Interesting application of art and computers. I like the contrast of physical space to a computer network where there is essentially none

Richard Rostrom (urrostro@bgu.edu) from ip160-227.neiu.bgu.edu comments:

Amusing concept... Unfortunately the "video status" pages show nothing but a video display showing hash, with a mysterious dingbat in front of it, and a vast black shadow beyond it. The kinetic aspect of this artwork is lost if one cannot perceive or even envision its movement.

Stephen Norris (srn@cs.su.oz.au) from wwwproxy.info.au comments:

So, if we all talk about art in computer newsgroups the thing will slow down? So much for keeping on topic. How can we make it go faster instead? Never post anything about art at all?

If you discuss art, the machine slows down; if you discuss computers, it speeds up. What happens if you post spam - does it spontaneously combust?

I have seen the sculpture in the Austrian pavillion, but I can't envision it actually moving. I liked the pavillion though and especially the Coop Himmelb(l)au remoddeling of the exterior. Otherwise I think it is a nice concept to have your sculpture commented on in this way.

Samantha Simpson (samsim@sirius.com) from slip187.sirius.com comments:

This project sounds like a cyber Chris Burden rip- off. It's is a little more interesting because it plays upon people's fear of computers, but I don't really understand why this kind of melodrama is so compelling to the art world- it's a way that artists up the ante on their work, but it's still melodrama. It seems particularly like male art targeted to the art world- large scale, intellectual content that only condescends to address the individual through a threat.

Ich war als Kameramann für den ORF vor Ort und hatte die nicht ganz einfache Aufgabe TS4 zu filmen. Ich freue mich über den sichtbaren Fortschritt von TS4, von dem ich mich nun via homecomputer überzeugen konnte. Den Weg durchs INTERNET hierher zu finden, war allerdings extrem schwer, nachdem ich die Adresse verloren hatte. Über eine Uni in Venedig ist mir nun endlich der Einstieg gelungen. Herzlichen Gruß aus Wien und Gratulation zur Auszeichnung.

Tara Drennen (TaraCD@aol.com) from www-b4.proxy.aol.com comments:

I dunno, I'd like to see it move, actually. Maybe a logorythmic process so it moves faster now, slowing (shortening the increments) as it gets closer to the wall? More suspense at the end, more movement now...

Jim Maurer (jim@specialix.com) from 192.65.145.31 comments:

I'm finally responding to your spam to see what the heck this thing is about. I've never seen such a pretentious bunch of "artspeak" before. Couldn't you think up any more nouns to verbize? It also looks like the thing is only moving about 1 mm per day, if that! All the pictures are identical, it seems. Looks like we'll have to start cranking out more articles to get this thing moving faster! So who put up the money for this piece of crap, anyway? At least you're not going to have it kill a baby animal or something!

Tom Sherman (twsherma@mailbox.syr.edu) from syru78-036.syr.edu comments:

T.S.4. begs for attachments. Something to ride the rail on the way in to paydirt! I find it interesting that the defense team for the O.J. Simpson trial predicts the case may be put to the jury around the same time as the CRASH/non-crash. It strikes me that as an individual I would love to help the rail complete its mission, but as part of a community of art voyeurs I'm inclined to accept the snail's pace. No need to check our watches...we're simply engaged with something inert but potentially moving. Hope is so emotional. Thanks for the tiniest sense of control T.S.4-ever.

Bob Trosper (btrosper@novell.com) from btrosper.appware.provo.novell.com comments:

The object itself seems rather ugly - at least in the pictures I receive it looks rectangular, with some faintly reddish areas on a large monorail. The concept is rather pedestrian and would seem a waste of computer resources. Why measure the VOLUME of conversation when the quality is far more important? Do you count the pictures newsgroups as ART or COMPUTER by the way - or both? And is it all pictures or just "fine art"? How bogus. And now, goodnight.

Allon Ivri (a1i@aol.com) from www-c5.proxy.aol.com comments:

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha I saw your sculpture in the Austrian pavilion. The Austrian assistant there was kind enough to let me know that the motion of the sculpture is a farce. I can respect your need for this type of feedback from your audience, but is it neccesary to fool us all? what are you trying to accomplish? We, your lowly audience deserve more than your laughter. Is this the "revenge of the artist" - now you are watching us? Or are you really attempting to extend your art into our lives - to make it into a dialogue?

I arrived at this site through a linklist I found after watering the plants in the TeleGarden (cwis.usc.edu/dept/garden). I liked it a lot better to construct than to prevent something from destruction. The installation does make any effort to save the pavillion look entirely ridiculous. The only action psychologically triggered from the net-participants is speeding up the destruction of a temporal building...

I was just cleaning up my bookmarks and saw I still had for this thing, so I thought I'd check to see if this page was still here. So, the thing crashed into the wall. When did it happen? Reading through the remarks from someone who visited the thing I see that it was all a farce and really wasn't controlled by Internet posts. So, I guess the artist was just running a bit scam. I wonder how much he got for making it? Do the people who paid him know it was a hoax? Also, I see that now this comment page seems to just have a bunch of spam'ed advertisements on it. How fitting since the artist kept annoying people on all sorts of newsgroups and mailing lists with posts about his "work of art". Guess nobody's maintaining this site now! Maybe we can know just crash this system by posting gigabytes of comments to this form! Anybody want to guess the date and time that'll happen???
