Description of www.biencommun.com
1] In the exhibition space : the mother cell is shown on a single video-projection, and changes during the show.
On a second computer, a mail form allows the visitors to type numerical values and to choose a cell model. Each form is sent to my email address. I collect the values and apply them to the mother cell to modify it. The stages of created cells are shown on third computer in order to produce a possible collection of the mother cell development. The Web page presenting the collection is updated every hour. An email is also sent to each author to inform him about the form he contributed to generate. The addition of cells is not automatic.
2] On Internet site: The cell mother, the form and the collection are visible and accessible permanently. A chat is available for discussing the project and the concept of digital common.
