Our mission is to co-create extraordinary art that connects with contemporary audiences providing innovative, engaging and inclusive digital and physical spaces for appreciating and participating in practices in art, technology and social change.

A month or so ago Alan mentioned to me that he had once written a text ed=
itor that was designed to "frustrate" the writing of the user. This editor =
would transform the user's writing as the user enetered text. I thought it =
was an ingenious concept for a piece: a work that combined the networking p=
ossibilities of user input and transformation...a work that would literally=
change what the user invested in the object...So I set about making an app=
roximation of what Alan was talking about.
This is the web mix of that idea. A full blown piece of software based on=
this concept is still in the works (I'm writing THAT one in C++), but this=
Flash version combines that concept with some multimedia ideas. To use it,=
simply enter text in the blue box. Every time you press enter, your text w=
ill change; sometimes it will be replaced by a line from some of Alan's wri=
ting, sometimes it will spatter your text in asemic strings across the box,=
sometimes your text will simply disappear, and sometimes a combination of =
these will happen. I doubt that this work is anywhere near as capable as Al=
an's original program, but it seems to me to be a worthy web amusement.
There are four different background music sequences, and these load when =
this page loads. Revisit to hear them all.
The film loop is Alan's: I altered it, but it can be found in its origina=
l form on Alan's Internet Text site (http://www.anu.edu.au/english/internet=
_txt/).

in Iraq. (Berlin Wall huh!)

Webby Awards: net art nominees
Hi Doron,
I kind of find it a sort of contradiction that it is a 'Webby award' (not
just the title) yet people have to pay up to join, so to be chosen.
So, those who do not pay are not included, therefore it is not a real
interpretation of the best sites on the Internet, it is mainly based on
(suppozedly) the best who apllied. So whats the point of having the webby
awards?
