Mediatopia.2 fresh! assembles an exciting mix of recent net-based work by
a diverse group of neoteric artists, creatives and thinkers. Their fresh,
networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the internet,
as playground, platform or paintbrush. Mediatopia.net is a recurring
network mediated culture space for art, technology and writing. We still
believe in networked culture. Mediatopia.net

michael kargl:
i wonder if someone read this article:
http://www.boingboing.net/2005/08/08/vienna_netart_commun.html

there are some discussions going on here in vienna about this, ranging from "idiotic nerd stuff" to "the solution to all our problems"...

has anybody heard of somehow similar projects ? any experiences?

and: this sentence: "more than 100 net.art groups" (from the article) tempts me to call vienna the net.art capital of the world ;-) ... seems everybody is a net.artist here...

regards,

I’ve just released the newest version of RhizMail, the email library we use at Rhizome. Most of the changes are minor, but one bigger change is making it easier to parameterize a child of SimpleTemplateMessage.

For example, You can still create a SimpleTemplateMessage directly:

msg = RhizMail::SimpleTemplateMessage.new(
:to_address => 'john.doe@email.com',
:from_address => 'webmaster@website.com',
:template_file => '/Users/francis/Desktop/template.txt'
)
msg.substitute( 'email', 'john.doe@email.com' )
msg.substitute( 'password', 'p4ssw0rd' )
msg.deliver

But you can also create a child, parameterizing it with class methods:

class IntroEmail < RhizMail::SimpleTemplateMessage
from_address 'webmaster@website.com'
template '/Users/francis/Desktop/template.txt'
substitute 'email', Proc.new { |msg| msg.user.email }
substitute 'password', Proc.new { |msg| msg.user.password }
attr_reader :user
def initialize( user )
@user = user
super( :to_address => user.email )
end
end
User = Struct.new( :email, :password )
u = User.new( 'john.doe@email.com', 'p4ssw0rd' )
email = IntroEmail.new u

3D Artist Tian Cocker, in conjunction with Kisky Netmedia (Katie Lips and Paul Stringer) has recently created a new project; iPod scrubs, available at ipodscrubs.com. iPod is a perfect device for viewing animated sequences. The tactility of the clickwheel can not only be used to navigate your music or photo collection; it can also support the illusion of movement based on the same elemental principles as traditional flick book animations.
