David Lynch Film The Alphabet:  In Alphabet, the subconscious is where the fear of language plays out animated cartoons of  the letters. In defiance of their linear rationalist nature. they pop up and float around out of  order.  Big ‘A’ gives birth to small ‘a’ and some letters grow like plants. The repetition of ‘ABC’  stalls in its struggle to remember a linear sequence.  http://www.horrordiva.com/articles/alphabet.html

Electronic Cruelty:  Gordana Novakovic at the Tate Modern Museum Symposium on Interactivity(http://www.infonoise.net)    http://www.user_mode.net.  Also at  'Conscioussness Reframed,' CAiiA, University of Walles, Newport.   The paper is addressing fear, art and technology with interactive media. The world is divided into a castes defined by technological development in a network of data exchange. The citizens bombarded with the  banality of the media spectacle are overwhelmed with a kaleidoscope of noise: street noise, media-noise, electromagnetic noise, genetic noise. Nature is an ornament, an abstraction. The archaic fear of natural forces is replaced by the fear of technology and eternal progress.

11 Hours of Hot Uncensored Raw Data. From Moebius's art deco sets in 'Tron' to William Gibson's 3D datascapes in 'Neuromancer', many artists have imagined what it might look like inside the machine. Cory Arcangel bypasses such stylized, anthropomorphic visions and simply shows us his raw data, 11 hours worth, in all its glitchy 8-bit nakedness. Arcangel tricked Quicktime into reading the binary data daily passing through his computer's RAM. The result is 'Data Diaries,' a collection of intriguing, abstract data 'movies' (complete with audible bleeps and squawks). Curt Cloninger http://turbulence.org/works/arcangel/

Coding The Code: Better than making interactive software is making the computer language that generates interactive software.  Ben Fry and Casey Reas's Proce55ing is such a meta-language. Influenced by John Maeda at MIT's Media Lab, the pair created a free programming environment with three strengths. http://www.proce55ing.net/

The Blur:  A Macintosh software that continuously reads and visually blends every file on your hard drive by cointinuously reading the harddrive.    Running Ade Ward's software feels a bit like using Mark Napier's 'Riot' browser, except the results are continuously  collaged -- more like a film than a static page.  Autogenerative software wizard Ward calls his program, 'Portrait of Netochka Nezvanova' in homage of the cult programmer of Nato.0+55 fame.   http://www.stub.org/ex/nn/
