As one of the first artists to start working on the internet I’m
acutely aware of how the online
environment-language-discourse-semiology is evolving. People are
beginning to talk about Web 2.0 as the next wave of the net.
Meta tagging is a key issue as more information is created for or
migrates to the web. Meta-CC just went on line at: http://meta-cc.net/faq-new.php .
Perpetual Art Machine offers a slightly different take on tagging;
http://perpetualartmachine.com. My own piece RANTAPOD, http://spaghetti.nujus.net/rantapod has a rudimentory, evolving internal tagging system as well.
In the latest RANTAPOD, http://spaghetti.nujus.net/rantapod/
, I’ve used some interesting cut-up techniques. Rob Murphy from
http://post.thing.net says that they are related to William Burroughs
writing methods. I’ve also assembled a glottal language created
by sampling outtakes and clips from my rants. To push rantapod-026
further, I separated the clips at the end of each pause or sentence and
then shuffled them around in the time line.
Art Dirt Redux has been in the top ten of art podcasts for over a year now on idiotvox. http://www.idiotvox.com/Podcasts_About_Art_85.html
Here’s a review by a listener; “Excellent memory-play… Bergson would
have loved this… openings unfolding into polyrational dreamspaces…”
The anonymous review is referring to Henri Bergson http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/bergson.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Bergson
Speaking of web 2.0 my first web art work BKPC http://nujus.net/gh_04/gallery6.html
still gets about 5 visitors a day. I’ve added hi-res scanned
images of some of the photos. This was not possible for the original
client pull animation nor the pre-web presentation on the thing bbs.
