"Tap" Palm Art at The Whitney's Artport
technogamy writes: "Art.geeks -- check out The Whitney Museum of American Art's Artport, a 'portal to net art and digital arts, and an online gallery space for commissioned net art projects.' Note specifically Jim Buckhouse's Tap--part of Creative Time's Beaming Network, Tap's collaborative, evolving, quirky app hops on to your Palm-based device through a sleek silver beaming cube. (I freaked out when I saw one of the cubes at a local Barnes and Noble ... especially when I realized that I knew the person who made them. ;]) Here's how Tap works. Get some culture, people!"

is it that bad seein a hot chick again? if i see a hot chick walkin down the hall i dont say "repost"
Yeah. I shit in your face. Haw, haw. You smell like shit.
So it's just a game. What's the big deal?
Basicly just a game thats tied into a museum. "Beaming Stations" have been around for quite a while now and are quite popular where the pointy haired bosses gather in large numbers. Something about trading business cards and product info... personaly I like the paperware and the cool bags vendors give you.
Anyway, back on track. Has anyone built a "Beaming Station", and posted info on how?
symetrix. We are building a religion, a limited edition.

This is a perfect example of how little the slashdot editors care about the site. Remember the other page widening bugs... you could have temporarily disabled BLOCKQUOTE and list tags while you worked on a fix - but no. We had weeks
of page widening (and not just on IE), while you sat on your fat asses thinking up a fucking regexp.
It's really not acceptable guys. I work as a coder, and if I worked in such a shoddy way I'd be out the door. You are not even taking this perfectly valid patch to fix a bug which affects a large percentage of your readership. The work has
been done for you - and the excuse that it stops people from posting unix
incompetant web monkeys you are.
Frankly, the entire system is a joke, and it looks more and more like you are sabotaging things to piss off your employers.

Its clear that the so-called "editors" and "coders" at Sla$hdot are so deluded and confused, that they think by NOT fixing this bug, millions of IE/Windows users will suddenly flock to Linux/Mozilla. Or they think they are revealing some "bug" in IE (guess what, it happens
with Netscape under Win 98 also).
Just for fun I tried page-widening on some other comment pages. IT DOES NOT WORK. For example try www.shacknews.com. The comment I post is wide, but THE OTHER COMMENTS ARE FINE.
So, whats broken? Your stupid open sorez code is broken.
You guys really are starting to be your own worst enemy. Your readership and hitcounts are down, aren't they? Its because you are OUT OF TOUCH! If you do not fix the bug, people, ALOT OF PEOPLE, alot more than your Mozilla readership, will be *ANNOYED*.

jamie - don't be such a fucking incompetant. any *real* web programmer worth their salt would test against all popular web browsing configurations (linux, mac os, windows running IE, netscape, mozilla, opera, konqueror).
i know that VA is going down the tubes, but i'm certain they can at least buy one windows box w/ IE for testing. in the *real* world, your ass would be canned in a heartbeat for blatantly ignoring 90% of your potential customers. ha! what are you going to tell your paying
customers:
"if you want to view slashdot, please download netscape and install on your machine"
the saddest part of this whole thing is that somebody has already given you the patch. i know "cut-and-paste" is a difficult thing to do, but calm down, jamie, even 11 year old Sandy in the Special Ed courses can do it on her iMac.
here's a hint: In Xemacs, you can paste text from the clipboard buffer using Shift-Insert.
And the wonderful thing about Perl is that you don't have to learn how to do really *hard* stuff, like compiling and linking. or using the makefile. or the debugger.
You can just rerun the script, and, VOILA! You're ready to test!
so why don't you get off your slug ass and fix this fucking shit. if not for us, the potential customers, then at least do it so you don't look like a total retard in front of 250,000 users a day.
like i said before - in the real world, your ass wouldn't survive...

...at the Barnes & Noble at Union Square in Manhattan, yesterday. Each one has a Palm-OS device mounted inside, with the screen exposed, showing a simple animated loop. In this case, one showed the outline of a man dancing, the other showed a woman dancing.
:)
They had the rough, looped quality of an early kinematograph, or whatever those things are called (where you rotate the wheel and look through the slits to see the horse running). The softly glowing blue light in each cube was the port for beaming the artwork on to your own PDA. Cool stuff.
Of course, I saw something like this two years ago. I was working on a film set, and all the guys with Palms were beaming it to each other -- a short animation of a naked woman. Nothing like pr0n to define the bleeding edge of technology.
Does anyone know of anything else some what similar to this out there? Thanks.

"... through a sleek silver beaming cube. (I freaked out when I saw one of the cubes at a local Barnes and Noble ..."
:-P
I dont get it either.. i find this cubething interesting.. but i cant find info on it.. whats the big deal here?
is it cause it is 3 in the morning here and i am trying to debug in MIT scheme,,,
ok here is the deal: Tap is a Palm-based wireless project offering male and female animated characters that "learn" tap dancing by taking lessons, practicing, giving recitals and learning from each other. While digital media allows for perfect replication of data, Tap emphasizes the process of repetition with a difference. It treats digital data not only as reproducible packets of information, but as seeds for new ideas that spread and evolve. As an artwork that relies on exchange, learning processes and community, it becomes a metaphor for networked communication itself.
back to scheme now...
The war with islam is a war on the beast

Why do I picture the writer saying that in this total queen voice while waving his limp-wristed hand around?
Here's my culture: beer, John Wayne movies, cars. Fuck tap dancing pda fags. Dorks, I tell you, dorks!
Break dancing on my PDA! Maybe "east-vs-west" competitions via IR between two PDAs.
My computing device could break and I wouldn't be mad.
:)
You might be able to get Palms to act in a Cluster, but you'd probably need iPaQs to actually run Beowulf. But you could probably adapt this thing to have a tap-dancing monster instead of a tapdancing man :-)
totally off topic but i wanna ask this in front of a large audience.. why does the spam I get have a random string of 1) numbers or 2) letters and numbers after it?
ie "slutty whores fuck animals 26tty5wfsfsdfsdf"
etc.. almost all the spam I get now has something like this after it..
what is it? why is it in the TITLE? and is there a way to filter based on the "randomness" of it?
whatever.. i love trolls, i hate spam. i don;t want to get my diploma or see brtniey spears fingering anna kornikvia
I forget their name, but the similarity just occurred to me. You have a little "being" on a digital device, that can be trained to perform tasks, and can interact with others.
They came out a few years ago in the US (maybe earlier in Japan). And they actually do more than this Tap program -- they can fight each other (certain models, anyway), grow if nurtured, and die if neglected.
Props to Tap's creator(s), but perhaps they are a little behind the curve.
with all the amazing restrictions placed on posts (2 mins per post, junk characters, stupid `whoa cowboy shit`, etc) you'd think they could fucking add one more that says "if # of .'s >= words per line" etc
./ if it were 'fixed' or 'cool' or 'professional'
watch i bet even the above won't make it trhough the junk character thing
my impression of slashdot: it took off because the topics are cool. but the coders are, and always have been, lame. very bad coders. and the editors do as much editing as a chimp. they dont evcen spell check etc. that brings out the trolls, which is a cool way of getting an active user base.. nobody would come to
so...

The Whitney is running a biennial which is showcasing some of today's most notable artists. I was really excited to see a lot of internet installations. There are several computer terminals in the exhibition space pointed towards websites, and there are some more complicated ones with projection installations and other gizmos. I think the /. crowd would really appreciate seeing them treated as high art. I always believed it was (more in terms of literary theory though, but that's another story).
The rest of the exhibit is really nice. There is a comic book influence in several installations, and there's a whole gallery for Chris Ware of Acme Novelty Library Fame. There are some performance artists and I suggest scheduling your visit to catch them. When I went, Karin Campbell was performing "When I Close My Eyes" and it was a really surreal experience.
If you have never seen contemporary art before, this is one of the best examples of what's out there and I highly urge you to go. If you're not near Manhattan, I also suggest MOCA in Los Angeles and SFMOMA in San Francisco.
This is an example of people with way too much money being way too annoying. People like this get on their hands and knees and pray to whomever they worship that they have shit like Palms, or art, etc. Jesus christ we are a nation of spoiled fucks. we should all die. Right noe i'm looking at an animated gif of a watch that displays in binary. how fucking sick. we are all sick. we all need to spend a year in the army to harden ourselves up. this is sick. america is spoiled.

Just my two cents that came up wilst reading this...
There is an art that's actually quite nice which oyou could consider practicing - Tap Dance. I'm talking about REAL tapdance that actualy involves lifting your ass of that officechair and learning to move somewhat elegant. (Not THAT easy btw.)
These little gadgets are as much art in comparsino to - for an instance - tap dance as typing HTML is to real programming.
...I could go on but you get my point.

You're all a bunch of COCKMASTERS. I gotta go take a DUMP. Oh, this whole site makes me sick... kill me now...
STOP ME BEFORE I POST AGAIN!
i didn't see anything in the article about user contributions. i'd definitely get into it if i could add a rudeboy and teach him to skank.
i'm not a real fan of tap or the jazz community that usually supports it, but it'd be good to see other dancing styles represented and the interactivity would likely make it a lot more popular.

Thats funny.... Daily Show cancelled today, and Captain Crunch (Draper) a known and proven homosexual... but a very smart and nice guy all the same.
Your post was factual and interesting but what does that have to do with limpwristed tap dancers armed with PDAs and tap dance software
The picture shows a dickless human on the PDA though I assume it has other artwork in it.

But the real question is other than women and men whom like to be with other men or want to be women themselves... is
WHO WANTS THIS SOFTWARE and why is it an approved slashdot article.
Nerds have enough problems in high schools... they dont need to be associated with tap dancing to compound their troubles.
Nerds should be associated with dot com multibillionaire lifestyles.

I suppose you feel a little like Alice; tumbling down the rabbit hole, hmmm? You know something, Klerck. You know something is wrong with the entire system. You felt it ever since you dropped out of highschool, whenever you pay your child support, whenever you eat your noodles... The truth, Klerck, is that you are a slave and a world of lies has been pulled over your eyes to blind you, to control you, and turn you into a slashdotting troll junkie. The question you came to me for an answer...
Why can't I crap flood anymore?
i gotta run! stand clear of those agents with that ass-raping tracking worm they slip down yer pie-hole bellybutton.
Great Tapdancers need grace, and being "graceful" is incompatible with being "manly".
Its a fact.
I have nothing against homosexuals. I do not believe in public discrimination against homosexuals in any way. I wouldn't careone whit if I was in the army and I shared the barracks with a gay man. Nor would I give a frosty crank if a gay man walked into the gym shower while I was in there washing my goodies, unless he started pointing and laughing real hard.
But I do take offence at people claiming that some types of dance are manly when they aren't : Sammy Davis Jr not withstanding.
Why do we need these all new gay advances in software promoted on slashdot when you know that its going to result in nothing but backlash... even among gay sypathizers.
All this talk of tapdancing makes me cringe. What need here is a clever gay bar joke :
----
This guy walks into a bar and two steps in, he realizes it's a gay bar. "But what the heck," he says, "I really want a drink."
When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the customer, "What's the name of your penis?"
The customer says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink."
The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your penis. Mine for instance is called 'Nike,' for the slogan, 'Just Do It.' That guy down at the end of the bar calls his 'Snickers,' because 'It really Satisfies."
The customer looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over. The customer asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of your penis?"
The man looks back and says with a smile, "TIMEX."
The thirsty customer asks, "Why Timex?"
The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!"
A little shaken, the customer turns to the fella on his right, who is sipping a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you call your penis?"
The man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because 'Quality is Job 1.' " Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford, lately?"
Even more shaken, the customer has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his penis. Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my penis is 'Secret.' Now give me my beer."
The bartender begins to pour the customer a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why secret?"
The customer says, "Because it's STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!"
Three unreleated gay men died, and were going to be cremated. Their life-partners happened to be at the funeral home at the same time, and were discussing what they planned to do with the ashes.
The first man said, "My Ryan loved to fly, so I'm going up in a plane and scatter his ashes in the sky."
The second man said, "My Ross was a good fisherman, so I'm going to scatter his ashes in our favorite lake."
The third man said, "My Jack was such a good lover, I think I'm going to dump his ashes in a pot of spicy chili, so he can tear my ass up just one more time."
You need help. You fucking Canux would list Princess Bride and Aliens in the same list. God help you. Those of you fuckwads tight on time that want a real list of good movies:
1) Total Recal - (you'll remember that one girl that wanted to have fun...
2) Braveheart - (as patriotic as I wanna get. Killing Britains is truly my hobby)
3) Predator 1 - (the best extra-terristrial-meets-human movie)
4) Alien 3 - (best Sci-Fi)
5) Soldier - (only good Kurt Russel movie I know of)
6) *Any movie in which Robin Williams or Elton John Dies*
If it were up to you fucking Canux' then we would all be seeing Pokemon 2000, WaterWorld, Goonies, and the likes of that fucking John AssCandy topping the charts.
Keep your fucking frenchy lard fingers out of the action you bunch of wooly whore woofers!!
Saw it in the new movie "The Time Machine"
its a crappy movie (worst ever) but the kids in the tech library all were setting their equipment to autoreceive beams in the exhibits.
I dont know if they downloaded articles on tapdancing, hairdressing, or interior decorating though.
that art site that was linked to links to this very intresting site www.theyrule.net it shows the links between board members in large corporations. check out the hp microsoft connection
Alien3 was, and is, a shining example of the failure of capitalism. Glorious scientific socialism has given us movies like 'Le Femme Nikita' and 'Seven'. Suck it down, you fucking scot.
The best part of braveheart is where the scots willingly gave their women to the English, so that their superiors may taste of them. Figures that the scottish would be so complacent, like beaten dogs.

As for the geek side of art, I think artists are hackers in the same way as IT hackers. The strive to explore, research and often apply pedantic measures to get thing right. They expand their own minds and challenge the audience's mind. Sometimes they are hackers to, just watch the LED columns in the Bilbao Guggenheim. Fascinating, beautiful, cool.
And what about your home? When I was a kid, I had a poster for Tallgrass backup systems on my wall, because the leopard on it was cool. Now I'm and adult and want som art on the wall. It's not difficult. I have four artworks in a small apartment; One oil on canvas, one print, one litography and latex on clear plastic. Art is so much different things, something I'm trying to tell you here. In other terms, I have one horrendusly expensive original painting only one in existence, one framed dirt-cheap colour copy, one advanced numbered hand-crafted copy, and one anime cel. :) Art is so many things, most of them beautiful and often cool. Now go out there an nail a painting to yer wall! :)
Paper was orginally created for writing, but now it has a plethora of uses. Same would go for most other technologies. When rubber and latex were invented, few people thought an artist would use it as a medium, let alone play things of varying uses. Another manifestation of the maturation process is case modification and the new iMac. Computers started out as tools to make things like art, but now they are rapidly becoming art. The participation of computers in the process of art is changing and evolving.
from 02:25AM till 8:51 AM only 16 comments at 1 or higher, what is the record for the least commented artice in the last year?
there are a lot of net.artists which works are hard to find in galleries, and who themselves (more or less) call net.artists and that dot makes the difference...
:)
its work usually digs into political issues and specific issues of the media itself (net part of the net.art coin) rather then playing in the field of aesthetics and continuum of ugly and beautiful... media hacks are better thain paintings... just to start a little flamewar

You'd probably be interested in BeamPro Exhibition, for the PalmOS.
It would be interesting to see a really cheap PIC-based solution, however - That would be what would bring beaming stations down from the one-off, rare item to standard usage.
... they called it the Tamagotchi, and we all got over it quickly. Then someone came along with too much free time and a postmodern vocabulary and refigured the social lattice-work of the Tamagotchi construction, subtly shifting the deixis from cheap kids' fad to artsy fad. Ye Gods, where are the sarcastic lampoonists of suck.com when the world needs their bull-fighting superpowers? I can just see Terry Colon's desaturated cartoons depicting an art disciple in black beret fidgeting over his key-chain pocket monster trying to teach it new dance steps with which to "challenge" and "trade fours" with some ten-year-old's ubermonsterdancer.
Every 'beam station' I've ever seen is built with the unfortunate side effect of restricting Handspring PDA's from using it.
There really is a drawback to having yout IR port on the side.
An infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters still wouldn't repost stories on
Am I the only old timer around here? This Tap program for the Palm reminds me a lot of the Dancing Demon program for TRS-80, written in Basic by Leo Christopherson.
Good (?) game concepts don't die. They just reappear in the weirdest places.
