in another funny twist, the most effective way for me to make this vrsn was to open all imgs in Preview + then scr rec myself scrolling thru them, which is in fact a technique that Dain is also using in her experimental Machinima works
when jon.satrom downloads the video he will add the frame (conceptually + literally) + compile the final DVD
we worked out the audio together tonite + it snds rly good. the audio is generated from the foofoofoo project by ALKU/IMBECIL. this project creates algorithmic mashups from the preferences defined by user's iTunes libraries. the library we used was the archive of the R4WD10PL4Y84CK800M80X0R AKA Radio Play Back Boom Boxor, the audio companion to the 0P3NFR4M3W0RK project. we previously featured the foofoofoo project in the 2006.01.21 (A) r4WB1t5 micro.Fest @ ENEMY in CHI IL .US
2756 in 0P3NFR4M3W0RK turns out that we now have 2756 (digital art) img files in the 0P3NFR4M3W0RK archive. jon.satrom + i are now sitting + working together to create the DVD for Dain Oh'sTHE WEB OF COKAYNGE; CANDLE AND BELL screening program. we are now approaching the production of the DVD from various non-FCP angles to try to get around the General Error i posted prevously...
preparing 0P3NFR4M3W0RK for Dain Oh's THE WEB OF COKAYNGE; CANDLE AND BELL screening program i am currently preparing the 0P3NFR4M3W0RK archive for Dain Oh'sTHE WEB OF COKAYNGE; CANDLE AND BELL screening program this Sunday @ the Nightengale in CHI IL .US @ 5 PM.

0P3NFR4M3W0RK has previously been installed at the Distribution Religion exhibition @ The Art Gallery of Knoxville, the 2005.08.27 (A) r4WB1t5 micro.Fest @ Alterspace in CHI IL .US + will be including in the ongoing (A) r4WB1t5 micro.Fest project.
for THE WEB OF COKAYNGE; CANDLE AND BELL screening program jon.satrom + i determined that the best soln would be to provide a DVD as this is the 1rst time that 0P3NFR4M3W0RK has been shown in a screening program rather than exhibited/installed.
working on the DVD i imported the current database (db) of the archive into Final Cut Pro (FCP) + found that there are 2770 imgs (according to FCP)...
but attempting to render the video (which would have been about 4 minutes long) resulted in a General Error. so i am now manually playing back the timeline in FCP by moving the playhead ahead 1 frame @ a time while screen recording the Canvas window as it plays back the Sequence. then i am dumping the scr rec's to DV piece by piece... it is a slow + ridiculous process but funny in the sense that i am digitally hand animating this screening version of the 0P3NFR4M3W0RK project for a program about Animated GIFs, early cinema + New Media Art...
"THE WEB OF COKAYNGE; CANDLE AND BELL is an experiment that seeks to place curatorial process in the same realm as art. Through particular selection of work WoC mimics the conventions and histories of cinema as a Modernist medium while at the same time epitomizing the information society by working as a decentralized and interactive database. WoC displays different permutations of the moving image in relation to file formats, search queries and methods of artists and non-artists working with the medium of the Internet.
The Web of Cokaygne; Candle and Bell is a three part screening. In a traditional sense it maintains a beginning, a middle and an end. The first section is 0P3NFR4M3W0RK, an open DIY digital art exhibition initiated by Jon Satrom, instantiated by Dain Oh for the Web of Cokaygne; Candle and Bell and previously at (A) r4WB1t5 micro.Fest (initiated by jonCates and jon.satrom). The second portion is 787 Cliparts, by Oliver Laric. A video in which he displays hand-selected clip art that he has found on the Internet in a manner that suggest continuity in motion and the persistence of vision. The third and final section of WoC is a selection of animated GIFs by both artists and non-artists working with the Internet. The artists include Petra Cortright, Olia Lialina, Guthrie Lonergan, Tom Moody, Jon Satrom and Paul Slocum. The selected GIF's are important examples to reflect the history of the moving image. Examples are gif versions of: a goat found on a bowl from Iran's Burnt City, Muybridge's horse, then moving to commercial cartoons, video games and finally, new media and www gif's. The screening will be executed in real time and accompanied by a live piano performance.
The screening is on the 7th of December, 5 pm @ the Nightingale in Chicago." - Dain Oh
(above is a video is documentation of a section of I <3 Presets website, an aspect of their ongoing project. The I <3 Presets website is itself a work of experimental New Media Art, Web Art, digitalPunk, Dirty New Media, glitchery && Noise. This site is also a part of the ongoing I <3 Presets project, a project that is most often articulated as a realtime audio video + noise project. I <3 Presets is a Chicago-based Noise band + an experimental Media Art project:
"As I LOVE PRESETS, Chicago-based sound and new media artists Rob Ray, Jon Satrom, and Jason Soliday do everything wrong the right way. The trio manipulates found sounds and animated GIFs on home-brewed equipment in spectacular live audio/video performances, breaking down, complicating, and glorifying instrument settings, tool presets, and art-making interfaces normally accepted as fixed and stable. From Excel spreadsheets and video games to hacked Casios and discarded drum machines, any and everything electronic is fair game. Tonight, the trio will play several new pieces and demo their latest instruments and a video game."

Jesper Juul writes in his "Ludologist blog entry Indie Games (like Braid) are Punk Rock" that we should rly wear “I hate World of Warcraft” t-shirts to exxxpress an anti-commercial digitalPunk approach to indy gaming + (i would add) a critical approach to Art Games, as a hystorical reference to a 1970's punk refusal of the bourgeois values, decadence, scale, supposed grandeur + escapism of 1970's psychedilic, symphonic, prog +/or stadium rock. this hystorical reference is specifically to Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols wearing a handMade/defaced "I Hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt... this is the fast, cheap + small scale commitment to "dirty new media art" that we are also attempting to articulate in various projects such as jake elliott's"Dirty New Media" presentation @ the most recent (+ perhaps last) HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) conference, our collaborative projects such as 4RtcR4x0Rz + our open, ongoing + decentralized organization of (A) r4WB1t5 micro.Fest
