15/11: singing bridges
Category: Submissions
Posted by: bridgegirl
every picture tells a story.... every bridge sings a song
http://www.singingbridges.net/diary/
jodi rose travels the world recording the sounds of bridges - the vibrations in their structure, especially the cables - highlighting their inherent aesthetic & musique concrete qualities with experimental composition, installation, performance and other manifestations. her blog is a personal diary charting this journey of continually evolving locations, people and events through reflections, poetic, mundane and philosophical meanderings. currently engaged as bridge guard for the maria valeria bridge on the border of hungary and slovakia, jodi has slipped into a life where constant travel and movement are the only security and stability she knows. friends and strangers join her journey through this diary, sending greetings and invitations to record new bridges, create art for them, and visit different worlds. her work is a lifetime project of mental and metaphysical bridging, connecting her to people, places, ideas and of course, bridges.

15/11: CONNECTED MEMORIES

Connected Memories (CM) is a particular kind of blog, which merges the autobiographical storytelling, the attitude to a personal journal, with
the idea of a virtual/mind generated hypertext. It can be read as a project for a series of various unique tales, indeed shared, or as a huge collective diary. The CM concept is about Memory, the telling of our own memories and the comments about them and/or about the remembering mechanism of Memory tout-court.
The stories and the reflections which are published on CM can be the starting memory materials for stories and thoughts and recollections of someone else (see the 2d and the 3d maps).

14/11: On blogging as curating
Category: Submissions
Posted by: luis
What if a blog could be thought of as an exhibition? It would turn blogging activity into curating.
The idea isn't new at all, but is still somewhat difficult to accept by those practicing traditional curatorial activities. I thought about it last week. What has SOURCE CODE become? I (the blogger) am responsible for selecting works (and other relevant documentation for the purpose of this blog/exhibition), displaying them (their urls) and recontextualizing them from my own point of view. What I am doing in this process is basically what any curator does. Starting from my own subjective views of the world, I try to organize, to give meaning, to make sense out of the cultural production I'm interested in. I include them in my discourse, using them to pass a message. The choices I make have a purpose, they are not random, and consequences can arise from them.
The practice of curating remains the same, only the context changes.
So start staging your own shows. Select, include, exclude, draw similarities, contextualize, organise the unorganisable. Blog your heart out.

Synopsis: _[net]blog to log][ah!rhythm][_ is a reverse-engineered weblog - read: _bio_log_ as opposed 2 a standardized weblog.
this meshwork of biology/biography + technology [in log form] is inscribed using the polysemic language system termed _mezangelle_, which evolved/s from multifarious email exchanges, computer code flavoured language and net iconographs. To _mezangelle_ means to take words/wordstrings/sentences and alter them in such a way as to extend and enhance meaning beyond the predicted or the expected. It\\\'s similar to making plain text hypertextual via the arrangement and dissection of words. _Mezangelling_ attempts to expand traditional text parameters through layered/alternative/code based meanings embedded into meta-phonetic renderings of language.
_[net]blog to log][ah!rhythm][_ uses the net.work as potential for bio_mimicry, utilizing realtime_units [readers ie hence potential collaborators] as a standard of interaction.

07/11: maerd remix modules
Category: Submissions
Posted by: jhave
Blog remixes based on a foundation built for www.maerd.ca.
In each case the remix is accessible from the blog. The rss feed from the blog is converted into a set of simple buttons. Images are played back in slideshow fashion. For PCs viewer's webcam data is converted into a roaming kaliedoscope. In addition, a shoutcast playlist is automatically opened as the audio soundtrack. Mp3 are fired off with mouse clicks and their titles become mobile phrases. All these features can be turned on or off; but this capacity becomes active only after a certain number of clicks have been registered.
The interface is based on a "click anywhere" model which attempts to reduce the viewers cognitive navigational load while enhancing sensual qualities. For example clicking anywhere on the background photo will change it. Clicking on the video will change it. If the current mp3 has finished clicking anywhere launches another one. Once a blog entry has been read, its button falls to the bottom of the screen. Usability is conjoined with aesthetic thickness in an attempt to augment the sensual quality, and contrast the current focus on textual information in blogs.
The source code flash file and php scripts are open-source and available for download on Year01complete with instructions on how to modify a simple txt file so that the source blog can be set to any rss feed. (see "code" site below for URL to source files)
1.
Blog remix that accompanied "Code" (a 2005 exhibit of online open-source art on year01.com ). All images are released under a Creative Commons license and are available on flickr. The Code blog is now dormant but will be undergoing rejuvenation as Montreal intellectual-artist Pascale Malaterre has expressed interest in hosting discussion on that site in december.

Blog of the summer seminar of the Topological Media Lab at Concordia University organized by Sha Xin Wei in July and August 2005, Montreal. The blog is not seeing much traffic currently but the remix utilizes 600 documentative photos and a few films. If you choose to feature the project I could suggest to Xin Wei that he reencourage blog usage instead of their current mailing list.
