PodPals inNetwork

We can find a multitude of ways to contextualize
and discuss the inNetwork project and I think there has
already been some interesting ideas. Joe-Ann Green's
recent link to test.org regarding ArtStar has
yielded one…after poking around there i found an interesting
post called "Are You Awake Are You in Love" (which, if you've
been following inNetwork content is an apt title)…the piece
looks at three projects that utilize mobile technologies
and suggests among other things that "the production and
consumption of an artwork can be reduced to the same act."

In decribing ROSEN (Real-time Online Sound Environment Network)
Brian Lee Yung Rowe states "it becomes necessary to consider
existence as occupying more than just space and time; it now also
includes virtual space." http://muxspace.com/brooding/rosen/

If virtual space is a component of human existence/a
dimension of reality then when will it be time to turn our attention
to what is being made there as opposed to a fascination with simply
using the infrastructure? This is where Mandiberg and Steinmetz's
project falls apart for me.

Yesterday there were a total of 9 posts made to inNetwork: 2 photos,
3 podcasts and 4 text messages…hardly a feast for my eyes and ears
and brain to chew on in any space-time continuum.
