Executables
http://www.alansondheim.org/exe/ - all the files are .exe, executable. They were made in 2003. One or more will 'stick' to the desktop until rebooting. None of them have viruses, worms, etc. They're all self- contained. Some of the images have to be double- or single-clicked on to start the processes. Some of the processes end by themselves; some just continue; some of the images themselves differ with each click; some of the images change with repeated clicking; and so forth. The pieces are concerned with - maybe 'deal with' - issues of the gaze, language, reading, sexuality, body, corruption, decay, control, deconstruction, eroticism. I'm leaving the them up for a while only - if you want them, download them now. After a while, some of the pieces will move to another site, and some of the more risque will simply be taken down. The programs that created these, by the way, were deleted; I wanted the executables to behave as independent autonomous objects with relatively impermeable interiors. I don't remember myself how they were made. They were created with Visual Basic 6, in a flurry of activity over a period of weeks. I've never been able to take the surface of an image for granted; these pieces are the result of that failure. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
