I had a ball yesterday, surfing lots of places online, a lot of You Tube, but in the end, I can't say I brought much 'back' from my travels that might apply to my work in hand.
So today, I determined that I would do a quick review of any art page I went to, and to discipline myself to do this, I will include my comments on this page (which after all is the equivalent of pasting info into a 'notebook' or visual diary.
Am not going to get much done as I will be out for the afternoon at the Archbishops day for pastoral council members in Kilmacud, and in the evening, my friend is coming to trim my hair, and we will be chatting.
But, never mind. Here is the first link. I got it in the book Internet Art by Rachel Greene.
The website is called 'Meaning Arises Through Use', though what appears on the page is De Geuzen DIY subtitled Instructional Manuals for Popular use and abuse. However, down at the end of the page, I notice that it says 'last updated 2003', so it could be out of date.
Well, I shall explore further, and add more comments later.
Turns out there are about thirteen 'windows' on the page, each leading to another website.
The first took me to a website that seems to make Morris type wallpapers.
The second took me to a subsite of De Geuzen, where I spent a few minutes dressing paper dollies. Think this was satirical, but the point went over my head.
3. Swap Meet
An exchange of tactical traditions and the politics they represent
This seems to be a record of an event that may or may not have taken place in 2003 in which people swapped various items while sitting on, in front of, or under a blanket.
4. Fripperies & Trimmings:
This is a site about how to personalize a T-shirt, including how to create a four-word slogan to use.
5. Easy Iron-on Guzenaam this is instruction for using iron-ons to alter a t-shirt. Not all the links work.
6. The Body as a Billboard
Site in French with nice photos, though some are somewhat risque.
Not sure what it was all about. Think it might have been about portraying insulting words
7.Basics for making your own uniform
Again not all links are working. nmall format - pop up window.
8. Paper Dollies - much the same as 2.
9.
Proposal for Sending Analog Messages in a Wired World
This seems to be directions for making a paper aeroplane.
10 Do-it-Yourself paper dresses - similar to 2.
11.
Still not available - an online scribble-pad
12, 13, 14. Temporary Archive of Shared Interests. All these pages link back to to the original front page (Page 1)
Well, little mindshaking there for me.
Rather like the mechanics of the dressing dollies - that is the drag and drop within the screen.
Time for bed.
More tomorrow maybe ....
