I actually had a Miles, Mingus and Roland Kirk day! it was nice to get
recommended some music today,.. instead of having to pick it myself.
I am listening to SONIC YOUTH. Another set of great visionaries, that
work well with the "IDEA" of creating "NEW MEDIA"
I really enjoy all that i have learned from (all of the above). I
actually think that sonic youth and miles are quite similar.

Have you ever dreamed in code?
1.) What programming languages do you use?
2.) Why did you choose the language(s) that you use,
and how did you learn it/them?
3.) Were you university-trained in programming or
self-taught? What advantages and disadvantages do you
see in this method of learning?
4.) How concerned are you with a language's political
implications, i.e. with whether the language is open
source or not? Why?
5.) Does your choice of programming lamguage effect
the way you approach a problem you wish to solve with
that language?
6.) Did you come to New Media Art from Computer
Science or from the Arts? Discuss the transition.
7.) What does programming add or subtract from an art
object? Is the artist-programmer giving up control of
the object by coding it, or introducing more control?
8.) Does each programming language imply an ontology?
9.) Have you ever dreamed in code?
10.) Can one code art objects that produce catharsis
in the user?

Re: Re: Blog vs Board (re: Blogging Survey)
i've always asked myself: what really is the difference between a blog and a threaded message-board? what's the difference between a group blog and a wiki?

Along with tech like comments, trackbacks, and various other
connections blogs function very well as interconnected conversations
which are distributed (like the net itself) and therefor more robust
than one singular meeting place.
The blog/TV analogy doesn't cut it for me.

phpaintings: painting number 1: Microsoft stock quotes
http://www.lewislacook.com/phpaintings/painting1.php
Yes, it looks MUCH like the previous experiment I did with dynamically generated images(it should, seeing as how it's built on the previous experiment's code); this one, however, relies on external data to decide how many (randomly-placed)solid lines, dashed lines, and randomly-colored pixels to use. The external data is generated from Yahoo stock quotes for Microsoft stock...
