It's the West Wave Dance Festival in San Francisco.  I'm already 
applying once as a choreographer (of regular dances, which is to say 
live human beings).  But another part of the festival is a Digital Dance 
Film Festival.  So I'm entering a film of algorithmically controlled 
virtual dancers.  The geos that I mentioned are the various body parts 
of the "dancers".  Since the dancers are colorless (all white) and the 
only colors are generated by lighting effects, it doesn't matter that 
the colors aren't correct, since it's supposed to be very abstract anyway.

However, now that you mention it, I see that red comes out as its 
opposite, cyan; green as its opposite, magenta; but blue strangely 
remains blue.  And it *does* have an effect on the film, since it pulls 
it too much to the blue end, and therefore it isn't as colorful as it 
should be.  And no, I don't know how to convert it.

I'll start a new thread.
