Talking back to the Streaming Generation

Actually, OT is talking back to every generation: DVD, VHS...8-track -- all of you! And all of us. Because art is interactive: artist-artist, artist-audience, audience-each other, audience-community. That's what makes it powerful. And that's what makes it so much fun.

The grace of a lot of dedicated donors and sponsors is how, along with a very lean budget.
