I like its awareness that the interactivity and design are a part of the
language of such pieces, mez.
predictable in its interactivity? it does get beyond the mouseover.
I like what it has to say about the language of new media.
and i like the humour.
also, the design, like the stuff around the bottom of the screen, and the
windowing, is well done.
in interface design, it isn't clumsy and blinkeredly print headed.

TheLanguageOfNewMedia by George Shaw and Thomas Swiss
http://www.iath.virginia.edu/pmc/current.issue/swiss/13.3swiss_shaw.html
One of the better poems I've seen in Flash.
A collab between George Shaw (who did the design and programming) and Thomas
Swiss.
Nice to see such work in Postmodern Culture.

Eigenradio and related
Checked out http://eigenradio.media.mit.edu today.
From the site:
"Eigenradio makes its optimal music by analyzing in real time dozens of
radio stations at once. When our bank of computers has heard enough music,
it will go to work on making more just like it. Since we listen to so much
music all the time, Eigenradio is always on and always live. What you hear
on Eigenradio is the best of the New Music, distilled and de-correlated. One
song on Eigenradio is worth at least twenty songs on old radio."
I listened to it for about a half hour.
It seems the concept is more interesting than the sound. It doesn't do
exciting things with the audio itself.
But then neither does most radio music, which is why the concept, at least,
of the piece is compelling.
A toss-up between http://eigenradio.media.mit.edu and a lot of stations.
Destruction is sometimes part of a regenerative process.
The visuals and text and concept of the piece are quite well done. The
audio, well, it's a burnt out shell of music, equalized so that the bottom
end has dropped out.
Tune in for the Job experience amid the ruins and ashes.
Add it to your Winamp playlist as a URL:
http://eigenradio.media.mit.edu:8000 . And when you get tired of your tunes,
play it occassionally.
It's kind of cool that one can add URLs to the Winamp playlist. So you end
up with a playlist drawn from not only your hard drive but from all over the
net.

Ana Maria Uribe
I am proud to announce that there is now a mirror of Ana Maria Uribe's site
at http://vispo.com/uribe .
Argentina's Ana Maria Uribe is one of my favorite poets. She has been
building her site at http://orbita.starmedia.com/%7Eamuribe/ for many years;
the mirror on vispo.com is of a mature, well-developed site of innovative
digital poetry.
Perhaps this is the start of some sort of process of the two sites growing
together over time. Ana Maria and I and others worked together on Paris
Connection (http://vispo.com/thefrenchartists) for several intense months.
And we are both poets inclined toward a multimedia approach. Who knows what
the future will bring?
In any case, I invite you to check out Ana Maria's inspiring work!
