I found a screenshot of your browser bro. Enjoy the clutter.

Far more accessable -- we all have cell phones, but we don't all have ipods.

A podcast is being setup, but Art On Call was there first.

How long before this will be used for artwork?

You don't need a printer to produce that kind of art.

(ps: that dress was dried out and now appears in an art gallery in Paris.)

I live near Minneapolis where theater is doing fine

Yea, I live in Minneapolis myself and though I haven't been to any I know there's a number of theatres. Though I don't know the area there's that well two or three within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Heck Walker Art Center is within a few minutes though I've only been there a couple of tymes while working on photography assignments.

At least that's the idea behind Radio Re-Volt: One Person .00One Watt, a project by Minneapolis' Walker Art Center that intends to open the radio airwaves to the general public, one small radio station at a time.

but Verdana is the sans, and Georgia is the serif.

The loss of Verdana is really sad -- it was the"first" (read: first designed by a famous typographer) font ever designed specifically for the screen instead of adapated from print media and was commissioned by MS from Matthew Carter. More info, straight from the horse's mouth.

My favorite Carter font is Walker, the mix 'n' match typeface that he designed for the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Totally brilliant.

I get into endless discussions with my comrades on the difference between art and design. Fundamentally, computer generated art is "art" because it it is a creative act. Wether it is "fine art" is apparently up to those that call themselves critics. I haven't seen your work, but I have seen many examples of what I consider to be "fine art" both in stand alone apps and on the net. I think some of the best examples are in piotr szyhalski's work with the walker art center: ding an sich and the spleen if anybody is asking if "fine art" is possible in a computer medium there is simply no question.

I looked at the main site and the utterly appalling companion site but couldn't find out where this installation is. I live in SF and would like to see this. Does anyone have a street address??

it's nice to see technology and art convergence covered on slashdot but honestly the work produced is really uremarkable. Just using new tools to make what is a rather uniteresting large doodle. This is less interesting than someone doing the same thing with macpaint. for a better example of tech(specifically the web) and art combo look at adaweb

yeah -- i suppose it'll remain to be seen whether hundreds/thousands of new users will serve the purposes of such a site well (depends, really, on how generous the /. demographic is...) see, we have a website sorta like this locally -- most likely, many of you living in the bay area have heard of it (craigslist) with increasing volume from the local "hip" weeklies and whatnot... turns out the folks reading these weeklies are just a bit *too* hip to take a model based on community/sharing and turn it into a minature antique market -- where prices on whatever you might want to purchase were of the "take it away, i don't need it, variety" we're now seeing the "my junk is gold" user, (not to mention the college kids who are taking furniture off the street and selling it as "used" to fund beer runs, etc -- a cute idea, but shameful abuse of craigslist.)

what i'm saying here (ie, how it's applicable) is that services are only going to benefit from a greater user base if that base matches a balance necessary to such a model -- meaning, that there must be people who want to get stuff, and others who want to give.

as the internet lately seems to have been overtaken more and more by some mad mob mentality (post-93, 94, anyone?) obeying the theory that "people on computers in great numbers are infintely stupider" (don't believe it? go witness collective stupidity that overruns holzer's original "truisms" in her Please Change Beliefs work.) I have little hope for such a site to survive as a useful resource given greater numbers of traffic.

sorry, the glass is half empty, and the fuckers getting drunk on paper profits are pissing in it.

what? i can't say fuck?
