[19990221] Linux. Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. Linux is an independent POSIX implementation and includes true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, proper memory management, TCP/IP networking, and other features consistent with Unix-type systems. Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone.
[19990226] Heath Bunting's Homepage. Projects by "retired" artist Heath Bunting and articles related to the site. At least 20 collaborative projects on this site.
[19990317] (20011112: file not found) Collaborative narrative (exchange of letters between lawyers and the artist) triggered by http://www.irational.com/tm/clubcard.
[19990319] June Houston's GhostWatcher. The mother of Webcam art. Collaborative and so much more.
[19990208] GRAPHIC JAM CREATES VISUAL JAZZ ON THE WEB
GraphicJam, a web artwork by digital artists Andy Deck and Mark Napier, connects visitors into a live, online collaborative drawing. A collage of creative impulses, GraphicJam is a live mix of doodles, drawings and color created entirely by those who visit the web site. Hosted by THE THING, the project officially opens on February 8, at http://bbs.thing.net [projects].
Like live music, GraphicJam unfolds over time as participants interact with the site and with each other. Visitors can draw and paint, choosing from a rich set of drawing tools and thousands of colors, easily adding their own marks to an ongoing graphical artwork. Or they can watch designs unfold in their browser window as other visitors draw.
GraphicJam is inspired by the spontaneous energy and contrasting aesthetics of the web. Like the improvised creations of live jazz, GraphicJam synthesizes the contributions of many people into one flowing, evolving design. It is a place on the web where anyone can add their creative impulse to the mix.
Andy Deck specializes in digital drawing and morphing. Over nine years he has developed drawing software, focusing on collaborative art programs, viewable at his website http://andyland.net. Recently, his writing for "Museums and the Web 99," has addressed the transformation of media and the prospects for networked, independent artists. Mark Napier has been making art for the web since 1995. He is creator of http://potatoland.org, a conceptual net art studio that includes The Digital Landfill, a public repository for digital debris, and The Shredder, a browser that turns web pages into graphical confetti.
[19990223] Mining Reflections is a collaborative net-space project by Jeannette Lambert in Montreal, Canada and Raquel Rivera in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Mining Reflections is an exploration of meaning, attachment and reaction. Raquel Rivera in Malaysia sent seven core images/ideas via e-mail to Jeannette Lambert in Canada. At same time Jeannette sent seven images of her own to Raquel. After this exchange of original artwork, each artist then "reflected" the works she had received - like a shop window, or a shadow; or like a database user, searching values and meaning... also like a miner digging for elements, or an archeologist trying to unearth an interpretation or two...
[19990227] Metaorigines by Reynald Drouhin.
[19991204] I am bored of everything. Desperately needing new inspirations. Alexei Shulgin.
[19991116] collaborative.digital.image.mutations by Corey Eiseman and partners. [interview]
[19991119] Mouchette. You may not be able to do much against progeria but you still can visit LITTLE FLY at http://www.mouchette.org and -most important- send her a message to show her your solidarity in this terrible trial.
[19990122] Say The Same Thing by Jenny McCarthy.
[19991022] Communimage by casqueiro atlantico laboratorio cultural (calc).
By joining pictures together and adding new pictures, a common picture will take shape. Have a look around in communimage and choose the space where you would like to place your picture.
It is very simple and self-explanatory! communimage will guide you.
Other facets of this picture of a thousand pictures will also be visible as time goes on. Which ones? We will notify you by e-mail and you will be able to discover them. We will also tell you when you have a new "picture neighbor". That way, the two of you can continue building together. This will allow you, as time goes on, to meet more and more of the people contributing to communimage.
When Expo.01 begins in May 2001, communimage will leave the internet and
enter the real world! The means and the place remain to be determined, and
you will hear about it through e-mail.
[19990202] Ex-voto by Pascale Malaterre
Une action artistique qui réunit des témoignages, remerciements, souhaits rendus publics sur la Toile à Travers le Monde dans la tradition historique des ex-voto religieux.
[19990122] Bumper Stickers Poems by Jenny McCarthy.
[19990226] The Synergy projects on SITO are all attempts at bringing visualists together to create something they could never have created solo. Using the force of the Net to muscle delicate abstractions into existence. The Synergy spirit is hardcore, professional and to-the-point. A little too clean but technically noteworthy.
HyGrid. Purely hyperdimensional artpiece made up of visually interlocking squares. Toroidal moebius loops abound. This on-going artscape was designated one of the top three web art projects in the world by Prix Ars Electronica in 1996.
[19990226] Some examples of collaborative writing include Dark Lethe http://www.innotts.co.uk/~leo a collaborative novel edited by L. J. Winson. Dark Lethe has a virtual reality setting, a mailing list for writers to discuss what happens next and forms for non-group members to submit possible continuations for story-lines, which Winson will then choose from. The Web site includes a character database so that new writers can understand the backgrounds of the participants and not have to read the entire story (although they are encouraged to read the entire thread).
[19990226] While Dark Lethe is for adults, The Never Ending Tale http://www.coder.com/creations/tale is made for and by kids. Aimed at 8 14 year olds, the stories are multiple choice choose your own adventure style with one difference: if you dont like one of the endings available, you are encouraged to add your own. The worlds available at the moment include Space Station Delta, a 450 page nightmare of being stuck in space with your folks; the Haunted Castle, a medieval mystery adventure and a fantasy comedy story.
[19990226] It's not all just for fun though: InterNovel http://www.primenet.com/novel runs ongoing collaborative works which can actually result in physical publication and royalties. In this case, the story itself is designed to be a linear narrative, just like ?regular fiction. A professional writer is paid to create a first chapter and characters of a romance novel, murder mystery or suspense novel. Each subsequent writer completes and submits a chapter, only one of which is selected to become the final version of the story.
[19990227] Then again, you could go the other way into Dispatches from the Collective Unconscious http://www.speculations.com/poetry in which a bunch of mad folk (namely, you and your friends) create a poem together from pop-up menus and your own insanity. The result is stunning.
Evgenija Demnievska &
Wolfgang Ziemer: "Gambit d'Eurynome: Chaos dans l'action"
[19990403] Order a Theft by Christine Meierhofer. An imaginative way to get the audience to collaborate (send picture of appartment).
Wasn't it always your dream to have a real Caspar David Friedrich hanging in your living-room? Didn't you always want to impress your new love with a real Boticelli in the bedroom?
You don't have to dream any longer!
Just pick a picture from the catalogue and send us a photo of your apartment! Leave everything else to us. (This service is free of charge!!)
If you like, you can stay anonymous, of course. You can rely on our discretion.
The finished works can be viewed on this site. The first right to buy a print-out will be yours.
[19991005] Cercle Ramo Nash: "Sowana"
[19991005] Vera Frenkel: "Body Missing" seems to be collaborative storywriting.
[19991005] Susan Collins: "Technosphere."
TechnoSphere is a 3D model world inhabited by artificial lifeforms created by WWW users. There are thousands of creatures in the world all competing to survive. They eat, fight, mate and create offspring which evolve and adapt to their environment. When you make a creature it will email you to let you know what it has been getting up to in its world. Using the creature tools you can find out how your creature is surviving, what it is doing at any time, and where it is in the terrain.
Use the creature tools to make your own artificial lifeform for free and take part in this unique simulation.
[19991006] Ingo Günther: Refugees' Republic.
Refugee Republic is a concept based on the ever increasing number of refugees, displaced persons and migrants. Refugee Republic is attempting to address the problem associated with this condition.
Refugee Republic maintains that refugees are essentially unrealized capital and that their involuntary fate of an international avant- garde can be turned into productive assets.
[19991122] Fashion Nation Hyperflag. Create a new French flag (Java applet).
[19990226] This tele-robotic installation allows WWW users to view and interact with a remote garden filled with living plants. Members can plant, water, and monitor the progress of seedlings via the tender movements of an industrial robot arm. Internet behavior might be characterized as 'hunting and gathering'; our purpose is to consider the 'post-nomadic' community, where survival favors those who work together.
[19981221] Teleporting an Unknown State by Eduardo Kac. Identity:1/10 physical:yes
"Teleporting an Unknown State" is a biotelematic interactive installation. In other words: it is a computer-based telecommunications piece in which a biological process is an integral part of the work. The installation creates the experience of the Internet as a life-supporting system. In a very dark room a pedestal with earth serves as a nursery for a single seed. Through a video projector suspended above and facing the pedestal, remote individuals send light via the Internet to enable this seed to photosynthesize and grow in total darkness.
[19991006] Komar et Melamid: "The Most Wanted Paintings on the Web."
Dia's second artists' project for the world wide web, begun in 1995, was created by the Russian emigrant artist team Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid. The Most Wanted paintings, as well as the Least Wanted paintings, reflect the artists' interpretation of a professional market research survey about aesthetic preferences and taste in painting. Intending to discover what a true "people's art" would look like, the artists, with the support of the Nation Institute, hired Marttila & Kiley, Inc. to conduct the first poll. In 1994, they began the process which resulted in America's Most Wanted and America's Least Wanted paintings, which were exhibited in New York at the Alternative Museum under the title "People's Choice."
