geo letter

Once again I request all Rhizome readers:
Please send me a photograph of yourself, reading this message, accompanied by your location:
street address
city
country
postal code (if applicable)
(if you know your latitude and longitude, then I can work much faster)
to:
[email protected]
I am gathering locations and responses for an internet work.
you can include CV's URLS and emails etc,
Eric Dymond
help the geo cause
p.s.
your information will be held in the strictest confidence,
only the latitude, longitude and pic will be made public.
I would really appreciate your support.
Thanks to all who have contributed.
I have a good deal of java programming ahead of me. Please help.
I am trying to make this an open source, non-proprietory project.

as an aside, given current GPS satellite technology, any location on earth can be captured with the the data from the N/S/E/W elevations and a topographic view. In other words, moving around with a camera and a human body will become an unnecessary personal experience(still enjoyable, but not necessary). Everywhere will be positionable and available. When the GPS systems go live, then new freedoms ( and constraints) willl determine our every move. It is a very important issue for us all. Control, or be be controlled.
Leonardo would be pleased…, and me too!
please contribute,(see previous text)

I should add that, it will only take 320 satellite imaages per 1/20 of a second, and 110.2 terrabytes of memory (samll by todays memory standards), rolled over every 2 seconds to capture all Human activity in the major "google" cities and environs,
Working with known compression algorithms this could be accomplished today,… and it probably is…
memory is meaning

no,
there are no constructs anymore.
the machine creates meaningful relationships from memory.
only sentient beings derive meaning from memory, and they are hard to come by. just the machine..,just the machine..,just the machine..,just the machine..,just the machine..,just the machine..,
