it’s about the energy and not the actual events
Looking at some photos of “windows” … I thought about Window Peeping and the real stories from NYC that inspired me to create this series of videos but … while the actual events are seductive and entertaining to say the least … I no longer live in NYC and these videos are not about the what I saw but about how I felt. I want to recreate the collective energy of the city and initiate a voyeur/exhibitionist "exchange of energy" through an intimate virtual connection with the audience.

about window peeping and the absolute creative space
I believe that because of how this particular story relates to my need of creating The Absolute Creative Space, this will be most likely the first NYC Story in the series. All the triggers and thoughts I’ve been exploring lately in my Creative Energy Workouts are somehow linked to this project.

about new ways to go public
A lot has changed since the events that inspired the “Window Peeping” story took place. The Internet wasn’t around so the current venues for exhibitionism were not available just yet. I was thinking about the differences between letting someone in your world through a computer or phone camera and just opening the drapes in your apartment. Obviously, unless you limit your audience by going into a private chat room or connecting directly with someone, anonymity plays a big part in this. I was also thinking about the time when “live cams” came around - the kind when someone just had cameras on in their house all they long and you could just tuned in an watch them go about their lives. These were a one-way stream so, in my opinion, closer to the idea I’m exploring in Window Peeping where the person is not necessarily “putting on a show” but “sort of” living his/her life and just letting others “peep in”.

WINDOW PEEPING: A NYC STORY
A LAT Digital Space production for the series NYC STORIES: Not Your Classic Stories based on my post: A Collective Energy of Some Sort.
A LAT Digital Space production for the series NYC STORIES: Not Your Classic Stories. Story about voyeurism, exhibitionism, self-confidence and a collective energy of some sort.
ABOUT THE FORMAT
Although this series was originally proposed as a collection of Short-One-Act Virtual Theater Plays for LAT Digital Space, I thought I better follow the ideas wherever they want to take me. Perhaps they will end-up as short videos, cross-disciplinary collection of works or - as they were originally intended - short virtual theater productions.

about new york city’s inspiring energy
Since I no longer live in NYC, in order to convey the city’s inspiring energy, I first must explore the particular “energy” for each proposed story and to do so, I probably will end-up creating a series of sub-projects “triggered” by the original musing energy.
