Although they don't publish this link, I found it: http://www.koreawebart.org/artist/0100101110101101org/index.html I take back what I said about this artwork. I love the little flash animation of the hand dragging the folders around! It shows a sense of humor about what they're doing, a sense of fun. Interestingly, having seen this flash movie, 010100010010101101 actually seems less conceptual and more narrative - in fact, it seems like a kind of (self?) portrait. It's like the hand is being controlled by some goofy hacker clown somewhere, pulling a silly little prank on his cute little folders, a pretty interesting character study if you ask me. It's too bad their propaganda passes them off as purely conceptual/performance artists when in fact they are 'makers of things'. -Cf > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-list@rhizome.org [mailto:owner-list@rhizome.org] > On Behalf Of Christopher Fahey [askROM-remote] > Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 1:27 PM > To: PROPAGANDA@0100101110101101.ORG; nettime-l@BBS.THING.NET; > list@rhizome.org; spectre@mikrolisten.de > Subject: RE: RHIZOME_RAW: /// 0100101110101101.ORG /// > Opportunity makes the thief > > > The koreawebart site works just fine now - it was only hacked > for a short "performance" duration.
