URBAN TEXT KULT MADDY PORTER P I C #001

Oct. 19, 2002

Type: discussion

(note: in this new series this is what i did - i converted the binary code
of different graphic formats into ascii text - this piece is an excerpt from
a pic image - then for the cover artwork of each volume i used screenshot
software with a timer to capture the text from the atmosphere series of
teddy warburg's voice of the village (www.voice-of-the-village.com) - and as
the timer captured screenshots of the text i kept the scrollbar depressed -
this approach was influenced by my phone conversations with the semiotic
theoretician professor paul bouissac, the new media artist lanny quarles,
and the multimedialist and critic lewis lacook)
