Manufactured as a Software Development Kit, transCoder offers an open source environment for collaborative coding and making. Contents include: Compiler, Virtual Machine, API, Libraries, License, About. The Slash Goggles Algorithm, developed by Julie Russo, is the first program written with transCoder. Micha Cardenas of The Electronic Disturbance Theater has also used transCoder to create poetic sustenance on the Transborder Immigrant Tool.

It's Monday, your first school day after a short vacation from the Easter holiday. Before vacation, you had been working on writing several reports about your recent field research on the coiling habits of the boa constrictor. After blowing away a thin layer of dust from your computer (what's with the cleaning staff at this campus, anyway?), you turn it on and log in...

Olduse.net is Usenet, updated in real time as it was thirty years ago, available from nntp.olduse.net for the next ten years, unless I run out of inodes (again). To be on usenet before 1993, you had to be in some way special or lucky. This was before the September that never ended. You were aware of this Usenet or Internet thing that most of the world had not heard of, and went to some lengths to get on it. If we could gather together many of the people who were on the net at a past point in time, that would be interesting company to be in.

By linking the BitTorrent search engine piratebay.org to Amazon.com in such a way to reveal the 'links' between paid and free content, a critical operation is opened between the two sites that, in its turn, opens a debate over the evolution of property in the 21st century.

Welcome visitor,

A digital reference room, a virtual sketchbook, a spatial page: here are some of the projects and works that we felt encouraged by while developing Verbindingen/Jonctions 13: Prototypes for Transmission. Each in their own way they challenge what to do and how to behave on-line. You are cordially invited to disagree, disrupt or contribute to the collection.

Workers Leaving the Googleplex
Andrew Norman Wilson
In September 2007 I was hired jointly by Transvideo Studios and Google, both headquartered in Mountain View California. Transvideo had a contract with Google and took care of 100% of their video production in Mountain View, and sometimes elsewhere. My labor was sold to Google in the form of a 9-5 job. I had access to a personally unprecedented amount of privileges, but was not entitled to the ski trips, DisneyLand adventures, stock options, and holiday cash bonuses from their team of temporary Santa Clauses.

Love, Piracy, and the Office of Religious Weblog Expansion is about censorship politics. It takes as its subject the transcript of an interview conducted by Patel with Iranian philosopher Ali Alizadeh. This 1,500 word text - itself about the history of censorship in Iran - has been reproduced 1,500 times. In real-world installations, people join together, taking turns to censor the text: blocking it out word-by-word. However the rules set for the censor are such that a different word is left visible in each copy. As a result, no single version of the text offers more than a trace of its content but collectively, they present it in its entirety.

The Letter

Experimental design hacks to reflect and circumvent intellectual property restrictions. Fahrenheit 451, a novel by Ray Bradbury, is presented via a web interface and also in print form (print on demand). Several filters offered to users are in place in order to reflect intellectual property restrictions or allowed practices, such as Fair Use. These filters offer a means to circumvent these restrictions by transforming the content. The reader can choose the filter through which s/he wants to "view" the text, each filter being more or less legal.

Compressionism

A free software project that uses a scanner and a laptop to bypass Amazon's DRM by scanning Kindle pages one by one, cleaning up the images, and converting the file into plain text. The resulting plain text version of the book can then be modified, adapted, and shared freely. The text can't expire or be deleted by a private company. It can't be controlled by obscure terms of service that chip away your rights or try to lock you into a manufacturer's empire.

The Deathwatch is meant to be a central indicator of websites and networks that are shutting down, or to serve as an indicator of what happened to particular sites that shut down quickly. New sites should be added in chronological order, newest death date first. Forward-looking death dates should be added to the first list only. Sites large enough to warrant additional information will receive a dedicated page, linked from here.

Compressionism is a digital performance and analog archive, where I strap a desktop scanner, laptop and custom-made battery pack to my body, and perform images into existence. I might scan in straight, long lines across tables, tie the scanner around my neck and swing over flowers, do pogo-like gestures over bricks, or just follow the wind over water lilies in a pond.

text2image is an online tool that does exactly as the name describes, but in a different way than one might expect. Rather than creating a typographic based image of the live text submitted, this tool renders an abstract image that is the digital translation of the input text. The results remain consistent for any given entry, however will change greatly through alternate keying.

With recent mistakes by companies and organizations not knowing how to properly censor online documents, its easy to see why people believe the text they can’t see can’t be read. And with computer illiterate people like Rush Limbaugh, it is easy to befuddle them with the apperance of censored text on the web pages they commonly visit.

In order for communication to work, previously designed standards have to be adhered to. Every language is such a standard. The entire world of the Internet is based on numerous standards and protocols. Every protocol is a set of agreements, accomplishing a specific assignment on the net.

By interconnecting an extensive range of positions on statelessness in an unanticipated way, the stateless plug-in generates an unpredicted non-linear and dynamic storyline with space for unanticipated thoughts and connections. This project offers a critical comment towards the lack of attention on the issue by beseeching the users attention through the infiltration of their usual browsing behaviour.

Lower Manhattan’s 60 Hudson Street is one of the world’s most concentrated hubs of Internet connectivity. Set in the dense, mixed-use neighborhood of Tribeca, this Art Deco tower was once the global headquarters of Western Union. Now, it conceals several network interconnection facilities where huge amounts of data are exchanged. This short documentary peeks inside, offering a glimpse of the massive material infrastructure that makes the Internet possible.

Dump is a work about abstract language. Communication which pretends to say something, but does not. The substance seams meaningless and incomprehensible. The work interconnects abstract spam-mail texts with schizophasia, a disorganized speech characteristic of schizophrenia. In the psychotic disorder of schizophrenia, the ability to filter and process information is disturbed.

IPicons are unique visual avatars for every internet protocol address on the planet. The goal of the project is to give people a visual representation of their net presence that can be easily identifiable by themselves and others. Their appearance is a direct abstraction from the numeric values in their IP address.

In late 2010 the infamous "Rubygate" case made it into the headlines revealing that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi threw parties, or rather orgies at his private villas known as "bunga bunga". Berlusconi is currently being investigated for extortion and child prostitution.
Repetita iuvant focuses on the transcript of a secretly recorded telephone conversation of a young woman who was invited to such a supposed "dinner with the Prime Minister". The telephone conversation which Laura Macchini re-staged with the help of two actors, talks about what the woman thought of the party, and how conflicted she felt. The visitors can listen to the recording of the telephone conversation (in Italian), read the English subtitles, select passages of the script they feel drawn to - or offended by - in particular. In this way the painful testimony of a single person becomes the testimony of many, thus turning into a commentary on and an accusal of the contemporary Italian political landscape.
