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. |

Lew Baldwin | Redsmoke | http://www.redsmoke.com | 1995 | Collage, Narrative, Audio | Flash, HTML, | Lew Baldwin launched Redsmoke in 1995 as a vehicle for a fictitious rock band, but says it "quickly evolved into a depository for the subconscious." The content includes "Platters," an episodic story begun in 1997, about a man who finds evidence of an escaped "programmed" human worker. The narrative unfolds through textless animation, using Flash, a software program that requires no interaction from the viewer. A soundtrack of electronic music, composed by Baldwin, accompanies the animation. |

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 |

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).

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 | 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.

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. |

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 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. |

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.

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. |
