Online virtual reality and 3D environments have come to be associated with their potential...

'AE Generator' creates abstract expressionist pictures by randomly drawing lines. It is a play on the systematic nature of abstract expressionism, especially Pollock's drip paintings. I created this program in 1992. I recently found it on an old diskette and decided to post it as a possible early example of artistic software. Website: http://www.geocities.com/gregsidal/aegen/

Holidays are here. We go swimming, have excited times, visit interesting corners of the world. For this period let us leave a (post) box at the gallery and make a pledge to deliver the things we come across or create and consider interesting for others personally, or by friends, by traditional, or electronic mail. Let us be conscious that the thing we want to put into the artistic box, into which the Piwnice BWA (BWA Cellars) will turn for the time being, is going to travel, cross any borders; i...

A threefold internet art piece by Wolf Kahlen in Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese language is online since today.

This automatically turns out to be a game, since any move of the mouse touches another word. Until the underlying structure has been found out, ...

Somebody tries to draw our attention, use only few words in the subject of e-mail and is very advertising aggressive. There are also many properties of technical nature: to outwit spam filters by usage of dots between characters, replace...
