Re: FLUXLIST: artistic community experiment
As a writer, I find the idea fascinating, but I just have to ask how are the members making money? --- George Free [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The art may not be that good, but the community web tech is cool, I think. http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2000/9/19/2458/13427 collective art (Media) Posted by luap on Tue Sep 19th, 2000 at 09:27:27 AM EST I've begun an experiment in my free time. I want to see if I can create an online artistic community with people posting their own works as well as commenting on others, sort of a method for writers/poets to get their word out and maybe even make money bypassing the publisher. Can it be done? Will the produced fiction/art be more/less real? I haven't really seen the 'slashdot' for literature out there yet.

(Creating art, but in another language, that of the computer.) So... I guess I'm just looking for feedback on the concept and execution of open source literature.

I just like the idea of how the guy who posted the note on kuro5hin implemented an interactive web based community facility. cheers, George --- George Free [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The art may not be that good, but the community web tech is cool, I think. http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2000/9/19/2458/13427 collective art (Media) Posted by luap on Tue Sep 19th, 2000 at 09:27:27 AM EST I've begun an experiment in my free time.
