http://indiegogo.com/zedto On March 20, 2012, ByoLogyc Inc held an exclusive party for "investors" in the corporation. With ByoEnrich, ByoMate, ByoBreath, and ByoGrow on display and CEO Chet Getram giving his celebration speech, the event demonstrated ByoLogyc's dedication to improving the human lifestyle through highly advanced biotechnology. * ByoLogyc Inc is an organization in the fictionalized live performance / interactive drama project being created by ZEDToronto. ZED.to has created a crowdfunding campaign through IndieGoGo to have the audience both support and participate in the endeavour, to experience the story over 8 months through online narrative and in 3 planned live events. To take part and help fund this creative project, see the links below! As for the party, after a short period of mingling in the Ingram Gallery with staff and trying out products, Chet arrived with Diva Capricia as his 'special guest', who gave a chilling performance of "Ebben? Ne andro lontana" from Catallani's opera "La Wally" to help set the mood for the evening. I can't say I'm a fan of opera, but after being chilled to the bone by Capricia's live performance, I had to research the song and find out what story it was that she was performing. The discovery did not disappoint. That was only the beginning of the night, however, as more drama unfolded throughout the party -- including a minor brawl with the bartender, and the removal of the contracted media coverage team for asking too many questions. And sadly, Capricia was the one left behind at the party as Chet took leave early -- with Olive Swift on his arm. But what of the attendees? We were given the opportunity to try some of their products. We were treated to catered oer d'oeuvres ...from a biotech company experimenting with pharmaceutical drugs hoped to improve human lifestyle. Could we have really been labs rats? Two ByoLogyc scientists, including Davian Baxter, who were taking swabs from guests and asking a list of questions didn't provide any comfort on that front. The event was held at the Ingram Gallery in Toronto and was a live preview event executed as part of the ZED Toronto project. The full experience plans to 'chronicle the end of the world', in a zombie apocalypse as it were, with ByoLogyc at the helm. The finale event to be held in October promises to be a live, exciting and dramatic experience, and a struggle for survival at a yet undisclosed location. What happens next?
