The programmers I have tried working with recently have gotten distracted. The most recent programmer turned out to be more interested in his sexual reassignment surgery than the project, go figure:) I thought I would try the list and see if anyone would be interested. We would like to opensource the code and the content itself. I know this list has seen many discussions in the past on what sort of liscence is most applicable to artistic content. Any thoughts on that topic would also be appreciated. Project: The project is a Web based narritive text that refrences authorship, copyright, ownership... the current questions floating around. Sounds simple right? Well it requires some server side scripting beyond my skill. Parts of the narritive structure will change based upon global weather conditions. Perhaps the realitive humidity in Karachi, Pakistan might alter the gender of a character. The a change in Miami's barometric pressure may reconfigure a metaphor. Obviously the server will have to get info from one or two weather sites and crunch it into something usefull. All this would be done for each reader. The text would be in a continual state of flux as weather conditions shifted daily and seasonaly. Additionaly it would be nice to trace route each reader so that the act of reading the page will alter its content, Heissenberg style. I can explain the project in more detail, if anyone is interested. We also have an alternative gallery interested hosting the the work for a show in January. Who is involved? Jeremy Height, weathernut, writer and college professor. jeff knowlton (me) NetArtist, writer and stay-at-home-father. Credentials: Jeremy's writing has been published internationaly. Jeff's work has been shown internationally and most recently at Siggraph. We both hold MFA's in Writing from CalArts. Thanks for your time. Jeff knowlton calarts.edu/~knowlton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
