2004

Author: stefano pasqiuni

Description:
For the whole of 2004 I decided to make at least one artwork a day, and post them on a regular basis online. Even though this project does not expressively related to issues of privacy and personal information, it certainly reveals a lot of personal information about the artists involved in the project. Mainly me, that is.
Please note that due to lack of webspace I had to scatter the daily interventions on three different servers. If you need it, I have a CD of the whole project locally linked, or you may produce it yourself with a software such as Webzip.
The whole project was exhibited in Modena, Italy, at 42contemporaneo Gallery. The show is just finished, and I am hoping to be able to show it in the US.
Thank you for your attention, Stefano Pasquini

Description:
An examination of the Internet as a new commercial/surveillant realm, and of the types of spectators and citizens that it engenders, BuyOrBeware.com is the hyper-narrative account of a digital Flaneur (browser) who finds himself caught within "The Mall of the Future," a techno-utopia where the 19th century Arcade and the Panopticon have seamlessly merged.

Description:
In January-February 2005 I curated-hosted a 7 week artist-residency in my home-loft, the daily life of 13 artists-in-residence was documented using surveillance cameras, microphones and maxMSP Jitter effects applied in real-time influenced by handheld controllers and a touch screen; auto batch process compressed; and uploaded to a php-flash interface that uses dynamic video masking.

etay has been edited down from its peak weight of over 5 gb to a slim 500 mgb and is now ready for human consumption.

etay was supported by a grant from the Conseil des Art et Lettres Quebec.


Every Environment is Text-Rich #4

Author: Brooke Knight

URL: http://www.brookeknight.com/eeitr4

Description:
Every Environment is Text-Rich #4 investigates the role of text in describing place. Viewers choose multiple web cam locations from their descriptions, and the resulting image is a live, mulit-layered composite of all of those places in one frame. This work denies the expected readablility: instead of a control room-like set-up, the viewer is confronted with a confusing combination of scenes, turning surveillance on its head.

diluted earnings. Theoretically.
New theory:
(1) is consistent with all of the known facts;
(2) predicts new facts.

Degenerating. Predictions of new facts fail to be confirmed.
It is my opinion that this is one of the coolest Degenerating-Fact

Hall of Mirrors

Author: judsoN

URL: http://plasmastudii.org/arch/copy/copy.html

Description:
What does origal mean? What does copy mean? How is one superior, and in what way? Since all comprehensible data is recieved as a copy of sensory input, or data that is a recombinative function of mental storage, is it possible that there is never an original? The concept of originality is fundamentally illusive

if identity is linked to uniqueness or originality, neither of which exist outside a flawed perspective, where does that leave identity?

Meta[cc]

Author: Alex Killough

URL: http://meta-cc.net

Description:
Meta-CC seeks to create an open forum for real time discussion, commentary, and cross-refrencing of electronic news and televised media. By combining strategies employed in web-based discussion forums, blogs , tele-text subtitling, on demand video streaming, and search engines, the open captioning format employed by Meta-CC will allow users to gain multiple perspectives and resources engaging current events. The Fox News Channel in the U.S. will be archived as our initial source material, but the system we are developing is adaptable for use with any cable news or television network.

Meta-CC's system will separate a single video stream from the cable news source's line-21 closed caption element. The decoded text from the captions is used to create an archive of possible topics for debate/discussion, and cross referenced online to provide similar news stories from alternative news sources. As users view the captions and video, they may add their own search terms and additional online resources to the database. This information, combined with the topics being gleaned in real-time from the closed-caption stream, is used to create a news ticker superimposed upon the original video source, containing alternative commentary to the audio/video portion of the station being archived.

As the archive grows, so do the different divergent topics and resources presented to the user. While responding to a particular news story, the Meta-CC engine may present a user with a list of alternative sources for information about that particular topic, along with portions of the archive deemed relevant by the engine to the present conversation.

Meta-cc is in its infancy; as the project develops, additional features such as web-based remote channel switching, video archiving, and on-demand streaming of archived content will be implemented.
