This collaborative multimedia installation is composed of a suspended grid of more than two hundred small electronic screens that display fragments of texts culled in real time from thousands of unrestricted Internet chat rooms, bulletin boards and other public forums. Dissociating the communication from its conventional on-screen presence, the project presents the texts according to the frequency of randomly selected words, topics emerging and changing from hour to hour and day to day.

Re: [Air-l] The History of that "Other" Internet: PLATO

Quite scary that this just popped up: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/01/business/yourmoney/01BOSS.html New York Times December 1, 2002 Speaking Mind to Mind By Ray Ozzie [Written with Glenn Rifkin] There's no question that right from birth, I was a nerd. My grandfather was a sheet-metal worker for the Illinois Central Railroad, and he had this great workshop in our house. I was fascinated watching him bend sheet metal into things like a pot for my grandmother. I got the entrepreneur's bug from my father. He founded his own insurance agency, and as a kid I would hang out at the office, stuffing envelopes, doing odd jobs. My father taught me: if you have a passion, go with it. He loved people, talking to clients. But he said to me: "Never become an insurance broker. I know you. You're not the type." Instead, he encouraged my love of technology. He brought home chemistry sets, dry cells, light bulbs, switches and things like that. I built signaling devices around the house. We built a crystal radio set together. I had my career-defining moment in college, in the early 1970's. I was an electrical engineering major at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and had a job as an electronic technician. On my way to work, I kept passing this building that had a strange orange glow emanating from the windows. I looked in and saw people sitting at rows and rows of terminals. The system was called Plato, a computer system built in the late 1960's by Don Bitzer, Paul Tenczar and an amazing team of bright, eccentric, creative individuals. It was unique and way ahead of its time. Of course, I wangled myself a job as a systems programmer on Plato. There were a thousand terminals connected to the mainframe, half on campus and the other half at universities around the world. It was amazing. It had instant messaging, e-mail, online discussions, interactive games. Remember, this was 1974! I was assigned to work on a project online with a programmer in a different part of Urbana-Champaign. We worked for months without meeting. We'd use instant messaging, which on Plato displayed a message in real time, keystroke by keystroke. My partner was obviously brilliant but an incredibly bad typist. It was excruciating, waiting for each letter. He constantly made mistakes. When I finally met him, I was stunned: he was a quadriplegic and had been typing with a stick held in his lips. I realized at that moment that the computer was a medium that enabled communication with people mind to mind, regardless of their physical well-being. You can work with someone without prejudice, and their true talents will be shown. And from then on, I started to focus on how computers could help people work together more effectively. After graduation, I said to myself, "By hook or crook, I am going to build software to recreate the interactive environment I'd used with Plato." That thought led to the creation of Lotus Notes, which sits on nearly 100 million desktops, as well as everything else I've done. --- Ray Ozzie is chief executive of Groove Networks, a software company in Beverly, Mass.

Re: Sociedad digital

If I am not mistaken this is not the first time that this communique is sent to our list. And to many others, and to individuals (I just get one, again, although I protested several times). It does not present the latest news about this endeavour but is a basic promotional pamphlet whose distribution is close to Spam. As I stressed after earlier postings, the claim of this group to be "the first forum to portuguese and spanish speaking specialists, under the structure of an internet gate", even with the mention of a particular technical platform, is inexact, if it points to chronology, and excessive, not to say more, if it points to importance. It is also intriguing that a portal open to all so conspicuoulsy avoids links to other regional endeavours in the same area (e.g. http://funredes.org/mistica) Even though the latter are conducting for quite a while investigations that are only contemplated by "Sociedad Digital". The latter is however offering courses to the business community, though not for profit and claiming to reinvest the return into the yet to be launched investigation programme. The choice of material presented is not less intriguing than the list of sponsors is impressive. The apparent contradictions in the picture of this organization makes one wonder what it is really about and trying to achieve. And perhaps also points to the ease with which "cyberempires" can be built. Michel J.

Ethics statement adoption
by Steve Jones 15 Dec '02

15 Dec '02

Colleagues: We are very pleased to announce that the ethics committee document on Internet research ethics was unanimously approved by voting members at the close of the vote on midnight, Wednesday, November 27, 2002. For the first time, there now exists a relatively complete ethics statement tailored to the distinctive venues and methodologies of Internet research, one which - like the professional ethics codes of other disciplinary organizations - reflects the considered ethical judgments, insights, and practices of those active in the multiple fields of Internet research. Researchers, students, ethicists, and related institutional bodies and academic organizations in the domain of Internet research may now turn to the ethics document as at least a starting point for their inquiries and reflection. This starting point reflects not only nearly two years of collaborative effort of the ethics working committee, as composed of ethicists and researchers from 11 different countries - but also the endorsement of aoir members at large. Of course, as we noted in the pre-vote discussion of the document, while the document stands as something of a milestone in the development of Internet research ethics - it is by no means the final word. Rather, the ethics working committee will continue to explore and debate how new experiences, issues and insights affiliated with Internet research evoke ethical challenges and demand ethically justifiable resolutions. Just as the current document was immeasurably enriched by comments and contributions from aoir members - we very much hope that the aoir membership will continue to call attention to issues and resources in Internet research ethics for debate and deliberation by the ethics working committee. As the ethics working committee thus elaborates and refines the current document, it will be returned to aoir members in updated form for your review, comment, and, where appropriate, endorsement. Our thanks, finally, not only to the many aoir members who contributed in a variety of ways to the document - but also to the members of the ethics working committee who have worked for nearly two years to develop an ethics statement with a daunting job description: * it must reflect the wide diversity of disciplinary approaches - in both the social sciences and the humanities - to Internet research; * it must take in and, where possible, coherently synthesize the diverse ethical approaches and cultural traditions represented among the global community of Internet researchers; * it must address a wide audience - researchers, ethicists, students, and professionals engaged in Internet research in a variety of capacities - in ways that are both well-grounded in philosophical ethics and immediately practical for researchers and others with varying degrees of familiarity with ethics as a discipline; and * it must meet the approval of aoir members! The members of the ethics committee have undertaken this task with unstinting generosity, insight, and spirited but collegial debate. If you ever find the ethics document to be useful, it is these people you will want to thank: Poline Bala - Malaysia; Amy Bruckman - USA; Sarina Chen - USA; Brenda Danet - Israel/USA; Dag Elgesem - Norway; Andrew Feenberg - USA; Stine Gotved - Denmark; Christine M. Hine - UK; Soraj Hongladarom - Thailand; Jeremy Hunsinger - USA; Klaus Jensen - Denmark; Storm King - USA; Chris Mann - UK; Helen Nissenbaum - USA; Kate O'Riordan - UK; Paula Roberts - Australia; Wendy Robinson - USA; Leslie Shade - Canada; Malin Sveningson - Sweden; Leslie Tkach - Japan; John Weckert - Australia. With gratitude and all best wishes, Steve Jones President, Association of Internet Researchers Professor of Communication University of Illinois at Chicago/USA Charles Ess Director, Interdisciplinary Studies Center Drury University 900 N.
