--empyre- soft-skinned space--Hi Babak,
You probably know of this fun « dada data » link, sponsored by ARTE :
www.dada-data.net
The menus are not obvious, but if you persist, the site unfolds in all sorts
of interesting directions.

--empyre- soft-skinned space--
Hi Renate,
I'm looking forward to the May discussion. And, though I'm not quite sure I
can meaningfully contribute to specifically the *politics* of participatory
art, you might enjoy a project I'm working on right now: Sauntering verse
auto generates Dadaist poetry based on the user's location. You can play
with it here: http://saunteringverse.com, and directly jump into creating a
poem here: http://www.saunteringverse.com/create.php
This works on any device, but best if you take your device for a walk.
Cheers,
Babak Fakhamzadeh
