I am selling “Postcards from beyond, from elsewhere" 2015; a series of eleven widgets (1st edition of 3) for osx dashboard on Mac (work from Snow Leopard to Sierra).

What is:
“Postcards from beyond, from elsewhere” is a software-artwork I made on 2015-ongoing; it is constituted by a series of eleven interactive widgets ready to be installed into the dashboard on Mac.
Concept:
The widgets unfold in a very liminal space/place: between the network and the computer - between the Internet and the post-Internet. So, the Widgets are the conjunction between the medium and the message. “Postcards from beyond, from elsewhere” is the metaphor of a new imaginary and interactive media that would mediate impossible desires between machine and audience. These sorts of ‘mystic widgets’ are absorbed into an illusory threshold and generating meta-dimensions.
Usage:
The user can play (front/back) with the interactive widgets, and in some of them, by typing into the text fields, so generate crazy dynamic responses.
Installation:
To install the Widgets just double click one by one and they will install into the Mac osx-dashboard, from Snow Leopard to Sierra.
Shipment:
I will send to the buyer the Widgets as zip file (5 megabyte), directly via email.
Artwork certificate:
The software artwork “Postcards from beyond, from elsewhere” constituted by eleven widgets, is certified by the artist as 1st edition of 3. The certificate will be sent via email as signed PDF within the artwork itself.

Best regards, Chiara Passa
