(latest news: Google bought the painting for around 5000ドル). see: http://www.exonemo.com/NP/indexE.html Reality Turns "Virtual" in Real-Time!? "Natural Process (NP)" is an installation that consists of exonemo's first-ever pictorial work, "A web page," and a surrounding system. "A web page," the work at the center of this installation, is a conversion of a well-known webpage (*1) into painted form. Simply put, the painting depicts an entire webpage along with the window that frames it! Yet, at the same time, it's not just a painting, but also "an analogization of a digital object" or "a landscape painting of the Internet." (After all, we see it through a "window"!) The NP system is constructed so that a webcam captures the painting in the museum and transmits its image onto the Internet. Here's how it works: [The webpage is converted into analog form (i.e. a painting)] >> [installed in the museum] >> [filtered through the medium of the exhibition space] >> [converted back into digital form] >> [and transmitted onto the Internet] In short, it originates from the Web and returns back to it through what is probably the world's most-roundabout process ever!! And by filtering through the medium of the museum, will the "data" deteriorate? Or will it mature into something else!!!!!!? # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
