Virta-Flaneurazine (VF) is a potent programmable mood-changing drug for Second Life (SL). It is identified as part of the Wanderment family of psychotropic drugs because it automatically causes the user to aimlessly roam the distant lands of online 3D worlds. As the prograchemistry takes effect, users find themselves erratically teleporting to random locations, behaving strangely, seeing digephemera and walking or flying in circuitous paths. Many users report the experience allows them to see SL in a renewed light, as somehow reconfigured outside the everyday limitations of a fast growing grid of virtual investment properties. VF derives from a formula which the authors of this study, Dr* JC Freeman and Dr* WD Pappenheimer, synthesized some time ago. The clinical study will include an exhibition that dispenses and evaluates the drug for volunteer subjects. The installation includes a comfortable multi-position mechanical chair, exam area, a waiting room and live SL projection screens for patient and public viewing.

This splash page was made around year 2000. There was another one at some point on the Rhizome website (if I am not wrong...) and it can be still seen here: http://www.czas.free.art.pl/chrono/04.html I really like a very minimal net art and simple ideas. The idea of splash page is appealing to me and I still have one on my old website.

A splash page I made for rhizome back in the day.

Osiris is a simple gif animation evolved from previous analog and digital works.

WikiWeb is a live, graphic visualization of Wikipedia designed and coded by Anthony Mattox using Processing. The project began in September of 2008, reconsidering how we browse the web, the project creates a visual representation which is not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing. Wikipedia is an appropriate subject as it is a celebration of our knowledge as a global community, and presents that information in a structure of both unbounded complexity and interconnectedness. This structure, invisible to the casual browser, is represented directly with this program. While the piece may have lofty artistic goals, it???s mostly just supposed to be fun. Wikipedia is one of the 21st centuries greatest emerging pastimes, this is just a new way to meander around in cyberspace.

Marketscape is an experimental data visualization of the S&P500 index, representing daily market activity as a virtual data artifact. It depicts index constituents as individual volumes, reflecting price change through height of extrusion and color, as well as trade volume through size. Following a one-dimensional tabular format, constituents are arranged based on price???the trajectory from minimum to maximum price indicated by a white vector. Clicking on a constituent isolates it along with other constituents related by industry.

All Horizons is based on a selection of 150 photographs taken by 127 individuals under a Creative Commons license. I was interested in selecting material that made the horizon the subject of the image. The photographs are ordered serially to form a narrative describing a single, archetypal gesture--told through the lenses of independent agents, brought together by means of a single, external objective and curatorial intent. By treating the horizon as a constant, the work comments on the universally shared perception and experience of space, across cultures and locations, and reflects on how our individual experience at all times is part of a larger continuum.

'I am not, served by' but I can lead you to rhizome. Splash page with visitor contributions for Rhizome.org. Using the domain name of the visitors server to influence the text lay-out. (perl) 2001. One of my first collective writing pieces, using forms, perl and constraints. In fact it was the second. The first one was called "I am a computer". I have a trace of this piece online but it has been rewritten in php. http://bram.org/scripts/iam.php "I am not, served by" is also about namesdropping. (ironical, maybe even cynical, but also playfull)

Sound that builds up colorful layers to create a final composition.

Interactive video (video camera, lightbulb, display, custom software, computer, excerpts from the film Alphaville, directed by Jean-Luc Godard) This piece includes 3 excerpts from the Godard film Alphaville, which imagines a world controlled by an evil computer named Alpha 60. The viewer stands in front of a hanging light bulb, reflecting the action onscreen. As the viewer moves the light bulb, the action is replaced by 2 other short excerpts from the film. The light bulb element exists in multiple ways: as a physical object, as an optical interface, as a reflection on the screen, as part of the content of the film excerpt, and as a mask cutting through the layers of imagery.

IX is a magical talisman/cube actively developed by the H3X3N computer witchcraft club since 2007. The cube has the ability to enchant or bewitch computers through a potent but unpredictable combination of hacker exploits, stage magic and cybersexual witchcraft. At the Interactivos? exhibition at the Media Lab Madrid, the first IX cube was constructed across continents by hackers in Chicago and Madrid. The cube was installed in a gallery setting, in front of three computers. Viewers were invited to use the cube to enchant the computers, which were running the three most popular computer operating systems: Windows XP, MacOSX and Ubuntu Linux. In 2008, IX was installed at DEADTECH, an art and technology center and gallery in Chicago, in an expanded and restructured version with additional stage magic flourishes around a high-tech pagan altar. The software that powers the cube's spells was retooled to accommodate any Operating System conceivable, even speculative or fictional ones. IX knows 9 spells: 1. 0N: turns computer on 2. 4W4Y: restarts computer 3. data_disappear: makes data disappear 4. 3T3RN4L_R3TURN: makes data reappear 5. 54W: cuts the operating system in half 6. R881X0R: runs the rabbit virus 7. M461C14NZ_H4T: catches the rabbit virus in the magician's hat 8. T3H_0RD3R_0F_0RD3R: creates order + nonsense 9. CH405_M4J1K: creates chaos + sense These spells materialize in different ways in each installation of IX. For example, the 'ON' spell summoned a variety of ASCII-art porno gods in the Interactivos? installation in 2007; at DEADTECH in 2008 it summoned the H3X3N4T0R, an extra-gendered hypnotist/succubus.

The surveillance camera, being used to monitor public space, was hijacked in a city of Ljubljana. On location, where the CCTV camera had been disabled, the author left a mark- the word ???Panopticon???, which pointed to the meaning of the action. Camera and documentation of the intervention were exhibited in a Gallery in Ljubljana after the event. The action was illegal. ???InterceptionExtended??? is a continuation of ???Interception I??? and ???Interception II??? projects.

"The world is my idea": this is a truth which holds good for everything that lives and knows, though man alone can bring it into reflective and abstract consciousness." Arthur Schopenhauer from "The world as will and representation" Since ancient times cartography has been used to describe the world as a geometric ensemble of measurable points, lines, areas and data-labels on a plane. While the world slowly fades away in an increasingly multiplication of self-representations, the map making process - missing its real reference - becomes nothing more than an empty-meaning abstract practice: so, what do all those maps stand now for? In order to disclose this contradiction - or just to give a paradoxical point of view about it - the imaginary art-group Les Liens Invisibles has explored the world along its self-referential techno-linguistic layers, moving through its hidden mechanisms and forcing the grammar of its public-released API code. Commissioned by LX 2.0 - a project by Lisboa 20 Arte Contemporanea and curated by Luis Silva - Google Is Not The Map (GISNTM) is a collection of over 35 GeoPoeMaps, a series of works in which ordinary maps become the unusual surfaces used to disarticulate the perception of the world, to trace new routes across the boundaries and to draw new imaginary geometries of the possible.

The Infome Imager is a software for creating visualizations of the World Wide Web. The software allows the user to create ???crawlers??? (software robots, which could be thought of as automated Web browsers) that gather data from the Web, and it provides methods for visualizing the collected data. Some of the functionality of the Infome Imager software is similar to a search engine such as Google, but with some significant differences. Those differences shifts the software???s functionality from being merely a tool for finding information on the Web to an art project which is generating new understandings of the Web. The Infome Imager crawler collects ???behind the scenes??? data such as the length of a page, when a page was created, what network the page resides on, the colors used in a page and other design elements of a page etc. It scratches on the surface and glances down into the subconscious of the Web in hopes to reveal its inherent structure, in order to create new understandings of its technical, aesthetic and political functionalities.

ElectricityComesFromAnotherPlanet.com is a website inspired by the movie Tron. A neon landscape, like a childish drawing, where two figures play with a ball. The ball is the sun, the figures are just two perspective lines. From the beginning I wanted this piece to be romantic in an abstract way and a bit hypnotic, like time stands still for a little bit. This piece is interactive and has sound and can be seen on http://www.electricitycomesfromanotherplanet.com

Happy Endings Never End
