Art, do you have something on the web about the event? Can we see the
pano? I'd like to see it.
There's a way to include content that isn't in the timeframe of the
event. 1. Do the work of mixing or assembling or compositing your
panorama within the timeframe. 2. Make the main art relevant to the
timeframe. The easiest way to do this is to shoot a related panorama.
But it could be any QTVR source artwork. In your case it could have
been a local meditation event. 3. Superimpose elements of the
relevant content onto the current pano. In your case it could have
been the mass meditation.
The idea is that we are creatures rooted in "now" in space and time.
But we are creatures of imagination containing the past and ideas
not limited to "now". So in the panorama, we provide a setting of now
and we strive to represent the totality of our being by visualizing
it and adding it to the panorama. Uri Cogan's panorama is an example.
He photographed a local scene or synthesized it, I can't remember at
the moment, but it was done the first day of the event. He then added
elements of art that must have been in a symbol library of some sort,
elements of his imagination, that were not happening now literally,
but figuratively.
If you didn't have time to create the panorama within the timeframe
of the event, I don't see how it could fit into the event. The theme
is secondary to the timeframe. So why not include the meditation in
the next event, which could be the garden of your mind. The
meditation event is still there, outside of time.
