Dear all,

Yesterday I gave some gifts to three beloved childs ( 8, 4 and 2 years old >
girl, boy and boy). The boys received electronic toys, this kind of devices
full of lights and buttons and things, the girl received a Hello Kit doll.
The four years old boy, looked at the doll and asked:

- What does she do?

The girl replyed?

- Nothing and then she embraced the doll with love.

Today I wake up with a question in my brains and I would like that you
clarify me:

How many kinds of web.art / net.art we have?

I admire deeply programming web.art and I can spent much time playing with
pieces by programming artists. By the way, do you know the site of Brazilian
Programming Artist Martha Carrer Cruz Gabriel at http://www.martha.com.br ?
If not, it is worth visiting it. Here, talking in Rhizome there are many
artists doing excellent programming art and it is not necessary to tell
names and sites, everybody know them.

However, I think that there is excellent not programming web.art / net.art
being done:

- For example, how do you classify the excellent project nZNL, a drawing a
day, by Geert Dekkers at http://nznl.com/ have you visited the October and
November drawings? There are quite good questions there.
- And how do you classify the amazing shape poetry done by David Daniels at
http://www.thegatesofparadise.com/ ? See how creative is Daniels with Word
for Windows and pdf files. I could give much more examples but I think
everybody know a kind of good work which is not programmed.

To conclude I would like to invite you to visit the "angry woman" at:
http://arteonline.arq.br/angry/angry.htm (press F11 to see full screen). It
was done to Jess Loseby's interesting project Angry Woman at
http://www.d-t-p.tv/ . If you ask me, what my angry woman does, I will
reply:

- Nothing but I will embrace her with love because she amuses me and because
I got to ask many interesting questions with a very simple work .

To conclude:

Is it necessary to be an excellent programmer to do good web.art or do we
have many kinds of web.art?

"If a traditional twentieth century model of cultural communication
described movement of information in one direction from a source to a
receiver, nowthe reception point is just a temporary station on
information

Dear all,

I (Regina Pinto) collaborated (a little bit > the image and some other
stuff)
with artist Millie Niss to create News from the Earthquake Zone
(http://www.sporkworld.org/kashmir/) a web-work about the October, 2005
earthquake in Kashmir. This work shows the news from Kashmir in the form of
animated snow falling on a backround image made up of Himalayan scenes and
images of the earthquake victims. The snowflakes each carry a letter, and
spell out sentence fragments describing the situation in the earthquake
zone. The letters blow around, as if subject to the winter's wind, and
slowly fall until they melt into the landscape. The work is entirely in
black-and-white, emphasizing the starkness of the remote mountain region
affected by the earthquake. A soundtrack made up of snatches of Pakistani
and Indian music, combined with wind, weather, and the sounds of the earth
trembling, accompanies the piece. The work is a memorial to the victims, a
tribute to the suffering of the survivors, and a plea to the rest of the
world to contribute to the relief effort. There are links to background
information about Kashmir and the earthquake on the work's title page, and
the main page has a link to the International Committee of the Red Cross,
where viewers can send their donations towartds earthquake relief.

We are waiting for you there (http://www.sporkworld.org/kashmir/) ,
