Revs’ Subway Autobiography Page Found: “
From New York Urban Exploration:
‘Down in the tunnels you quickly learn that there are reoccuring names, and these are the names of people who have, years earlier, combed through these very tunnels we explore today. Smith estimates that REVS covered up to 80% of the subway tunnels.
With recent discoveries, we were given with more than enough clues as to where REVS’ obscure ‘first page’ is (which we had all seen in ESPO’s book.) So tonight, we decided to roam the tunnels for it, with an unneccessarily large amount of people who were in it for the adventure. A few of us wanted to see the fabled first page for ourselves. What we discovered was far beyond our wildest imaginations. An entire emergency exit, transformed into what my fellow explorer, Hanvey described as a ’shrine of sorts.’ The walls were wallpapered with old wheatpastes that influenced today’s whole ’street art’ phenomenon. There were drawings that the guy would use to draw on canvas and bolt and cement onto doorways. And in this very spot is where he, again, took graff to a creative new level.’
(Thanks G!)”

networked_performance: “an open forum to discuss network-enabled performance for an international conference in 2006″
What is NETWORKED PERFORMANCE ?
locative media, augmented reality, distributed performance, environmental theatre, pervasive play, immersive gaming, telepresence?…???
Recent technological and telecommunication developments–the internet’s two-way communication model, relatively inexpensive access to computers and networks–have given rise to a powerful and diverse range of creative production, particularly among those not self-defined as artists, resulting in a bleedover between and across disciplines as people explore unconventional uses of tools and technologies. Current activity indicates that trends emergent from computer network based practice are changing the nature of performance.
The idea is to use this blog to generate discussion about emergent forms, current practice, histories, interests, issues and ideas - to explore performance within, through, and across computer networks and disciplines.

It just looks so comfy, and it has that great 60s / 70s design vibe which I love. I bet they’re like a squillion pounds. Site

Check out this music/sound generating instrument thing - looks great! Also check out the website
String Thing: “String Thing, by Benjamin Dove, is a cello-like electronic instrument played by stroking or beating metal rods with the hands. The use of body gestures, variable and visible to the audience, avoids the ‘mechanical’ and visually uncommunicative aspect of computer-based music performances.
![string_thing_13[1].jpg](http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/yyy/string_thing_13%5B1%5D.jpg)
Four parallel metal rods are each divided into a long and a short section by a bridge element. The pressure and position of the fingers on the longer rod section are sensed to control pitch and expression; pressure on the shorter sections controls velocity, attack and volume. MIDI software converts the data into sound and, through magnets under each rod, vibrates the rod according to the pressure it senses, thus returning haptic feedback to the player.
String Thing produces continuous pitch: notes bend seamlessly into each other. Light from a laser pointer above each rod, reflected as a dot on the player’s finger, is detected by a small webcam in the bridge; this movement controls the pitch.
