User:Eleanorg/2.1/Image ring

Asking people to embed an image on their website from the pzwart server. Any one of the participants can change the image at any time by uploading a new version. The image is synchronized across all participating websites.

The first image, of a red panda, was chosen by Jasper. track versions here: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/File:Embed.jpg

day 3

• currently embedded on 5 websites
• Initial, tentative editing process cut off by a new participant who replaced original img with completely new one
• This image in turn was totally replaced
• Silvio tweets, "The Image I'm hosting for @elnornor keeps changing and I like it!"

Personal notes:

• I like the repetition of the same image across multiple sites, with the variations of framing & context.
• The image size could be changed using CSS, or other manipulations made in how it appears. Possibilities?
• Bored with the standard mashup visual vocabulary; demonstrates well why a specific social context/investment needed
• How to adapt this simple exercise to a more intimate encounter between participants and their content, with higher stakes?

day 1

• Currently embedded on 3 websites.
• The two portfolio websites made a special page for the embedding, contextualizing it with an explanation and reference to my name. The wiki page embeds the image alongside others, making no distinction between this image and other content.
• The image has been edited twice by the same person. First the colors were changed, then another photo was collaged into the original.
• One person misunderstood and hosted the image initially on their own server. Need to make clear that the img link has to be live.
