yeah this is a 'big cringe' for me. some of the best netart, new media art, whatever you'd like to label it, has come out of precisely these 3 elements, together with the fourth being google, and it's related constellation of APIs and services. some quick examples: google will eat itself, bill viola's 'the night journey', AMS's 'heart stand in' for Counterstrike, all of jason rohrers work, most of corey archangels work with manipulating youtube clips, robin astro - a 'sock puppet' for facebook and 20 other social services, etc etc. even the argument that most people don't 'creatively use' these spaces/genres doesn't hold for me. i've seen FB graffiti that's way more interesting than some exhibitions. :-) cheers, luke which > I'm not sure any of us are that keen on doing (then again, there's been a > lot of enthusiasm about the road trip aspect - any way to get out of these > deadlines!), but that certainly would be an approach to get good funding. > even if it is officially an educational focus, it'd be easy to tack on the > mobile hacklab for the eager twentysomethings.
