The Public Domain: Our Shared Culture: Judith’s Web

Shown in this 1972 image is Lexington, Massachusetts, high school student Judith Miles, who discusses her proposed Skylab experiment […] called “Web Formation in Zero Gravity,”

Not quite space art, but close enough.

an intriguing set of illustrations that represent web designs as pure structural representations

Any designer worth their salt will sketch out a web page design, in pencil or pen, as blocks before they go anywhere near a computer screen. I’d like to see those sketches, but these illustrations are a good insight into the compositional design of web pages and are very cool in themselves.

New media art shouldn’t suck

Rhizome.org: New media art shouldn't suck

MTAA has been wanting to move into the gallery for quite some time now. In order to do so, we'll need to start thinking that our audience is completely ignorant of digital culture. We can't expect them to be geeks that are excited about a good hack. We'll need to communicate our emotion, interest and excitement. We can't expect them to share it until we communicate every bit of it.

I can't believe it took me so long to realize this…

Welcome to the dark side, MTAA. 😉

Boing Boing: FreeCulture UK launches monthly free culture zine

Boing Boing: FreeCulture UK launches monthly free culture zine

Us at Free Culture UK and the folks at iCommons have have started to publish a monthly digest of free culture/commons related/copyfighting events going on globally. It’s distributed across various email lists, and is also published by the Free Sotware Magazine. What’s more, it’s released under a CC-BY license and collaboratively maintained on the iCommons wiki so anyone can syndicate it, or add details of events.

This is great, it’s a continuation of the UK newsletter started by Tom Chance (that I did some work on occasionally as well 🙂 ).
