"what-if ... "


A 1970 NOGUCHI Retrospective, in COLOR --
WHAT IF Indiana University commemorated Isamu Noguchi's centennial with COLOR representations of those pieces, previously reproduced in B&W, of his part of the 1970 IU Sesquicentennial Art Museum show ..., in order to now honor Noguchi's formative schooling experience in Indiana [which--is as much too easy to forget as well as ignore--was in COLOR].

A modernized, idealized Retrospective -- These modern Color illustrations can now appear in the Virtual form of a self-paced Kiosk presentation ideally located within the IU Fine Arts campus. A screen-saver could also be easily repurposed as an Indiana University gift premium. This value-added endeavor is essentially an easy task using readily available resources, presented in a highly attractive manner with common and inexpensive digital Web technologies, such as those in the rough examples shown on the bottom Links. Under the University aegis, the rights required from others are not likely to be difficult to obtain.

[btw, in an inconsequential aside, ANY b&w reproduction of historic illustration is an intellectual abstraction merely distorted by photographic chemistry, and in the future might be considered as a Book Plague of the Gutenberg Era] [sort of like comparing b&w photos of the Martha Graham dance sets with videos of the "BLAST!" formations of Samuel Barber's "Medea"] [a School of Music topical subject?]

Fantastic VOYAGEUR
the Voyageur / visualizer,
it is as though Noguchi travels through meta-data and space-time
like an Eames "Power of Ten" experience,
a TRON-like adventure of traveling through visual concepts,
and then choosing to bring into realization a focus for all to grasp,
-- "a fantastic journey"
