Bill Bly's We Descend Traversal

This traversal of Bill Bly, conducted by Dene Grigar and Stuart Moulthrop, took place on Friday, January 31, 2014 at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), located in the Hornbake Library,  at the University of Maryland.

For the traversal we used the floppy disk version of We Descend running on an Apple SE computer from MITH's collection of vintage computers. Handling the videography for this Traversal was Skizz Cyzyk, from Zinniafilms, who used three different cameras to capture the event.  One camera was set on top of the computer in order to tape Bly's face as he looked at the screen and spoke. Another was set in the corner of the room and aimed at the screen in order to capture the screen action. A third camera was a hand held camera used to capture the audience and action taking place in the room. All of this data was edited into one raw file and then divided into smaller clips for the project.
