Sunday
4:05 So I'm seeing a guitarist, a (probably) first nations older man, and a younger guy in black - context/ description needed

4:10 Sound on guitarist good, young man cuts out, older man very big gaps

4:15 Younger man in black seems to be talking about turning his life around

4;15 Older man discussing priorities in Vancouver - global versus local - sound still cuts out a lot

4:16 Younger man - sync is out sound/image

4: 16 Guitarist very pixelated - talking instead of playing now

4:40 Young man sound out, guitarist good sound and images, older man stopped at 3 minutes or so??

The site is here: Virtual Vigil

A project long in the making using streaming video of projections in London UK and across Canada putting up the name of every one of the 68,000 Canadians killed in the First World War.

Exploiting the time difference the project begins in London where each name will be featured for 8 seconds, then moved to a faded section below for another 17 seconds. Every name will be featured in this way at each time zone across Canada. (I'm unable to find the live site for 'Pacific' at time of writing.)

If someone knows the name of a relative who was killed they can visit the site, enter the name and find the exact moment when their relatives name will be featured at each site.

The three creative parts of the project - the research and development, the technical projection and the web hardware and software are handled by the following:

R.H. Thompson
