Simon will be talking to director Taylor Nuttall about the recent project
'endless_endless' featured as part of edit / copy / paste on the
www.unencoded.co.uk web site.
A feature of edit / copy / paste project is that the original source code
for the project is available to others - in the case of endless_endless al
the source files
contain the PHP and Java code required to create and present an
'endless_endless' nonstream work.
============================
endless_endless
we were interested in how
slow and fragmented the
experience of watching a film
online could be
the RTSP protocol attempts
to maintain the linear,
continuous, time structure
of film and tv over the
asynchronous time
structure of the internet
endless_endless [rfc2326]
is an attempt to 'stream' a
film using the conventional,
almost 'old-school', HTTP
protocol
each time the film's URL is
accessed, a new frame from
the film is displayed [hit on
'reload' or the 'frame' link
to retrieve the next frame]
the asynchronous pattern of
HTTP interferes with the
linear film-time
the more people access the
film at the same time, the
more fragmented the film
structure will become -
the discontinuous spatial
structure of the web
disrupting the continuous
temporal structure of
film time
the image itself is
constructed from the text
of the Request For
Comments #2326, the
original outline of the
RTSP protocol
the letters of the text are
coloured according to the
pixels of the source image
