Tracking Mouse Movement












I Have always liked the thought of tracking the eye movements and the implications this could have to understanding more about daily live stuff. Today we have more opportunities, we can almost track anything (I don't want to say databodydouble but I think I just did). We can even track our own keyboard strokes and mouse behavior, something I wrote a paper on last year and really freaked me out for a while... But i have to rethink this because I think it might actually be very interesting to track the moves of my mouse through the day, maybe while playing games on my computer or blogging or just browsing. The abstract works of art you could make! excess of information. I started looking for some nice tracker software but honestly, I have trouble trusting them...
More research intended.

Glitch Art













I have been collecting glitches for a while. I want to write a little paper on them, cause i think the exploitation of glitches can be placed within many nice art traditions. Also, glitches seem to make many digital art works material again, or at least partly. I want to look into this digital-material stuff. But I haven't started yet. I think this post should be used as a collection of glitch art-things and theory to get my thought a little bit organized.

Holiday














I just got back from my 2 week trip to France. There I finally found the time to read the new book on Games and Art (Grethe Mitchell and Andy Clark) and it gave me a couple of really cool (i think so anyway) ideas for the lasting summer month.
One of them is a new trip I am currently planning. The focus of this trip will be, as always, to get to know the food, the nature, the sights, the people and traditions of the places I will visit.
I am focussing on MMORPGs that I can download and have a trial version *sooo, my new trip will be budgetty:)***
anyways. now I have to find the time to game like hell and it will all be perfect.

Sunshine in my Throat - a personal site with everyday random thoughts. And little stories. And nonsens.
Scars and Bruises - A site where I look for the secrets behind my scars and bruises. Very sterile and very physical at the same time.
Clouds - I never had the time to describe what I wanted to do on this site. Basically it is a community project without an community. This community is supposed to watch the clouds at the same time, make a photo and post it. Then I wanted to make a map of the photos (sort of 'mapping the clouds').
Knarkhund - part of a project that also involved a videoclip for GOTO80. I wanted to create a webring for the dogs that starred in the video, subverting the social website Hyves (a website like Facebook ea) through remediating it in the blogger community.

Maps













I have been thinking about making maps from all the parts of my old computer and television. they already look or can be understood as maps, but i wanted maybe to merge them with the maps of the metro of the bigger cities. I don't have a clear idea on this yet. I put the first photos on my flickr though.

Cloud Mapping













I never had the time to describe what I wanted to do on this site. Basically it is a community project but yet without a community. This community is supposed to watch the clouds at the same time, make a photo and post it. Then I wanted to make a map of the photos (sort of 'mapping the clouds').
