Reminder!

Matrix. It all is about a code structure. Deja vu is a system false.



In mathematics and computer science, a matrix is a set of numbers laid out in tabular form (in rows and columns). From this meaning, a less formal meaning is derived of a complex of lines intersecting at right angles...In cyberculture, the Internet and other networks that flow into it are altogether sometimes called "the matrix." In Neuromancer," the matrix" is a vast sea of computing resources that can be visualized by the user, is accessible at many levels, and is lit up more intensely in the areas of greatest activity. The hero, Case, "jacks in" to the matrix through wiring that is (perhaps, since it's not entirely clear) integrated with his brain and explores the matrix with a "deck" or computer console that provides a holographic view. whatis.techtarget.com

Alexei Shulgin.................algs' structuring form


"Form Art", 1997.

A project consisting entirely of HTML codes, with metaframes (formative elements) slipping in as part of the contents. Shulgin launched the Form Art competition with this work and the hints at a new art movement implied. http://www.ntticc.or.jp

Baily, Corby & Mackenzie .... kind of there

Gavin Baily, Tom Corby and Jonathan Mackenzie have been working together for over 10 years, through an art practice that explores the intersections of complex systems, technology and information. 

Tom Corby, Die Text, 2005
die.txt is a bio-engineered text editor. As the user types, individual words spawn outgrowths of alternative meanings and definitions. These metonyms are sucked from Wordnet, a lexical reference system developed by Princeton University.
Using a metaphor derived from medical research into skin-cancer simulations, the letter forms are generated by 'cellular growth', each character having a particular cell-division encoding. The sentences of newly created metonyms grow 'cancerously' from cells in the original text.





Reconnoitre, 1997-1999
Reconnoitre was part of a series of works concerned with our experience of the network as a bizarre_scape; an environment with a high metabolism whose boundaries are continuously re-shaped; accreting and thickening under the influence of powerful social and commercial forces.
While Reconnoitre can be considered as a browser in that it allows the user to search for and access web sites, it is less concerned with the coherent display of information as with representing browsing as a behavioural activity.
Probably best described as a dysfunctional browser it seeks to enunciate our consumption of information as a journey of surprise, that seeks to reinstate the pleasure of browsing as technologically experienced dérive (drift) in its own right -an ambient grazing of text.

NEEN



A Few Things I Know about Neen

Neen stands for Neenstars: a still-undefined generation of visual artists. Some of them belong to the contemporary art world; others are software creators, web designers, and video game directors or animators.

Our official theories about reality—quantum physics, etc.—proved that the taste of our life is the taste of a simulation. Machines help us feel comfortable with this condition: they simulate the simulation we call Nature. Opening the door of your room or clicking on a folder on your computer's desktop will send you to similar destinations—two versions of reality that are seemingly perfect and dense, but they will start dissolving after you analyze them.

Computing is to Neen as what fantasy was to surrealism and freedom to communism. It creates its context, but it can also be postponed. Neenstars buy the newest products and they study how to create momentum. They glorify machines, but they get easily bored with them. Sometimes they prefer just watching others operating them. Neenstars find their pleasure in the in-between actions. Neen is about losing time on different operating systems.

If fantasy brought surrealists to the ridiculous and revolution drove communists to failure, it will be curious to observe where computing will bring Neen.
