The Suicide Club - Duke University Residency, 1996

Scope and content:

Led by Ruiz during Ruiz's residency at Duke University, and gathering together students from Duke, Piedmont Community College, and the North Carolina School of the Arts, the project's product was intended to be an interactive video disc where the viewer could choose the sequences and direction of the action. The plot followed a script written by the students and Ruiz, and was based loosely on Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Suicide Club." Ten different segments were shot simultaneously in different rooms in Duke's Epworth Hall on Duke's East Campus. Tom Whiteside, then assistant director of Duke's film and video program, assisted in the production. -- Patricia Yeh, "Epworth becomes stage for new interactive video disk," Duke Chronicle, November 25, 1996; and "Suicide Club," in Ruiz, Entrevistas escogidas - filmografia comentada (2013), p. 241.
