been busy with paperwork and various forms of writing for and about the degree show work and have FINALLY decided on the full title for it and have filled out a 5 page (front and back) risk assement…
anyway its called Temp. DA/LL Network and is made up of Data Collection and Distribution Architecture Nodes and diagrams (not prints) i am quite pleased with the word NODE in particular!!!
i also thought i’d pop in some quotes i’ve hunted down which are fairly relevent to the work…
Nomads chart their courses by strange stars, which might be luminous clusters of data in cyberspace, or perhaps hallucinations. Lay down a map of the land; over that, set a map of political change; over that a map of the Net, especially the counter-Net with its emphasis on clandestine information flow and logistics – and finally, over all, the 1:1 map of the creative imagination, aesthetics, values. The resultant grid comes to life, animated by unexpected eddies and surges of energy, coagulations of light, secret tunnels, surprises. [1]
When two worlds collide, one asks the other, “Who are you and what are you doing in my space?” Usually, the question brings with it an assumption that the questioner has the authority to ask it in the first place, and the confidence or the knowledge that space, and the means of circulation, can also be property. That the “space” is his to enable the asking of the question to the person immediately categorized as the interloper, the encroacher, the not-quite-right-thing or right-person-in- the-right-place.[2]
