[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> from hypertext to codework

[christopherotto <cotto1@gl.umbc.edu>]

I would present as an example of this is the extension of my piece
timeascolor by Brad Borevitz earlier this year.

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~cotto1/timeascolor.html
http://www.onetwothree.net/art/somethingelse/

what i see as interesting in (client-side) net.art is that the text
and visuals of the artist are sent simultaneously and are inseperable from
the perspective of the viewer, possibly in the same way sasseure
visualized signified/signifier/sign as a card with two sides. very
different than seeing a painting and then reading the artist's sketchbook?

I have a short paper that extends this idea - email me personally if you
would like to read it.
