MOSS
-
songs about something
A small experiment in mixing music radio, history of Pop Culture and
internet music journalism. Songs (with links to original
versions, covers, videos, Wikipedia, Official Websites, etc.) grouped
by topic (Doctors, Rain, Buildings, Prison, Time, etc.), and presented
in a blog format. I only made 30, I wish I had more time: to make each
one, it takes about a day. (2016)
Missionary is
killing sex
Yet another attempt to save the world: a series of digital
postcards and buttons released under a CC license. (2009)
The Norml
Dv8s
Some years ago I discovered a book entitled A Million
Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates. It's a fascinating
object: it actually contains 1,100,000 numbers; it was published in
1955 by the Rand corporation, and for many years it has been a major
resource for random numbers (any reference to John Cage is fitting
here: I've used the AMRD sequences like he did with I Ching). I decided
to celebrate this book by inventing a band, the Norml Dv8s. On the site
(hosted by Tripod since 2003) I published 2 imaginary music tracks and
a fictional remix, plus an HTML
version of the million random digits, a sculptural digital hommage
to this book. On the Rand web page about it you can find the
original book, all the accompanying text and more, in pdf. (2003)
Folder_poetry
This is a real oddball; it's a piece of poetry made from code
- html, to be exact. It was decieved as a digital labyrinth, a place to
hide something into, as part of Healthy Crop, a game I invented that
was simply too vast to make. This, and a few other bits that might
resurface somewhere in the future, is what's left of it. Thanks to
Kunstradio. (2001)
