From a current ITP student…<\/p>\n
April 15, 2008<\/p>\n
Dear ITP Alumni List,<\/p>\n
I recently received a commission for a web based project and am
\nlooking for a Flash Developer \/ Programmer who might be interested in
\nworking with me\/collaborating on this project. I have a modest
\nhonoraria to offer. The project would involve some image live
\nprocessing, the implementation of RSS feeds and some data base work.<\/p>\n
I am happy to share credit and open to new ideas and your input about
\nthe project. I would like to begin work this Summer as the needs to
\nbe finished by the end of 2008.<\/p>\n
Please send me an email if you are interested and I can explain a bit
\nmore about the piece.<\/p>\n
A description of the project is below, To get an idea of what the
\nsite could look like please visit:<\/p>\n

A bit more about the project:<\/p>\n
TITLE: Without A Trace<\/p>\n
Without a Trace will be a project that brings together my daily
\nrituals finding a permanent home for them as a constantly self
\nupdating webpage. For Without A Trace I will create a webpage that
\nrandomly juxtaposes an altered image from the comic “Real Life”, a
\nscan of a trace drawing I have created, the computer’s trace of a
\ncurrent news image, live text drawn from the internet that fills in
\nthe empty thought bubbles, and a live headline from the NY Times’ RSS
\nfeed.<\/p>\n
The purpose of this project will be to dynamically juxtapose live and
\nsaved imagery and texts to comment on the changing nature of our
\ndaily communications. I will collect and create images on a daily
\nbasis (for the duration of one year) amassing a total of 365 images
\nfor each collection. These images will be uploaded to the server and
\na program will be created that displays a different configuration of
\nimages each day. This work will be about that daily experience and
\nits subsequent re-presentation.<\/p>\n
The website I create will consist of a single page. I do not expect
\npeople to linger on this page but rather to visit it periodically to
\nsee how it has changed. The image and text feeds will be live so if
\nbreaking news occurs the text feeds will change, otherwise there will
\nbe a single montage created for each day of the year. A program will
\nalso be written that saves a screen shot of these pages creating an
\narchive of the site. These images will be collected and visible as a
\nvisual calendar to viewers who choose to investigate the projects
\nhistory.<\/p>\n
The title Without A Trace has multiple meanings. A trace references a
\nmemory. It is what remains when almost everything else disappears. A
\ntrace is an action. One traces an image or traces over something.
\n‘Without a trace’ is also the phase we use to refer to something that
\nhas disappeared leaving no record. The news is ephemeral, as is the
\nnewspaper. It has a given structure yet its online content changes
\ncontinually. I will take these disappearing elements and bring them
\ntogether for the time they are viewed on the webpage. However, like
\nall web content these juxtapositions will disappear when the browser
\nis closed. Only to live in memory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
