The web is dead...

[Pentothal]

"Web is Dead.

A play in two acts.

Act I.
Nuclear physics: We invented the Web.
And now it is dead.

Nuclear physics got carefully swept away into different committees to be out of the way of the roaring Web Commerce steered by millionaires.

Millionaire I: I created the Web Browser. I made it able to show pictures. I ignored pathetic whining of those ridiculous Nuclear Physics. Now I'm rich and have nothing to achieve. I'm just getting fatter and fatter. Now I can spread my luminous visions and people will listen and follow as flock of stupid lemmings, because I'm rich and they poor and gullible.
But I will never tell them my real vision: Web is Dead.

Millionaire I relaxes his bloated body in an electric wheel chair, throws several Plug-Ins to the Web Commerce and rolls away escorted by the cohort of eagerly listening slaves

Millionaire II: I invested my money into the Web. It made me a lot of money in return. I cannot distinguish network connector from cigarette lighter, but I can smell the money from hundred miles away. And now I tell you: there is no money in the Web anymore. Web is dead.

Millionaire II jumps out from the Web Commerce charriot, and invests money in now legal marijuana market.

Web Commerce: I fed Web with Money. I believed to the visionairies who told me Web is a gold mine. I spend millions on dull Web Sites. And then I discovered that Web is a bunch of 14-year olds looking for pornography.
Now I broke. And Web is Dead.

Web Commerce gets covered in smoke, feverishly burning money in its Web Engines in an attempt to move away from a dead spot. When smoke disappears, the place is empty."

Complex paradigms of the Web, part I.

How novel ideas make impassable impression on people not prepared to them.

I
Web designer: I'm web designer!
Web surfer: In my opinion, you are ... !

Web designer tries to make a sigle pixel trick and drops dead.
He is got carried out.


II
Server: I'm server!
Client: In my opinion, you are ... !

Server suddenly drops connection, dumps core and dies.
He is got carried out.


III
Browser: I'm browser!
User: In my opinion, you are ... !

Browser gets frozen for several minutes, then crashes.
He is got deleted.


IV
The Coolest Web Site: I'm The Coolest Web Site!
2400 baud modem: In my opinion, you are ... !

The Coolest Web Site tries to transmit
all its images,
all its sounds,
all its animations,
all its Java applets,
all its ActiveX controls,
all its frames...
and dies.
The Coolest Web Site gets taken down. Everybody working on it got fired and then died.

E' considerato il sito più bello del mondo. Non so se in effetti sia il meglio, davvero difficile dirlo, ma è certamente geniale. Giocando come gioca sul linguaggio artistico, mentale di internet. Ha un'idea artistica dietro, l'assurdità intrinseca dei link, di tutti i link, di qualunque link cliccabile, perchè in fondo sono sempre una porta sull'ignoto, e ogni volta che ne clicchi uno in realtà non sai cosa mai potrà esserci dietro: quel sito realizza questo assunto, questo dubbio esistenziale, questa insicurezza, e te ne fa diventare consapevole. Giocando sulle tue paure e sulla tua voglia di essere sorpreso ed emozionato. Ogni volta non sai mai quello che ti capiterà, dove ti porterà la tua scelta. Ogni volta aspetti e riparti, come un piccolo gioiello impuro, tagliuzzato dalle cose, martorizzato da una frenesia implacabile, lanciato a velocità supersonica verso il nulla di una pagina bianca, this page was intentionally left blank. Ogni volta non sai mai cosa te ne fai, di informazioni, di tutti questi dati,
all its images,
all its sounds,
all its animations,
all its Java applets,
all its ActiveX controls,
all its frames...

is the web dead?

...ma questo è style con la s maiuscola!

[Unheimlich]

Non sapevo che fosse il sito più bello del mondo, ma ieri mi ci sono inchiodata per quasi un'ora. Appena ho aperto il thread di Jaki si sono aperte una miriade di finestre ed era come se all'interno del monitor ci fossero un'infinità di farfalle, e da lì era inutile resistere e sono entrata...
Sarà che dopo gli scherzetti di Demian e Skepto ormai, se qualcosa di strano succede mentre sto su Pol, non mi spavento più (e te credo), sarà avevo già visto il sito di binaries.org e l'operazione fatta alla biennale di Venezia dell'anno scorso dove l'opera d'arte era il codice sorgente di un virus informatico, ma absurd è fighissimo.
Credo che la fusione tra html e la figuratività, contando l'estrema accessibilità di tutto ciò che è pubblicato sulla rete, sia veramente una nuova forma d'arte da sfruttare. Io, per esempio, adoro guardare i defacements pubblicati su alldas e attrition. Una sorta di graffitismo virtuale di sicuro, poco legale come il graffito di sicuro, ma l'emozione estetica è assicurata e la creatività, per definizione, non conosce alcun limite, e nè le idee...alla faccia della morte del web!

Jaki, se ne conosci altri, ti prego: STRESSACI L'HARD DIIISK

L'amore ai tempi di internet

"Come to me -- she said -- tonight is that special night -- we will do an electronic search together. He pulled his all-electronic Seekulator 2000 and."

L'orgasmo ai tempi di internet

"The international survey of 1,000 business people, released on Tuesday, said 53 percent admitted to craving information and 54 percent claimed to get a ''high'' when they find what they have been seeking in an electronic search."

Incidenti domestici ai tempi di internet

"From an unrelated story. Man was seriously injured by the
2.5 tonn data bit he found through an electronic search. Incident occured when man attempted to get ''high'' by using this bit as a nasal connection between himself and a new smart toaster device."

Importancy of information is not sign of mental impotence.
information is the most important aspect of page creation. Information should be informative, or at least sensational, contro|versial, so subject will not be objected to further consumption of the information, thus achieving maximum information consumption rate per specimen per period of time. Sometimes, information could be enough to just frolick and frolick and frolick.



frolick? it is

information:::::::::

By surgically removing a piece of an information from the brain of the test monkey, researchers were able to extend subject's life by 34 years and 174 days, thus proving that information is the most dangerous virus since macaroni worm.
