Had a meeting with my supervisor Ryszard Dabek. Only one week until I submit my Masters paper ‘Love as the Mediation of Intimacy’ in for examination. Ryszard shared some links to net art projects that he thought might interest me. The Sheep Market was a particularly interesting work that used Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to commission 10 000 illustrations of sheep facing the left. Each illustrator was paid 0.02 ($US). Also Monument (If it bleeds, it leads) and News Knitter were some other interesting net/works that combined news feeders with unique methods of data visualisation. It was hot today so I didn’t wear any shoes.
