Simon will be talking to director Taylor Nuttall about the recent project 'endless_endless' featured as part of edit / copy / paste on the www.unencoded.co.uk web site. A feature of edit / copy / paste project is that the original source code for the project is available to others - in the case of endless_endless al the source files contain the PHP and Java code required to create and present an 'endless_endless' nonstream work. ============================ endless_endless we were interested in how slow and fragmented the experience of watching a film online could be the RTSP protocol attempts to maintain the linear, continuous, time structure of film and tv over the asynchronous time structure of the internet endless_endless [rfc2326] is an attempt to 'stream' a film using the conventional, almost 'old-school', HTTP protocol each time the film's URL is accessed, a new frame from the film is displayed [hit on 'reload' or the 'frame' link to retrieve the next frame] the asynchronous pattern of HTTP interferes with the linear film-time the more people access the film at the same time, the more fragmented the film structure will become - the discontinuous spatial structure of the web disrupting the continuous temporal structure of film time the image itself is constructed from the text of the Request For Comments #2326, the original outline of the RTSP protocol the letters of the text are coloured according to the pixels of the source image http://www.slateford.org/ =========================== Taylor Nuttall Director Folly 26 Castle Park Lancaster LA1 1YQ 01524 388550 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.folly.co.uk ==================== >>>current exhibition - UCLAN BA (Hons) Photography web3Dart.org ====================================================== < Unencoded > - a discussion forum for exploring the creative use of new media.
