I have heard that name... he co-edited a really useful anthology called"Multimedia: from Wagner to Virtual Reality" . all yer old faves- billy kuyper(?) vannevar Bush, the palo alto Xerox PARC people, roy ascott etc .
here's an extension of the idea of network which I find really interesting..... "Art Resaux's 'Connect' was led by group member Gilberto Prado and is typical of their approach. Several international locations are linked via fax connections, each location having two fax machines, one receiving, the other sending. The two machines are linked by a single roll of paper which constantly emerges from the receiver and tracks down a long table before being consumed by the sending system. While on the table, participants add to the content with drawing materials and collage. The piece is a complete loop which simultaneously connects all participants regardless of the geographical location. The long fax 'scrolls' that emerged were exhibited at the Art Reseaux exhibition at the Gallerie Bernanos in Paris in April 1992. Each long scroll was suspended from the ceiling forcing the viewer to walk along below and stare upward as they walked." from,"Networks and Artworks: the failure of the user friendly interface" by Paul Brown, in Intelligent Tutoring Media October 1996 I like the use of the network with the idea of a real time real place and real people. In fact I'm quite interested in the possibilities of taking developments in real-time image transmission and producing something like a japanese panoramic scroll of a real-time journey... watch this space. anyone interested in the ghost of Albert Hitchcock and the net as used by Lars von Trier might like to go to teenage airshow on my web pages and scroll around till you get to the Sabena logo... regards from Gair ------------------------------ >From: "Chris Bowman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: <ambit> net art et al >Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 18:58:02 -0000 > >www.usdept-arttech.net ... > >Net Art as political satire ?
