Re: Expectations
hi eryk:
actually, we do plan to make substantial improvements and expansions in the
coming year. we realize that the site could be a lot better, and have a
long to-do list. its not so much a matter of doing more than we otherwise
would have done, but rather keeping rhizome going so we can do what we
would have done anyway--things like implementing a decent search function,
improving the way threaded discussion works on the fresh texts page, and
adding more features to the calendar and opportunities pages. our
priorities will as always be driven by member feedback.
we should be posting a list of planned improvements and fixes in the near
future.
in the meantime, thanks for your patience and support!
best,
mark

Re: when Google has achieved the net art masterpiece, what are the artists to do?
apologies if someone already brought this up in connection with tim's
google post, but one net art installation that i find more successful and
interesting *as art* than google's live query is mark hansen and ben
rubin's listening post
<http://www.earstudio.com/projects/listeningPost.html>, currently on view
at the whitney museum (through march 8). like live query, this project taps
into the global zeitgeist. but it also transforms the captured data into a
profoundly moving visual and musical experience.
from the project web site:
What does the collective voice of the internet sound like? Countless others
are with you when you browse the web, some reading the same words at the
same time, and yet you have no way of sensing their presence. Listening
Post gives voice to this vast, silent world, transforming collective online
activity and communication into a multi-layered sound installation. This
uniquely designed space monitors thousands of online exchanges in real
time, revealing the patterns and rhythms of people communicating with each
other.
The visible and audible text in this installation is live, collected in
real-time from tens of thousands of chat rooms, forums, newsgroups,
bulletin boards, and other public online communication channels.
Statistical analysis organizes the messages into topic clusters based on
their content, tracking the ebb and flow of communication on the Web. A
tonal soundscape underlies the spoken text, its pitches and timbres
responding to changes in the flow and content of the messages.
