A mushroom goes to a party.
When he gets to the door, the bouncer says, "You can't come in here!"

The mushroom replied, "Why not, I'm a fungi?"

a bit of hack_CARNIVORE

CARNIVORE


"Disobedience to authority is one of the most natural and healthy acts."
 -Empire, Hardt & Negri

CarnivorePE is inspired by DCS1000, a piece of software used by the FBI to perform electronic wiretaps. (Until recently, DCS1000 was known by its nickname "Carnivore.") Improving on the FBI software, CarnivorePE features new functionality including: artist-made diagnosic clients, remote access, full subject targetting, full data targetting, volume buffering, transport protocol filtering, and an open source software license. Carnivore is created by RSG.
It' s quiet interesting cause with system we can "read" the users actions in the internet. I mean you can track an ip address and any time that address is being visited the software is gonna let you know, SO with that information, loads of things can be done ( in an artistic way).

Iphone movie

 Compared with other movie cameras, the phone was good, he said, "because it is light and small and because anyone can use it".

update to 'motion tracking is officially commercial'


The Microsoft Kinect was hacked rather quickly it seems, and ladyada have put up a site guide here, if anybody feels up to it!

 recent Guardian article:

The mother of a woman who told 1,048 Facebook friends that she had taken a fatal overdose has questioned why none of them sought help until it was too late.

Back's friend Samantha Pia Owen said: "Everyone just carried on arguing with each other on Facebook … Some of those people lived within walking distance of Simone. If one person just left their computer and went to her house, her life could have been saved. These so-called friends are a waste of air. If someone has got problems you don't go around adding to them, you don't start attacking people who are already vulnerable …

 This looks quite interesting, if I can make it to London in the next month (doubtful), would like to go:

Responsive Ecologies

by CaptinCaptin and Parag K Mital
6 December - 21 January 2011

A new interactive installation by captincaptin and Parag K Mital, Responsive Ecologies explores notions of captivity, collective behaviour and human-nature social relations. The forms of interaction within the work take inspiration from the study of ecology (the relations of organisms, and their interactions with the environment) and reflect upon the possible implications of our actions and activities on the sustainability of future ecologies. As each individual visitor has the capability to expand or constrain the experiences of others, a coordinated approach is required in order to see the installation in its completed form.

Responsive Ecologies is a multi-screened enclosed projection in which a collection of videos are deconstructed and interlaced in response to audience interaction within the space. This installaion was produced through captincaptin's ongoing collaboration with ZSL London Zoo and Musion Academy, and includes other works created through this partnership.

The Game Of Life

The Game of Life Foundation

The Game of Life was established on September 13, 1999.

The Game of Life aims to organize projects in the field of spatial representation in electronic music.

With our programming we bring a variety of quality electronic music into the limelight.

We offer composers (in the broadest sense) the opportunity to work with our cell display system Wave Field Synthesis (WFS is the only mobile system in the world). Thus we offer listeners an experience with the current surround sound systems at home not to do.

We are closely involved in the process of creating, producing and programming stages and help where possible to the audience development.
