this page is under construction ;)

RESEARCH: Tool to support visual comparison of front pages newssites a la Sarah Charlesworth's Modern History (1978)

Modern History examples
The Order Of Things through the end of the year at the MuKHA, Antwerp.

Necessary Tools:

ssh program (look up for those on windows)

http://www.ir.bbn.com/~bschwart/adventure.html

text adventures == early intersection of narrative and computational forms
multi-person / time sharing / interaction vs. batch
getting comfortable with the command line
command line == programming
pipeline VS. sealed case "suites"

pragmatic exercises / "puzzles" involving:

wget for some spidering
ffmpeg for some media manipulation?
imagemagick for some xxzzy ?!

Maybe cool to keep in the spirit of group / network activities / timing. How to communicate between users logged into the network. ... too complex for now

Exercises could take the form of puzzles with a description of a desired end result, like:

Produce a single image made up of images collected from the homepage of a particular website.

(wget => montage)

Produce an animated gif made up of the headlines from a particular news site

? CL feedreader ?? => image => movie ?

(?! find command / wildcards as a prelimary way to loop ) By creating a single (or more) variables, create a basic tool.

!! show how copying images / animation to public_html allows for instant web "publishing"
