- what is the
a.Rss?
a.Rss is based on the idea of a free appropriation system for artists, musicians, and designers working in the digital realm. the mass availability of production related software and information on the internet is overwhelmingly disproportionate to the mass of source data files for individuals to use in their own work. the internet is constantly being hailed as a haven for interaction between artists, yet the interactions have primarily been either a text-based discussion of work, or a one-way transmission of a particular artists' net.art onto their audience, with little interactivity that effects the outcome of that particular piece. working within the digital realm, artists have access to terabytes of source material on the web - unfortunately gaining easy access to all this material is extremely difficult, delegating the artist to then start from scratch on their own source material. this model for artistic interaction is not viable in an age of instant appropriation and file-sharing echnologies. this is why the a.Rss was created. the a.Rss is a simple and easy way for artists of all kinds to exchange their source file material. source file material can be defined as a chunk of raw source data of any media type - audio, video, 2D & 3D image, MIDI, musical notation, samples, source code, binary, programs, etc. whatever data an artist wants to share or trade can be considered source file material. - how do you use a.Rss? a.Rss is extremely simple and easy. using already existing file-sharing technologies, (such as gnutella, kazaa, aimster, etc.) shared a.Rss files have a very specific and simple file naming convention - rss_. by having the rss_ header in front of the filename, this simply designates that file to be available for a.Rss use and makes searching for a.Rss files easy - and placing them in the shared files folder of your file-trading application (kazaa, gnutella, etc.) instantly makes them available to other artists searching for source file material. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
