ASCO-O
I like MANIK’s art. Their current HTML text work, like Chris Ashley’s HTML table work, makes an engaging high art in a medium that you wouldn’t expect to have the aesthetic bandwidth.
MANIK’s work constantly makes me revisit my assumptions about the form of art, whilst animating my belief in the continuing possibilities of its content. I hope they get an archive of their email pieces from the Rhizome list together, those are the perfect complement to this. The Rhizome pieces are more like this one:
New Page In Art History (be sure to read the PDF).

Machine Vision Out Of The Box
Lemonodor links to an article on the machine vision system used in the Aibo:

A Human Brother Giorgio’s Kangaroo

Art Computing
A comment from Alan Sutcliffe on the various names for art-made-with-computers (private email) got me thinking. Procedural art (Alan’s term) is a good description. I quite like the term I’ve now come up with: art computing. It describes the process and the activity, implying that something might come out of it rather than being a (dead) end in itself.

Barbara Kruger & Creative Commons
Renowned appropriation artist (and graphic design distiller) Barbara Kruger uses Lessig’s book (presumably Free Culture) on her grad course:
Barbara Kruger And The Public Domain
CC = no lawsuits over image appropriation. If only artists would start using the blimmin’ licenses…
