Matthew Fuller/Scotoma.org - BallPool matthew fuller <matt@axia.demon.co.uk> A figure is trapped inside a children's softplay structure. No door, no window - vinyl and foam. Moving through the story sentence by sentence, the user automatically links the text backwards and forwards across its body. These links are generated by a word frequency table mapping the occurrence of words read, shaping and mirroring the processes occurring in the trapped figure. This text contains 308 different words. Harwood/Scotoma.org - Waste_Words Their Weight & Frequency in London's Minicipial Rubbish Harwood@scotoma.org A street waste basket was cleaned at 8:00am on 8th February 2001 ( the 414th Anniversary of the beheading of Mary Queen of Scots) 24 hours later the cleaner collected all the items left. Each item was weighed and photographed. All of the words occurring on every item of rubbish were then transcribed. From this table of information the frequency and weight of words disposed of per day in London has been calculated. _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
