David Michalek Video Interview about "Slow Dancing" at Lincoln Center

In "Jaw-Dropping "Slow Dancing" Videos by David Michalek," I wrote about Guggenheim Museum "Works & Process" program featuring discussion of upcoming hi-def videos of dancers that will be projected on to the facade of New York State Theater at Lincoln Center starting July 10th.

It is too bad. I've seen this video footage and it is truly spectacular.

BTW, in my post about presentation at Guggenheim, I wrote that the video of the 5-second dance sequences took up 20 gigs of data. The actual number is 220 gigs of data as Michalek says in above video. That makes sense because during his talk he said that Bill T. Jones thought that each 5-second take could be saved to disk, which is definitely not realistic with such large file sizes. You would need teraflop disk for each 4 takes. (I'm guessing that 1,000 gigs = 1 teraflop)?
