ways. |

An Automobile Site optimized for hi-fi connections. It spotlights
scores of automotive websites, online leasing companies, parts and
accessories vendors, and carmag sites. Maybe looks at what e-comm
sites will be, as sound and video become more a part of browsing experience.
It doesn't provide quite the answers that you want but gives a browsing
experience that is new and definitely over the edge. |

Some excellent projects done by these guys using DHTML and Sound. |
||
| 11) | http://www.urbanexpress.co.uk | |
|
Urbanexpress is a creative hub for voyeurs roaming the empty streets
of cyberspace. It is an off-ramp onto the streets of the real. It
is a travel guide to forgotten places that we see everyday, and sometimes
never at all. Urbanexpress is about playful research; making apparent
the hidden recesses of everyday geographies. It is about no smoking
signs and lonely stairwells, pre-recorded messages and reflective
glass towers. It is an escalator to underground passageways. Urbanexpress
is about the glory of the mundane and a corrosive force against it.
These are the fluxual aesthetics of the urban landscape... |

| 12) | http://www.sawedoffdesign.com/versus/index.htm | |
|
Two designers take turns providing their own interpretations of each
other's work. Beginning with an original image & cycling back-and-forth
between each with the product, leaving it entirely to the other designer
to modify it as they wish under the time constraint of one hour. The
process is repeated until one designer gives up or tires. The results
are posted at this site. |

| 16) | Engage.net | |
|
Engage.net presents a selection of Internet projects that are centrally
concerned with photography, that makes use of the distributed structure
of the Net and that exploit the particularities of the medium: its
global accessibility, communication facilities, and its ability to
construct new forms of public awareness. Following the theme of the
biennial, 'Engagement', the selection focuses on projects that have
a social, cultural or political intention. They illustrate the possibilities
of combining the medium of photography with that of the Internet,
and they are exemplary for an effective application of inter-medial
strategies. Engage.net is a project by V2_Organisation for the Fotobiennale
Rotterdam 2000, 1 April - 7 May. |

Entertainment Network http://www.walkerart.org/gallery9/ |
|
|
Art Entertainment Network (AEN) is an online exhibition from the Walker
Art Center of more than 40 Web-based projects that exploit the convergence
of media on the Internet in order to explode the boundaries between
art and entertainment-- and daily (online) life. All these projects
are designed to be viewed, experienced, participated in, and played
with online-from Natalie Bookchin's video game like "The Intruder"
to participatory projects such as Mark Napier's "(c)bots" to new forms
of narrative such as Auriea Harvey's "An Anatomy" to Ken Goldberg
and Bob Farzin's mysterious "web cam", "Dislocation of Intimacy."

| 18) | SFMOMA- E-space | |
|
"As the museum of modern art confronts the reality
of works produced in digital media, it must meet yet another challenge
to the integrity and logic of its method of presenting art. Throughout
the past century, the museum's traditional role as the framer of single
and valuable objects has been challenged by artists who embrace technologies
of mass reproduction, who appreciate everyday objects, or who create
ephemeral work. Consequently, the institution has had to continually
find new means of maintaining its control, value and identity. If
we accept the idea that a museum is an institution that enhances and,
some might even say, creates art by framing objects and images, then
the museum must respond to the installation, performance, and digital
artists who demand new ways of framing their work." -Aaron Betsky, SFMOMA curator of architecture, design, and digital projects. |

| 19) | Digital Innovators | |
Examination: health science Exploration: natural history Imagination: art Immersion Entertainment: Sports |
What do the sea floor and cyberspace, the imagination and the inside
of the human eye share in common? Each are frontiers for ground breaking
innovations in digital photography. Digital innovation showcases the
achievements of four visionary "wired" photographers who take photography
to the digital frontier as they explore diverse dimensions of our
world and human experience. "Technology opens many different pathways. We have always talked about capturing the moment. Now that is on a new level. Digital Photography is quick, easy, and has a global reach." -C. Smith, president, Digital and Applied Imaging & SVP, Eastman Kodak Company. |

| http://www-eu.philips.com/connected/ Connected Planet: Scenarios for a new market place. How do we communicate in the future? Slowly, but surely, we will see more technology embedded into the objects of our everyday existence, freeing designers from the restrictions dictated until now by technology. It is an evolutionary process; of which connected pl@net is only the latest step. To share our insights with you we have made 3 videos of our first designs. Are they plausible? Are they preferable? Are they viable? Are they sustainable? Watch the three VIVO movies here, they represent 3 future convergence scenarios. It is better if you see this site in IE4 or 5, as this will get the VIVO player for you quickly. See other themes at The Philips Theme Library ---------------------------------------------------- http://www.vmail-kids.com/ http://www.vchat-chat.com/ There's more to communication than picking up the telephone or using plain-old email - see for yourself at our special video mail website for kids. Packed with stories, ideas, games and competitions - it shows just how easy making a video mail is. All you need is a PC video camera to produce a funky pop video to email to your friends, or two send birthday greetings to friends and family on the other side of the globe. ---------------------------------------------------- http://www.nokia.com/snowboard/future_dreams.html How about a phone that listens to you, won't mind a shower, and plays music on those long rides on the chairlift? We asked wired snowboarders to dream about the future. ---------------------------------------------------- http://www.ericsson.com/WAP/benefits/ WAP services can be of great help in many situations. But it's probably not until you find yourself in a situation where you want certain information fast that you realize its true value. This comic strip shows you some of the benefits of WAP. |
