The Dragon & the'Bot Poet
wELCOMING
VISITORS TO AN
AMUSEMENT PARK
OF THE MIND
AT THE oMNIPLEX IN oKLAHOMA cITY.
STANDING
NEARLY NINE
FEET TALL, IT RESPONDS TO THE VISITORS' DONATIONS IN THE MOUTH OF ITS
WINGED SIDEKICK BY WAVING ITS ARMS, ROLLING ITS EYES AND BY UTTERING
PROFUNDITIES,
ABSURDITIES, POEMS, SAMPLES AND SOUND EFFECTS.
Dear Don, Sherry and Omniplex staff:
Although the two pieces are nearly done, the images below depict an "in
progress" state. Some wheels need to be colored The
palette base is now covered in aluminum but a perimeter of chained or
rope
stanchions has yet to be added to discourage touching.
The big change of course, is the color.
I'm finally done working on the sound files which presented a large obstacle I still don't fully understand but am beyond it now.
Sincerely,
Jim Pallas
