look at the way TV looks at a monitor
As with money-related talk, you don't notice until it becomes a point of
interest how often images of computer monitors and what's on them pop up on
TV shows. I guess there's a whole Director biz making work that appears on
TV in this way.
It's interesting to look at the way TV looks at a monitor.
Don't know what sort of generalizations one could make about it. It's not
TV's impression of computer art, usually, but is art pretending to be data
visualization, often. Kind of tantalizing as a subject. One is often asked
to believe that one is not looking at art but at the interface of some
tool/app used by the people in the show. However, the interfaces are almost
always *not* recognizable as tools/apps commonly used and would never be
part of a workable app. Instead, there is usually some element of big visual
message indicating, often, the problem to be dealt with by the people in the
show.
The art is rarely on the monitor; the art is on the screen. Big emphasis on
computer as tool that provides crucial information.

please send me mind blowing audio-related URLs
I'm writing an article on interesting projects involving audio and would ask
you to backchannel me URLs of what you feel are recent and noteworthy such
projects. I'm going to look at various types of projects:
Interactive audio.
Things like the Microsound millieu.
Bands or musicians like Servovalve who are both performing and using the Web
as a serious aspect of the work.
Innovative music.
Projects such as eigenradio that play in an interesting way with net radio.
Jason Freeman's N.A.G and its engagement with P2P.
Basically the idea is to try to mention a lot of great projects and provide
urls to them. So if there's stuff out there that blows your mind, please
send me the URL.
Saw some terrific recent audio work, by the way, at
http://neural.it/english -- great to see this important site now in
English!!!!!!!! And the editors, I note, have a special interest in
presenting funky audio projects. Will also be listing sites such as
neural.it that are good resources for new links.
Thanks,
