From ARS Electronica: "
Tracking Transience" by Hasan M. Elahi
In 2002 the creator of this page was a
subject
of the FBI, while they thought he is a suspect terrorist. The FBI
tracked him all the time regarding his whereabouts and activities. This
side grabs his experience to be tracked by an instituion and so tracks
his current life online, sharing it with millions of people.

From Ars
Electronica: Ben Hibon's "Codehunters"
In a future world filled with chaos, four
Codehunters set out to free the land from evil and reestablish just
rule. Excellent use of concept, animation, photography, and modeling.
It was very entertaining and it held my interest.-Stephanie Sorth

follows is a video if black text, white background, melodic harmony set
(edited) to the beat of each word as it appears on screen while being
narrated by a female voice, who has an electronic accent. The short
film plays with irony, humor, current and past political issues in the
post-post modern era. I enjoyed the synergy of the project and the
mediated messages it stands for.

Rhizome's 2005-2006 Comissions, "Panel Junction" by Andy Deck
An online exquisite corpse exercise, Panel
Junction lets you claim space on a comic page, and then illustrate your
own panel using a Java-based interface that works like Microsoft Paint.
You can draw shapes, select brush width and color, upload a photo, link
to a hosted photo, or choose to edit from a list of images that have
already been uploaded by other users. When everything is finished, all
the pages are edited together to create a user-generated graphic novel.
Page composition is ultimately up to Andy, though. The interface is
detailed and easy to use, and the aesthetic allows for a clear
presentation of information. Even though he has a schedule, it still
remains unclear how the final decisions are made, as any user is able
to alter the existing page surface until it is closed.(?)

Rhizome's 2005-2006 Commisions---"Eternal Sunset" by Adriaan
Stellingwerff
A unique site dedicated to capturing the
sunset
around the globe. A site where time folds back upon itself because
darkness never arrives. A collage of webcam pictures that range from
the beautiful to the mundane. Aptly named---utilizes "272 west facing
web cams across 51 countires." Also entices viewer to become a
participant by offering extras such as an overview of "upcoming"
sunsets. The viewer can simply move his/her mouse over a group of four
images, each one promising a sunset as well as providing specifics such
as the city, country, latitude, longitude, owner of webcam, and amount
of time until the next sunset.

Rhizome's 2006-2007 Comissions, "Vidopedia" by Fritz Donnelly and Nadia
Anderson
Vidopedia is (technically) a user-generated
encylopedia of filmed actions. The goal is to strip away the
ever-present eye of the author by only catalogging verbs. Users can
search by verbs and broad verb clusters to find short films
illustrating all actions associated. Ultimately, the site would be a
library that explored linguistic properties of image. However, the site
appears to be under construction, none of the content is user
generated, and all of the videos are hosted by Youtube. This idea seems
thoughtful and ambitious, but flawed in its design and execution. The
site navigation is counter-intuitive and the videos thus far are
uninspired and do not serve to illustrate the core concept very well. I
was surprised to see this on Rhizome, actually.

Rhizome: "Terminal Air" by he Institute for Applied Autonomy and Trevor
Paglen
Terminal Air is a project that explores
complex
interconnections between government agencies and private contractors
involved with the United States Central Intelligence Agency's
extraordinary rendition program. Since the mid-90’s, the CIA has
operated the extraordinary rendition program, in which suspected
terrorists captured in Western nations are transported to secret
locations for torture and interrogation.

Triptych
Three video panels which that show the
motion,
stillness, and resistance of everyday life. I liked how it brought
these three different concepts together and made you think of them as a
whole.-Stephanie Sorth

From the
2006 Webby Awards, "Wordcount" by Jonathan Harris
Jonathan Harris' Wordcount is an index of
86,800 of the most commonly used english words, based on the British
National Corpus. You can search a word alone or a number rank. The
lesser used words are ranked lower and the commonly used words are
ranked higher. For instance, "the" is ranked as the most commonly used
english word. The site is clean and intuitive-it basically serves to
launch the Wordcount app. The Wordcount interface is also
minimalistically stylish. It presents the words on a time line, with a
small plotted graph below display where you are on the word map. The
application has spawned many inquiries into the way we use our language
(english speakers), and it allows for many associations to be made with
words and their distance from each other in the index. While the site
design is minimal, the concept is robust.

I like stuff for kids. I'm not however a very
big fan of the children. But we do have common interests, like shiny
things and color. The rest of this site sucks, just kid's corner is
kinda cool.

2005-2006 Triptych---by Peter Horvath
A unique collection of short film clips by
artist Peter Horvath. The videos (of which there are 3 positioned next
to each other) depict random events of everyday life---or more
specifically events that capture either motion, stillness, or
resistance. It seems like it would not be interesting but strangely
enough the videos intrigue the viewer and it becomes a beautiful play
of inconsistent silent movies that keep your attention and heighten
curiosity. Presented in a very clean and simple panoramic sort of
format which really draws the viewers eyes to all that is happening.

Triptych: Motion
Stillness Resistance
Triptych is a three frame shot featuring
stillness, motion and resistance. It is interesting to collaborate
these three basic laws in space, which take place in different
geographical locations.
