»As the title implies the exhibition will present ten programs in BASIC that the visitor can add and change things to. The programs will be presented in an installation consisting of eight, vintage, Spectrum ZX computers in complete setup with cassette player and TV. Visitors with knowledge of the once popular but now obsolete programming language BASIC will be encouraged to modify these programs and through this make their addition to the exhibition.« (http://www.electrohype.org/rom/jodi/index.html)

The Conceptual Crisis of Private Property as a Crisis in Practice
sebastian luetgert, 2004
»The Conceptual Crisis ... is a screenshot (crisis.png) that shows, among various other things, the source code of a piece of software (crisis.php) and its documentation (crisis.txt). The code, once executed, will transform the screenshot into the full text of Neal Stephenson's novel "Cryptonomicon". The Conceptual Crisis ... is not an actual, but a virtual computer program: an image of piece of software that still has to be created by copying, saving and running its source code. While the screenshot may be the "intellectual property" of Robert Luxemburg, the program itself is free software and may be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The Conceptual Crisis ... is part of a series of copyright circumvention devices - walser.php, pngreader - that try to exploit the structural flaws in the concept of "intellectual property". It is intended to practically illustrate the assumption that digital data will always escape copyright protection and that "digital rights" will never be "manageable".« http://www.rolux.net/crisis/index.php?crisis=documentation

genesis, eduardo kac, 1998/99
“Genesis (1998/99) is a transgenic artwork that explores the intricate relationship between biology, belief systems, information technology, dialogical interaction, ethics, and the Internet. Genesis has live DNA music synthesis by Peter Gena and genetic consultation by Dr. Charles Strom. The key element of the work is an ”artist's gene”, i.e. a synthetic gene that I invented and that does not exist in nature. This gene was created by translating a sentence from the biblical book of Genesis into Morse Code, and converting the Morse Code into DNA base pairs according to a conversion principle which I developed specifically for this work. The sentence reads: ”Let man have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” This sentence was chosen for its implications regarding the dubious notion of humanity's (divinely sanctioned) supremacy over nature. Morse Code was chosen because, as first employed in radiotelegraphy, it represents the dawn of the information age—the genesis of global communications.” (http://www.aec.at/en/archives/festival_archive/festival_catalogs/festival_artikel.asp?iProjectID=8342)

»Theo Jansen, artist, studied science at the
University of Delft Holland. The first seven
years being a artist he just made paintings.
Then he starts a project with a big flying
saucer, which could really fly. It flew over the
town of Delft in 1980 and brought the people
in the street and the police in commotion.
Since about ten years he is occupied with the
making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds
but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic
material of this new nature. He makes
skeletons which are able to walk on the wind.
Eventually, he wants to put these animals out
in herds on the beaches, so they will live their
own lives.« (http://www.strandbeest.com/)
Svargas, Laukosargas Svarog, 2006
Laukosargas Svarog created an interdependent ecosystem populated by artificial life forms populating her virtual plot of land, an area called Svargas, in the massive multiplayer environment Second Life (Linden Labs 2002). Her land is populated by flowers, trees, bees, and bats. The flowers grow with the sun and the water that falls on the land from the clouds roaming the sky. Bees distribute virtual pollens of the flowers. A plant receiving pollen from another of the same species produces a seed. The seed grows to be an independent plant. To keep the system in stability, birds sometimes land near the plants to pick seeds and even chase the bees. Laukasargas witnesses the fragile emergence of a stable system:
»It's very sensitive to very small changes ... like if a gene emerges which gives a plant an extra seed in its lifetime, that can cause huge growth in its locale. And the opposite of course, one less causes thinning growth. I've also seen the same color become a dominant gene so all the meadow cup plants became blue once. Simple things like that emerge quite often.« (Au 2006)
Laukosargas' goal in creating the world is pure playfulness. She rejects academic or scientific objectives admitting instead: »I love it-- for fun, you play god. Everyone needs a hobby.« (Au 2006). Laukosargas is driven by playfulness and curiosity. She appropriates Second Life for her very personal goals, building an environment beyond the intention of the game's designers.

»In cybernetics and control theory, feedback is a process whereby some proportion or in general, function, of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input. Often this is done intentionally, in order to control the dynamic behavior of the system. Feedback is observed or used in various areas dealing with complex systems, such as engineering, architecture, economics, and biology. Continuous feedback in a system is a feedback loop.«http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

»An autopoietic machine is a machine organized (defined as a unity) as a network of processes of production (transformation and destruction) of components which: (i) through their interactions and transformations continuously regenerate and realize the network of processes (relations) that produced them; and (ii) constitute it (the machine) as a concrete unity in space in which they (the components) exist by specifying the topological domain of its realization as such a network.«

»The Website was conceived by the student James Baumgartner and then sold to the austrian business-artists Hans Bernhard (founder of etoy [5]) and Lizvlx from UBERMORGEN.COM[1] in Austria and (V)ote-auction Inc. in Sofia/Bulgaria [a subsidiary of the UBERMORGEN.COM group] for a undisclosed sum.

»this very useful platform [ipnic] grew out of our project [V]ote-auction. during the [V]ote-auction operation in fall 2000, an american court [circuit court of cook county, chicago] issued a temporary injunction against the "individuals" [ubermorgen, james baumgartner, and others] behind [V]ote-auction. this injunction was then sent out per email to corenic, the dns-registrar in geneva/switzerland. after receiving this email, corenic decided to shut down all dns-services on the domain vote-auction.com without notice. the jurisdiction of an american court order does obviously not include switzerland, the delivery of a court-order cannot be official via email, nevertheless we were offline. but, thanks to this creative action and reaction, we were inspired to build a public shutdown-service.«http://ipnic.org/intro.html
»is there any web-site you wanna take off the web using a highly subversive method? on our server, you auto-generate an "INJUNCTION" [.pdf/.rtf format], a standard court-order, claiming the target-website to operate on an illegal basis. this document will then be sent to the appropriate dns-registrar [dns=domain name service], to the owner of the web-site and possibly to some journalists for legal and public processing. all you have to do is to simply fill out a form and send it off, it will take you not more than 15 minutes. if the web-site is taken down we will inform you via email.«http://ipnic.org

»I personally think that if you have a space and decide to show net works, you can also present it to people who are not used to computers. And you could also give the artists the opportunity to add things to their installation. I think it is very important for net artists to deal with the presentation, or they will be re-presented by other people; for example, designers who are asked to design to exhibition space. That's the worst. One should avoid that at all costs. All the different works disappear in the set up by the one guy who deals with the real space. The real space is of course much more powerful than all these networks. When you are viewing the work you are in the real space. If you only do your work on the net, you become a fragment of the local situation and you can easily become manipulated in any direction.«http://www.heise.de/tp/english/special/ku/6187/1.html
