addis Ababa and Fairbanks. Ethiopian iconography is another "academic" subject I wish to write about. I'm trying to put together a new for me (in format) "e-book" with pictures and sounds -- "Children Prayers." Originally, I had another title "Prayers for Unspelling Curse" -- the scrolls are supposed to protect, they are visual prayers. Besides, reggae music with its mellow rhythm and soft beat has a childish mood in it. (For this page I use Mozart, the reggae is the after-the-end music). Also, the stories for the book are from the past -- the times of kings and demons, something which we consider the era of fairy tales. Maybe, I like this project because I am tired of serious writing.... E-Book? Electronic or Ethiopian? Hey, the other world, which was visible only in dreams and revelations, is like our electro-magnetic waves! You don't see pictures without tv set and can't hear radio without antenna. The electronic creatures of the past -- angels and devils, they are around, trust me.
"Oh, no! Please, please!" cried angels....
The colors lost their places.... the sHapEs forgot their fOrmS...
And then it became
Now the world had a new place to be....
Hell
Silence...
Death was born and the sorrow...
....I don't remember where I saw them, the two angels, but that's what I saw after....
Now you know when the war was born....
No! Not yet!
The night before the last day of creation was very dark
when God made up his mind
The Word would be the Light!
Man!
His Son!
He will give the Light to the World!
and he will give him a name Adam
You know the rest of the story....
Text, Pictures, Music, Hyper-text... How to make it work together? And even, if possible, to make it interactive! I am trying to do it with my on-line-textbooks for classes I teach. Check Lab Theatre or Film-North
The Scrolls on this page are from Paintings I and Paintings II. Time-Tree pages.
