Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
Hide and Seek exhibition
February 16 – March 12 & June 1 – 25

Mark Jeffery and Judd Morrissey

The Living Newspapers is a live installation consisting of pairs of ‘museum visitors’ seemingly engaged in pedestrian conversation. These conversations are actually comprised of real-time data harvested from the social networking environment, Twitter. The performers in The Living Newspapers act as subtle embodiments of the collective voice of social discourse.

Simply thought I would share a recent interview with me in an art and design blog.
Not sure if my thoughts illuminate or muddy the digital poetry waters, but I would be ever interested in your thoughts all the same.  Oh and please do leave a comment on their site, just to let them know that [...]

I’ve been working on a new Javascript app to display images on the net. If you’ve seen any of the previous dbCinema slideshows, you may recall they didn’t have fade in/out of the images. I was finally motivated to make that sort of app. The motivation was not for the dbCinema images, but for some [...]

This is a really beautiful–both to read and see–but simple project that I came across recently. Certainly an example of how people working in an “art” or “book” context — this was published by Information as Material in the UK — crosses over with the interests of electronic literature people.
Playing with this PDF kind [...]

I’ve been working on a new Javascript engine for displaying graphics on the net. If you’ve seen any of the dbCinema slideshows, you may recall they didn’t have fade in/out. Well I was finally motivated to create this feature. Not so much for the dbCinema images as for something else which I’ll post when it’s [...]

A city of the mind–your mind. London Hypotrochoid does a Google image search of “London” and downloads 100 images larger than 800×600. And proceeds to paint the town. Or parts thereof.
If you use a Mac, you need to use Firefox for London Hypotrochoid. Requires the Shockwave plugin from http://vispo.com/sw . Best viewed as [...]

Brian Stefans What’s the name of the Ashbery essay in Reported Sightings in which he talks about the artist who left an art opening in tears, muttering the words “He stole my burnt dolls”? Could you type out the passage for me?
          Willa Carroll and Sarah Sarai like this.
Brian Stefans is still recovering from [...]

This is my Christmas present to you and my news of now. If you ask how it is for me, I can only answer with this. It is my pome for a new Vancouver of the mind. Soon I shall be o’ercome with Olympic music and stupefying acts of heroism in Vancouver. This is [...]

Here’s a new one from webyarns.com:
“Archetypal Africa” takes a look at common objects in everyday life,
and their symbolic resonance within myth and culture. The piece plays
with fact and fiction as it leads the user toward an opportunity to
define their own archetypal moment….
You can read the story at http://www.ArchetypalAfrica.com
Also, Brainstrips (a three-part knowledge series) is now [...]

Nick Montfort and I are working with a designer to develop a coffee-table photo book version of Implementation, the sticker novel we published in 2004-2005. Originally, most of the photos submitted were of a resolution only suitable for the Web. We are currently looking for readers to help re-implement Implementation and to send in higher [...]

GUESS THE HALLUCINATION
I’ve been developing the text nib in dbCinema, the graphic synthesizer/langu(im)age processor I’m writing. And produced the above series of 256 images (1100×900) with it.
For five revelations per second, can you tell me the search term used to fetch the pictures from the Internet used in this series?
I also wrote an essay on [...]
