Mark Amerika Grammatron http://www.grammatron.com/ 1997 Hypertext, Narrative, Chance HTML, The project consists of over over 1100 text spaces, 2000 links, 40+ minutes of original soundtrack delivered via Real Audio 3.0, unique hyperlink structures by way of specially-coded Javascripts, a virtual gallery featuring scores of animated and still life images, and more storyworld development than any other narrative created exclusively for the Web. A story about cyberspace, Cabala mysticism, digicash paracurrencies and the evolution of virtual sex in a society afraid to go outside and get in touch with its own nature, GRAMMATRON depicts a near-future world where stories are no longer conceived for book production but are instead created for a more immersive networked-narrative environment that, taking place on the Net, calls into question how a narrative is composed, published and distributed in the age of digital dissemination.

monika bravo b. 1964 FOR THE TIME BEING... http://www.sololab.com 1998 Video, Video camera, FOR THE TIME BEING... was filmed over the course of one year, focusing on the same view of the Brooklyn Bridge as seen from my window. Time alters between stillness and movement as the same image is constantly shifting and flowing from winter to spring, back to snow, or rain stretching the limits of the now and then. A recording of my voice recites verses related to time from the Ecclesiastes.
monika bravo b. 1964 INFINITE HORIZON http://www.sololab.com 2001 Video, Audio, Video camera, Custom hardware, Parting with the idea of the horizon as an illusory junction created from the observer's mind. INFINITE HORIZON, will offer a representational space where moving images of the earth and sky reverse and oppose as the viewer activates a sensor in front of the screen. By placing the spectator betwixt, it will examine his established perception of what is real as the living picture of the world occurs within his mind. Our physical limits are an imaginary conditioning that could require only a virtual representation to present new significant possibilities.http://www.sololab.com/monika_bravo.html
monika bravo b. 1964 LABYRINTHS http://www.sololab.com 2001 Video, Animation, Software Video camera, Custom hardware, The aim is to create a territory where the viewer, along with images and technology plays in a simulated "video game". Pre recorded sequences of personal travels will load everytime the participant activates a sensor, he is encouraged to experience and alter his destination and duration. The sensors activated by movement modify the result of the projected images consequently the artist and player interact between the "recorded" and the "real time". The player becomes a vessel challenging the linearity and position of place and timehttp://www.sololab.com/monika_bravo.html
monika bravo b. 1964 symphasis* simultaneous appearances http://www.sololab.com/monika_bravo.html 2000 Video, Audio, Video camera, symphasis* , questions the viewer's recognition of space by transgressing the physical boundaries of a contained place, that is the gallery, and into one that is purely imaginary yet still contained an aquarium. It melds space and time (both real and recorded) by projecting images of aquatic life into mirrored screens. It appears as if we are circulating in a defined and controlled "life aquarium" unaware that our independent actions are bounded and circumscribed. Experiencing the work invites comparisons between the conditions of the represented subjects, the installation's material production and the spectator/gallery context. Examining whether an electronic, visual sensorium can provide for a discursive site where distance and proximity, the public and the intimate, are co-mingled and revelatory.http://www.sololab.com/symphasis.htmlthe sound for this project was composed by raul rothblatt
monika bravo b. 1964 SYNCHRONICITY http://www.sololab.com/monika_bravo.html 1999 Video, Video camera, Parting from the notion of chance, the observer encounters a set of triple projections of images of circulating boats. Constructed under the scheme of a slot machine, these images frequently correspond and transform at different intervals. It introduces elements of sequencing and repetition, providing a deja vu by playfully jumping from past to future to pausing in the now.
monika bravo b. 1964 TAXIDIA * "the cloudmakers" * "the search" http://www.sololab.com 1997 Video, Video camera, TAXIDIA sets the viewer in a midpoint where physical journeys and the memory of dreams examine if we are really being what we want to be; or just reacting to what institutions (i.e., family, religion, society) want us to be. This is achieved manipulating the speed of both projections. The sense of time is lost in the dream world adverse to the speed that is felt while there is something to be yearned for. http://www.sololab.com/monika_bravo.html
Mez Breeze >di][e][lation ][wo][manifesto http://netwurkerz.de/mez/dielation/dilation1.htm 2001 Abstraction, Animation, Hypertext Mary Anne Breeze, or Mez, as she is known on e-mail discussion lists and sites of fine electronic literature all over the web, has composed a piece which invites interaction and which plays with the traditional structures of language. It intervenes in words, in syllables, morphing and changing words by spatial arrangement, challenging the way we read and at all times engaging us with the thematic concerns of her alphabetic acrobatics."-Komninos Zervos

Mez Breeze _Cutting Spaces_ http://www.hotkey.net.au/~netwurker/cutspace.htm 1995 Hypertext, Telepresence, Browser HTML, .the story is long it reaches far back into bloodbloated pasts and snags it way into a viscous future and mixes cutting blood-let space and fleshtensenarrative (jigsawing). .it has aborted storylines (which?when?where?what to follow?). .jilted meanings and a touch of modem static. .(word processor blurrs into an e-mailed life).
Mez Breeze _datahbabee Vs NarrowBranding_ http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/frame5/mez/tubic1.htm 2000 Minimalism, Browser, Abstraction HTML, _datahbabee Vs Narrow][B][randing_ "...the entry scroll looks like a primal tattoo embedded in the hard wiring of a brain. Intraface with those silky pink lantern lights so sensual, chromosomal, digital--like a neo-primal tapestry. Would make a great weaving. The intraface vs the narrow brande is like being in a cave and you're reading the writing on the walls. Eeerie but somehow reassuring, after all, if it's this beautiful can't be too treacherous." - Christy Sheffield Sandford
Mez Breeze iN-ternal damage report vers 1.1. http://ctheory.concordia.ca/multimedia/dirt/fleshistics/page_1.htm 1997 Hypertext, Narrative, Abstraction HTML, iN-ternal damage report vers 1.1 is devoted to the rhizomatic altering of the psychomedia form/ula - via text/m.mage/form.art/mezangelling.
Reginald Brooks b. 1948 RealSurReal...aClone, 2001 http://www.brooksdesign-cg/Code/Html/netart2.htm 2001 Browser, Humor, Animation HTML, Artificial Intelligence, Get over the horror and come clone with me.Statement: Options, choices, dilemmas. Coincidental with the digital revolution... in which anything and everything that you can see, hear, smell, touch and taste will be digitally commodified and easily reproduced and/or altered...is the genetic revolution. Which in time will reveal the human genome (substitute chimpanzee genome...substitute sheep genome...substitute fruit fly genome...substitute plant genomes) to be the ultimate commodified digital template. Nature clones by definition. We clone for fun. We clone by imitation. Get over the horror and come clone with me.Art Description: Utilizing simple tools found on the computer I have mildly exploited the rollover image effect. The results vary from simple and colorful exchanges to complete and often surreal transformations and their associated meaning(s)...all with a simple hoover, click (or two) and zoom. The future is choice and everyone will need to be an artist/editor.Note: the jig...

Shoshana Cohen HomeSweetHome http://web.macam98.ac.il/%7Eshow/HomeSweetHome/ 1998 HTML, Exploring art on the net, exploring the possibilities of creating and exhibiting art on the net, led me to recognise the homepage as the fundamental and basic form of web publishing. I created a homepage as an attempt to understand the potential of creating art on the net by exploring the basic form of web presence.
Shoshana Cohen Questions - An Artists Kit for Survival http://www.wizocollege.macam98.ac.il/s_art/questions/default.html 1997 HTML, 'Questions' was a result of my frustrations and bewilderment over viewing art on the net, and was an attempt to create some order in what I was experiencing.The site was exhibited in ISEA 1997

Mark Daggett b. 1975 http://www.flavoredthunder.com/index3.html 2001 Abstraction, Software, Java, HTML, The ability to archive every aspect of digital art on the computer has de-emphasized the importance of the ephemeral event. This piece allows the user to develop a composition based on the images that are present on the page housing the link to . The piece is split into four quadrants and each quadrant controls one of four different feedback loops. The feedback loops create a non-archivable performance with the collection of loaded images.
Mark Daggett b. 1975 analysis_engine http://www.flavoredthunder.com/analysis_engine/ 1999 Community, Hypertext, Artificial Intelligence, HTML, Java The nature of psychotherapy is not to categorize people by labeling them with deterministic classifications of illness, but this branding is often the very thing patients desire. These individuals have a very nebulous sense of self and look to the psychologist's "diagnosis" as a concrete incarnation of their identity. Although patients desperately seek definition of identity through a DSM-IV classification, they shun the social stigma sometimes associated with illness. They evade treatment and suffer in silence. The fear of segregation has presumably kept many people from embracing the healing power of therapy. "Analysis_Engine" mimics the format and basic content of a standard therapy session between patient and licensed psychologist.
Mark Daggett b. 1975 Browser Gestures http://www.flavoredthunder.com/dev/browser-gestures/ 2001 Browser, Software, Browser Gestures is an ongoing series of applications that reinterpret what a browser is. Much in the same way that Web Stalker represents the network outside of the well-accepted page metaphor, my browsers reinterpret how browsers normally display and navigate information for the user. In some cases, the browser abstracts the information that is to be displayed by sending the requested page through a feedback loop. In other cases, the browser takes the form of browser's "history": the user must sift through layers of previous pages that have accrued since the browser was opened.
Mark Daggett b. 1975 Trace-Root http://www.flavoredthunder.com/invert/trace-root/ 2000 Telepresence, Hypertext, Community HTML, Perl, Trace-Root is a network-based collaborative mapping project. Trace-Root records the visits of users and presents them as maps. In addition, users can upload images to represent themselves and compose it with other users images. The maps change based on user activity and the frequency with which they visit the work. Once a new map is created, the old map is added to the trace-root movie. The movie is a sequential animation that plays back the individual maps one at a time in the order that they were created. Each map is represented as a single frame in the movie. The movie is available as a separate option linked to the home page of Trace-Root. In the interface, the active user is represented as blue node that animates between an X and a circle. The users are instructed to double click on the node to upload their GIF or JPEG images to the server. They can "shift+click" on a node to load that node's image onto the map. Then they can drag the nodes using the mouse to create a new map....

Joss Deutsch b. 1962 PDA art http://www.geocities.com/immjoss/PDAart 2001 Abstraction, Prototype, 3D Custom hardware, My original artwork (from my youth), as well as the recent artwork is all done on paper, and I haven't really had the time to scan it in to the computer yet. Also, some of the different types of artwork I have done, will probably not come out very well in a computer image scan. But, as every artist, I use a small sketchbook, which I used to carry with me everywhere, and whenever I had an idea for a new drawing I used to sketch it and then when I returned home I used to complete the final drawing based on my original sketch idea. Lately, I have purchased an iPAQ PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). It has a color screen, with a graphic resolution of 240X320 pixels, and data is entered by using a stylus. I downloaded a sketch paint program and started playign with it. I suddenly discovered that this is the best replacement for my original paper sketchbook - it has become my PDS (Personal Digital Sketchbook). I now use it all the time (I carry it with me wherever I go in any case) as a sk...

everything Editorial The London Borough of Cramley http://bak.spc.org/everything/cramley/cramleycentre.html 1996 Hypertext, Narrative, HTML, Cramley is a 'virtual institution'. A parody of the techno-euphoric institutional sites appearing in the UK at the time.
fbwn fbwn.net http://www.fbwn.net 2001 Performance, Animation, Humor HTML, Www.fbwn.net is a placing of devices which, in the same time and space, utilise different modes of diffusion corresponding to the multi-channel nature of our perception of the environment. Introducing a real or virtual environment in which the individual is solicited by different information sources, different injunctions often heterogeneous at the same time. This implies a condition creating new experiences and calling upon new modes of reception, fragmented, juxtaposed, articulating different speeds and intensities. www.fbwn.net is an attempt at the utilisation of shapes in phase with development in contemporary society.
Ken Feingold b. 1952 JCJ-Junkman http://www.kenfeingold.com/jcj1.html 1995 Game, Chance, Humor Shockwave, Database, The website contains a Shockwave mini-version of the full work. All of the "buttons" and sounds in the work were made from files found by robot software on the Internet - debris, more or less - and converted algorithmically in "buttons" or "icons". The choices presented are made significant only by one's ability, or inability, to catch them. The emotion produced is thatany choice will do, and so the work becomes a very peculiar game. Through this coming together of clicking mania and network debris, one finds his speech patterns evoking something like a personality, but since there is no fixed voice, it is something of a meta-personality, a cutup. Its program is driven by approximations of randomness and data cast adrift by others. The original form of the work was a cd-rom which grabbed new buttons from the Internet as the game was played. The published version (in "artintact3", ZKM Karlsruhe, 1996) has been "fossilized" as the game was played up to that point.
Ken Feingold b. 1952 Porncounter http://www.kenfeingold.com/cgi-bin/pcounter.cgi 1996 Algorithmic, Humor, Prototype Database, Perl,

Ken Feingold b. 1952 Seance Box No. 1 http://www.kenfeingold.com/index.html#seance 1998 Robotics, Telepresence, Performance 3D graphics, C/C++, Speech recognition This networked telepuppet performs on its stage at the whim of the one who moves it from a distance, and only this puppet master may speak with the ones from somewhere else. The visitors are seen by this puppet-medium, who learns to be the lens for the desires of the audience as they try to communicate with the ever-listening artificial actor. This agent provocateur floats in the image landscape before them, a speaking fountain given to rhyme, alliteration, and seemingly prophetic speech.
Ken Feingold b. 1952 Self Portrait as the Center of the Universe http://www.kenfeingold.com/feingold/index.html 2001 Telepresence, Robotics, 3D Speech recognition, Artificial Intelligence, Video camera Not only possessed of the ability to understand speech, this animatronic head and his puppet companions transmit sightings of the agent provocateur adrift before them, and their endless conversations. These conversations, bridging real and virtual spaces, are within scenes which recompose themselves, populated by figures - autonomous "software agents" - which appear in the projected image-world that fills his vision. Other characters, who temporarily "get into his head"", are able to gain entry to his subjective experience via a website.
Ken Feingold b. 1952 where i can see my house from here so we are http://www.kenfeingold.com/index.html#where_i 1993 Robotics, Telepresence, Prototype Custom hardware, C/C++, Video camera Three small robot-puppets, each with a video camera-eye, and microphone ears, are together in a mirrored space. Each robot-puppet is connected, via the Internet, to another space, elsewhere, in which their sight and hearing is seen and heard by a distant viewer-ventriloquist as projected video and amplified sound. In each remote space, there is a control device, consisting visibly of an opened attach -case like object, revealing a joystick and a microphone. Utilizing the resources and tools of the Internet's Mbone and remote-control software I have put together, the viewer-ventriloquist may drive around the robot-puppet to which they are connected in the mirrored space, and when the remote viewer-ventriloquist speaks, their voice is "projected" through the robot-puppet, amplified within it, and moves the robot-puppet's mouth.

Glorious Ninth Who_Owns_Them_Controls http://www.gloriousninth.com/who_owns_them_controls.html 2001 Politics, Abstraction, Activism Shockwave, HTML, This piece explores the relationship between ownership and control within the context of interactive digital art. It questions the extent to which artists own or control their works, and equally the extent to which users/participants own or control their interaction. We have constructed this piece by controlling the elements it contains; their forms and the parameters within which they interact with each other. But as the piece is programmed in such a way that it continuously changes, we have only limited control over its evolution. The users are required to choose between having control over the word 'themselves'or listening to uninterrupted sound.

It's an art work whose subject is the process of proposing an art work to a museum or gallery. It also speaks to the art world mechanisms of magazine & catalog publication. When Rauschenberg erased a Dekooning drawing he signaled a shift away from Expressionism. When I executed Faux Conceptual Art I signaled an end to both Conceptual Art and Appropriation Art.

The distinct films, like an alphabet, await computation and inflection: they can be juxtaposed as the viewer sees fit; and they can be manipulated their size increased or decreased, their shape altered, they can be sped up or down. The user becomes the speaker, if you will, of this visual dialect.

Marc Lafia b. 1955 HyperHyper http://www.artandculture.com 1997 Hypertext, Minimalism, Abstraction Java, HTML, HyperHyper is a visual essay about the spatialness of a writing reading experience in a computational hypertextual platform. It plays in and out of the spaces of meaning and sense. One could say that meaning relies on depth while sense is a surface phenomenon. In the new space of computation, language is ever more clearly virus, a contamination, but also as a typography, a visual force, a playground, a plaything, a place of discovery, of creation: a metabolic function doing its thing. This visual and graphic essay explores this new space of reading-writing while curating practices and reflections of the word at the same time.

Simultaneity, juxtaposition, the world in its all-at-onceness, the world clock is a polyoptic viewfinder amplifying the many properties of the time-world network and the web. At once active and passive, the World Clock pushes the world while acting as a surfboard, a navigational interface: the metabolic function of the world.

It is important that my work imagine this information-flow through disparate junctions, nodes and systems online and offline. For me the success of a net.art requires that the work acts as a carrier of information and does in fact "take other forms," attain movement and then dwell beyond its initializing sequence. "A Contemporary American Work of Art In Progress" is an internet portal of sorts that encourages the "consuming" of art-engendered thus recombinant commercial products. When I released this work, I felt optimistic that the information was restless enough to attain a certain continuity or life of its own but I was not sure the ways that information might be re-configured. One encouraging instance was in the form of revenue. "A Contemporary American Work of Art In Progress" incorporates an online "storefront" (amongst other co...

Sonya Rapoport BRUTAL MYTHS http://www.lanminds.com/local/sr/brutal/index.html 1996 Hypertext, Activism, Humor HTML, The project follows an outline inspired by the sadistic fantasies about women found in the Malleus Maleficarum, a manual for witch-hunting written in the XVth century.Because women were traditionally the lay healers in ancient herbal medicinal practice, herbs are used as a metaphoric interface. The first half of "Brutal Myths" describes which 'evil' herbs contaminate the minds of men into believing the Malleus Malificarum dictums.

Myron Turner Animal Locomotion http://www.mbvan.org/mbvan/proj/muybr/ 1998 Algorithmic, Hypertext, C/C++, Perl, Java Animal Locomotion" is a multi-layered reprocessing of images from Muybridge's and Thomas Eakins' photographs of humans and animals in motion. It starts with drawings made from the photos which are then reprocessed by image manipulation software triggered by viewer interaction. The pages which come up when the viewer comes to the site are in the state at which the last viewer left off--so emphasizing that we always enter into the midst of a process over which we have only limited control. The choice of these images by Muybridge and Eakins is placed in a context which raises questions about the way art objectifies its subjects: so, too, do the life processes in which we find ourselves immersed seem to objectify us.

Marek Walczak, Helen Thorington, Jesse Gilbert Adrift http://www.turbulence.org/adrift 1997 3D, Performance, Audio 3D graphics, Java, HTML ADRIFT is an evolving Internet performance event that is streamed live from multiple locations to audiences on the Internet and in separate geographical locations.The work of the three artists: composer Jesse Gilbert; writer, composer Helen Thorington; and architect Marek Walczak, ADRIFT involves the interplay of three environments -- text, sound and vrml or 3-D graphics.The content focus of the work is a harbor, a city and the human body. As the three artists and their computers pass information back and forth in real time, an interaction between the senses, and between the geographies, scales, and narratives represented in the work is created. The fluid perceptions and the multiple intersecting journeys they suggest lie at the heart of this networked performance.
