 conceptual software subcategories: > without hardware - formal instruction (4) twenty-seven projects in this top-level category Standardized Blog Entry by Soenke Ziesche This project tries to combine two trends in web publishing for which is it probably not so apparent to combine them: on the one hand the overwhelming popularity of blogging, on the other hand the attempts towards standardized content. Structuring content in such a manner is a means in order to make it understandable by machines which would e.g. support the development of a semantic web.

[...] [ go to project page ] LYCAY (Let Your Code plAY) by Ilia Malinovsky Rhythm and music are the earliest and most natural forms of human self-expression; they are also methods of transmission and perception of information. Rhythm and music act not only on the level of consciousness, but also on the one of subconsciousness, creating images. Programming as a kind of art is a process of operating with pure semantic forms, which means the highest level of involvement of [...] [ go to project page ] Animated processor by Andrei Terechko “Animated processor” is a hardware microprocessor, which inherits various human qualities. Contemporary PC processors (like an Intel Pentium or IBM PowerPC) have an instruction set and state tailored towards computation. In contrast, the animated processor possesses a human-like “physiological” and “communicative” state comprised of the sleep_state, talk_state, drink_state and [...] [ go to project page ] self-execute by Matej Smetana Self-executing file [ go to project page ] NaDa by Bernard Bélanger Ultra-lightweight software application that does nothing. The first version was 0.9, a system software extension that did nothing. The current version is 0.5, a single byte file that does nothing, that is completely cross-platform. The website advertises a forthcoming version 0.0, but does not yet give clues about how the software will be further reduced.

You can also create new names/definitions through an evolutionary process. This work came out of a series of questions I kept asking myself about how one's name relates to one's identity.

[ go to project page ] UPDATE `me` by tats UPDATE `me` is a project that deals with information's life cycle. The user comes upon a webpage that shows a piece of text. She can choose to leave it, modify it, or replace it with something new. When doing so, the old piece of text is utterly annihilated, without any possibility of backing up. Every time the site is thus updated, a timestamped "tombstone" is added to a log in one of the [...] [ go to project page ] Scream by Amy Alexander/deprogramming.us Scream is a software application to facilitate screaming. Scream sits quietly in your computer's system tray and automatically springs into action when it detects a scream. Scream disturbs your Windows interface. But it isn't aimed just at computer frustrations. In a world where "anger" is paired with "management," Scream encourages the return to prominence of the lost art of screaming.

On the other hand this work also is very much set up as a sculpture opposing to a painting. The work is basically about experiencing space. But because of the non-descriptive quality of colour (as also in sound and music) in comparison to physical material it doesn’t allow you to get a grip on [...] [ go to project page ] blink by boris.kopeinig.net description: mindware, visual (self)stimulation pattern additional keywords: frequency following response, high, clear screen, digital happiness, esc edit: check pink boxes to build sequences, use keys x, y and mouse to reposition attention: if you have epilepsy or visual photosensitivity, please do not use the software. [ go to project page ] bigQuestions.com by Myron Turner bigQuestions.com mines web sites and library catalogues for words which signify "big" questions of philosophy and religion, and then creates a searchable database; currently it holds circa 65,000 library and 45,000 web entries. Typically, you search for terms other than the "big" terms to see how they live in the contexts of our culture, and then link to the web sites or library catalogues to [...] [ go to project page ] ImageN by Leander Seige Provides access to a dedicated machine, generating every picture representable by 65536 bits.

A loop has developed. Each of the mail-systems is doing what it has to do. While a mail is in the loop, headerlines will repeat, except the time, that alters.

So all content that is underneath Window becomes it's content. Window does not only shows this content, but you can actually click on the content that is underneath it. Giving it a feel of a material object. I made "Window" in the first place to focus the attention of the user on the nearly always present [...] [ go to project page ] "Exchange what you want with what you want" (E.W.Y.W.W.W.Y.W). by Kritina Lindström, Robert Ek & David Cuartielles "Exchange what you want with what you want" (E.W.Y.W.W.W.Y.W).
