Where Are You From?
http://www.nette.ca/where

Synopsis: Jeannette Lambert's \"Where are you from? is a conceptual web art project that combines internet films with hypertext web pages. The small screen size of an internet film is suggestive of peeping through a keyhole, a kind of cyberspace voyeurism. The abstract movement created by streaming video compression is reminiscent of the ethereal quality of memory and dreams. These internet films explore concepts of space (private/public), geography, heredity and identity within virtual worlds. Here are three answers to the question of the title, at once autobiographical, impressionistic and lyrical.

Visual Caos
http://www.visualchaos.org

Synopsis:Visual Chaos is a short web work that that explores the idea of chaos on the web. In Visual Chaos I created a number of moving windows, as well as windows that appeared in specific places on the screen. I wanted there to be a screen filled with little windows, all doing there own thing. I also used a clickable list to create a poem. Each word is a link that opens a new window. You can read the poem a number of ways. Contained within Visual Chaos are a number of flash movies that use historical images of Los Angeles as source material adding current images and texts as animations to explore the relationship between the past and the present, as well as the ancient, the modern and the future city.

Visual Chaos uses the space of the web as a sculptural space, allowing viewers to interact with animated graphics to delve deeper and deeper into an imaginary city. The images are culled from various print media sources. The texts are either found passages from urban theory or specifically written poetic musings on the city. The site explores ideas relating to an abstracted idea of the city. The images depict shadows and bodies. It explores the ideas of being swallowed by the city. In Visual Chaos I explore grids as a metaphor for the many different paths one can journey down in the modern city. One of the things I am interested in is to counter the use of the web as a source for information.

Synopsis: This piece allows users to compose a jumbled picture of my faces from when I was a little kid to the present. Using the mouse, you can create a dynamic collage of my faces.
The theme of the project was to juxtapose a view of yourself before you knew about computers to after you\'ve used computers. The screen on the left allows users to create a composite of my faces when I was young while their movements are tracked and mirrored onto the right side of the screen. The Brother/Sister version combines both faces into one and lets you create hybrid out of me and my sister.

Juliana Sato Yamashita

Biography: My name is Juliana Sato Yamashita: I was born in Sao Paulo state, in 1978. I entered the School of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Sao Paulo in 1996, but very early decided to work with graphic and web design. After taking a Brazilian fellowship to study history of art, and a summer course at Parsons School of Design (NYC), my interest in web art and web design grew. \"Urban Fragments\", my final undergraduate project, is the result of my interests in architecture, urbanism and new media. Since the beginning of this year I\'ve been working on different versions of \"Urban Fragments\", using sound and video. The video version was recently selected to the \"Minute Festival\" (internet category), and the website version of \"Urban Fragments\" was selected to the \"13th Videobrasil\", (new media category)

Synopsis: Urban Fragments was made after my final undergraduate project for the School of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of S"o Paulo. The main purpose of this web site is to help the user to construct new ways of seeing the city of S"o Paulo through verses of Fernando Pessoa, multimedia and interactivity. By the users interaction, different combinations of images, sounds and texts are made to question the stereotype images of the city, and help the user to experience it as an eternal discovery. The idea is to stimulate the user to play as a poet, both verbally and visually, and reflect about the city of São Paulo, trying to create a more personal involvement with it.

3IP
http://3.o-o.lt

Synopsis: 3IP was being developed as a project for the IP addresses to three dimensional shapes conversion. The aim is to create and visualize digitally distorted mirror space of the internet numbering system, machine to machine and human to machine connections. Where abstract numbers obtain organic outlook. IP address is being taken as a seed for the iteration, translation and size.
L-system algorithm generates the result in VRML format.
In this way machine to machine (M2M) interaction is being used. The script gets data from the connected machine and generates the result. It is possible to generate the shapes by inputs to the modeller prototype[projector] as well. Generated 3D files are stored on the server in a database for preview purposes. Both ways of image generation are non-intuitive, so results are unexpected and hardly predictable.

DeskSwap
http://www.deskSwap.com

Synopsis: DeskSwap is a multi-user screensaver that swaps images of the user\'s desktop with others using the screensaver. When the user stops using their computer, DeskSwap starts as a normal screensaver. It quickly takes a snapshot of the user\'s screen and uploads it to the DeskSwap server. Yet since screensavers only become active during periods of inactivity, DeskSwap catches candid images of the user\'s desktop.
DeskSwap has two modes for swapping desktops. Mode one is a direct \"peer to peer\" connection where two users exchange desktops only with each other. In this mode the two users are aware that they are simultaneously exchanging images with each other. The second mode is a \"round robin\" connection where several users will exchange their images as a group, cycling through desktops one after another. In this mode users are not exchanging images directly, rather they exchange as a group.

Michael Mandiberg

Biography: Michael Mandiberg is a conceptual artist who uses the net to explore identity, labor, and commerce. His most recent project, the twin sites AfterWalkerEvans.com and AfterSherrieLevine.com are a new media response to Sherrie Levine\'s mechanical works of art in our age of digital reproduction. The site contains hi-resolution images for download, complete with certificates of authenticity to be signed by the user. His ongoing Project, Shop Mandiberg (www.Mandiberg.com), is a fully functional e-commerce web site that markets and sells every last one of his personal possessions. Shop Mandiberg was recently nominated as a finalist for the \\\\international media\\art award 2001 at the ZKM. He is represented by the Michele Thursz Gallery in New York.

Synopsis: In 1936, Walker Evans photographed the Burroughs, a family of sharecroppers in Depression era Alabama. In 1979, Sherrie Levine rephotographed Walker Evans\' photographs from the monograph First and Last. In 2001, Michael Mandiberg scanned these same photographs, publishing them on the Web sites AfterWalkerEvans.com and AfterSherrieLevine.com ó virtual galleries designed to facilitate the dissemination of these images as part of a commentary on how we arrive at information in this burgeoning digital age.

On AfterWalkerEvans.com you will find a browsable selection of these images, links to the high-resolution exhibition-quality images available for download and print-out, along with a certificate of authenticity for each image (that you print out and sign yourself) and, finally, directions on how to frame the image so that it will fulfill the requirements of the certificate.

By making the image\'s URL its title ó the image above is Untitled (AfterWalkerEvans.com/1.jpg) ó the images can be easily located and downloaded by anyone. By distributing the images online with certificates of authenticity, the images can be owned by anyone. Unlike the work of the late Felix Gonzalez-Torres ó known for his spills of candy and stacks of paper from which the viewer can take a piece ó Mandiberg\'s certificates are used to insure that each satellite image be considered equally authentic. In the work of Gonzalez-Torres the sole certificate of authenticity, and thus, the right to reproduce the work, is sold like a traditional art object. Mandiberg\'s work assumes an explicit strategy to create a physical object with cultural value, but little or no economic value.

Synopsis: \'paintingXnumbers\' was commissioned
by epping forest arts
uk as a pilot project combining digital and community arts.
Annie and Mike worked with four young people
from the London area to create four digital \'portraits\' ,
half way between portrait and self portrait.
The piece is unapologetically traditional in that
it attempts to use digital /web technology to create
a humanisitic piece of work celebrating
the lives of four ordinary people.
Nevertheless it also makes use of the technology
to do things previously impossible- the two pieces
called \'opera\' feature generative pieces of music
which are never identical on two listenings.
They also feature stuff about Leyton Orient football club,
a first in net art circles.

Synopsis: Agreing with Deleuze, the revolution of simulacrum is to introduce a break in the ontologicals classicals distinctions between essence and appearance, original and copy , true and false, natural and artificial.

At BIOevents, organics shapes in a latent state, remains in the webspace until carried by an interactor intervention, put in action an image poetic-visual repertory, which exists like dinamics entities in constantly metamorphosis. Flow from manipulation, their beauty rely in their morphogenesis: the viewer becomes co-creator.

BIO prefix which means life, is the main subject where scripts which simulate it were developed around. Organisms react in an enviroment in real time, the main catalyst ( the events produced by the mouse cursor as participant representation) is the outbreak of the work course.

Diferents living beings are identified by their own characteristics; even an external factor modifies some of them: the flow of time, constantly changes their color through the day making a kind of mixed reality between the web and physical space, highlighting a virtual reality illusion on the viewers, debating the bounds between the natural and the artificial.
