The system works […]
part of the sponge at http://www.vilt.net/nkdee/flash/dana_8_2.jsp … The neglected table of negligence. The desired table of desire. The indifferent table of indifference. The burning table of Paris. The dying table of death. The sobbing table of sadness. The free table of the people. The itching table of ontology. The female table of gender. The inevitable […]
the way that it works is the way that it works so i must admit i have neglected my regular job for too long again in favour of the Cathedral so now i will have to catch up finn & hookedonancially again so i will not bother anyone too much the next week or so […]
The third of what is beginning to look like a series wants you to use your browsers scroll button to interact with the Flash animation. There’s one animation, consisting of about 40 screenshots from files in the Cathedral played in succession at 25 frames a second. I’ve used a free 24 hour trial period of […]
Mu #2 further expands on the zen koan. This time i’ve gone a a bit into 3d, loading the graphics of the previous version into Maxon’s Cinema 4DXL to build an animation reminiscent of the 9/11 disaster. It’s not very political, though, i just use the event as an illustration of endowing timely constructs with […]
With all the excitement of moving to a new house, i clean forgot to renew the DNS registration for www.vilt.net. It has been renewed now but it will take some time before the account is reactivated.I humbly apologize for my extreme negligence. All pictures here are served from www.vilt.net as well, so you won’t be […]

Either this bad cold of mine is making me hallucinate or here’s the Cathedral manifesting itself allegorically while Katherine Hayles is talking about Wolfram’s cellular automata on one of my screens. In both cases Someone must be having a good time making us suffer. Yes, it’s all true what women say about men having a […]
Because of the way that it is being built, the Cathedral isn’t a very user-friendly place. At least not at this moment. People visit it, they are intrigued, wander about the place a bit and mostly leave it in a state near desperation. What is this all about? Where do I start? What do you […]
In a few hectic weeks we were very busy moving from our old house to our new home in suburbian Kessel-lo. Security was a heavily debated issue when moving this wooden statue of the Cathedral. It’s estimated value is 3.576.156,00 Euro (or American dollars), at least that’s the price i’m selling it for, having no […]
Chroniques du Sacrifice Tamara Lai’s bilingual Sacrifice Chronicles have moved to blogspot.com. The Chronicles are the webzine ofsacrifier le Sacrifice sacrificing , her networked project in progress: a poignant artistic view, both in images animation and text, relating to themes of body, relationships and the position of the artist in our society. Tamara Lai ia […]
NAârt is how i name my art, my method of artistic research. I seriously believe nAârt, or whatever it needs to be called, is rapidly becoming a new, transvergent discipline. Not Art+Science (+…), but a folding of art instances in science instances in art in programming instances…Instances being actualisations of virtualities that have no lack […]
We ‘re very busy decorating our new home,so there’s very little Cathedral time ATM.You can imagine some pictures on tv taking some of the fun out of building your home. Or Cathedrals for that matter.
While i’m all tied up decorating our new home and trying to live up to all the promises i made to some very nice people, the Cathedral and its Residents are getting very jumpy. The Cathedral-Mother is complaining constantly of lack of Coherence, Clarity and Quality in the Cathedral and that i am largely to […]
Picture of the Cathedral-Mother space as generated by the new version of the Pluggable Cathedral Universe at the East Gate It’s still rather dull and simple but at least it looks a bit ‘right’ conceptually now…
) Recent article in Scientific American on OOP and post-OOP: http://www.americanscientist.org/template/AssetDetail/assetid/17307 A ’traditional’ bridge (?) towards what Jared Tarbell is doing so brilliantly these days: Howard Barnhart at http://www.barnhartart.com/ JT Paasch is getting high Cathedral scores in theology and Flash generic programming at http://www.absconditus.com/blog/ Paul Prudence at http://dataisnature.com/ and http://www.slightspace.com/ and http://futurefeeder.com/ seems a good […]
Update to the Starter file at the Cathedral [Written @ the Cathedral:] – I’m trying to build a game here, the Cathedral Game. It’s going to take a long time, because i can only work on it in my spare time. The purpose of the Game is very complicated and mysterious as well as utterly […]
Digital collage(the case for object disoriented programming) by Colin Beardon Interesting overview albeit, imho, with some lacking or insufficient conclusions:– digital collage needs to address the fundamental concepts of computing (OK4dv)– digital objects need to be disruptive (not_entirely_OK4dv: digital _processes_ need to disrupt conceptual objects)– “the Digital Bauhaus needs to be dirty!” (certainly_notOK4dv: it’s another […]

Neue Kathedrale des erotischen Ellends – S – ANKE VELD The Anke Veld Writing Process ’s flipped from its dormant state into an active one yesterday. Nothing on the site (or elsewhere) is save from its workings now. Your (text only) comments / contributions are welcome here or on the Anke Veld Forum
The question was raised on the Rhizome list, and instead of responding there, which would be somewhat pretentious regarding the state of my own craft, i’ll post some remarks here. It was a particularly good day for nAârt today, Jim Andrews’ insightful remarks on these matters coinciding with the release of the ‘procedural’ art/research interactive […]
dv FUQ-list: What is nAârt? NAârt is how i name my art or craft. It’s personal, it’s not for sale, but you can use it if you want. It carries a French ‘accent circonflexe’ because it is selfreferential. You are supposed to pronounce it like naaha-aha-aart, in as many risings in your intonation as you […]

SantiagoOrtiz Tremendous work in Sound with Flash by Columbian Artist/programmer Santiago Ortiz Herrera. Be sure to check out the Diorama ‘ESPACIOS DE INFORMACIÓN’ and the visual poetry too. Found it through Jim Andrews, thanks Jim!
Levitated | the Exploration of Computation A huge timesaver: extremely usefull collection of opensource Flash Objects by the amazing Jared Tarbell. The code is pure and robust OOP, so very nice to ‘deconstruct’…
… A note on Sondheim (fading, exploding, fading)… One of the more ambitious stuff going on here is the attempt to formulate answers to analyses like the one from Alan Sondheim below (see http://www.anu.edu.au/english/internet_txt/net4.txt for the complete source text). ‘Answers’ is a bad word, however, it’s more a matter of writing into this kind of […]

E-paper displays gaining acceptance – Hardware – www.itnews.com.au E-paper displays gaining acceptance – Hardware – www.itnews.com.au An eager wish for this kinda technology to break through.

… “Le livre unique, l’oeuvre totale, toutes les combinaisons possibles à l’intérieur du livre, le livre-arbre, le livre-cosmos, tous ces ressassement chers aux avant-gardes, qui coupent le livre de ses relations avec le dehors, sont encore pires que le chant du signifiant” Deleuze & Guattari, Mille plateaux,p.159 When Deleuze and Guattari wrote this, there was […]
… If the quality of net art is to be measured by the number of pop-up windows one produces, i will score very badly indeed. Why do all these artists use a pop up window? To liberate their art from the burden of browsers. To make it ‘autonomous’ on the screen. Do they succeed by […]

Well, today for a while i made some rather ‘audacious’ links at the NKdeE website1i was talking about the site at vilt.net, the domain is no longer mine. dv@CEG. i introduced some fictional characters including a hacker, my host and myself as the delusionary nerd that i am sometimes and linked some ‘serious’ parts, like […]
…Here’s some upcoming stuff in the NKdeE: …NKdee SCHOOL aka Kristine Academy of Cathedral Building: a subprocess dealing with technical aspects of Cathedral building and distributing educational materials covering all those aspects. in its first stage it will contain mostly white space but hopefully more and more basic as well as advanced tutorials of how […]
…Somebody (or some automated process – it’s hard to distiguish in mails these days) send me a mail to invite me to enter the NKdeE in the NET VISION category of the Prix ARS Electronica 2005, which i did of course because the i don’t mind getting prices at all and who knows i might […]
Sprachgitter: Here’s part of another grid to put down on your visions. Or think of it as a fluid that you add to a digestive organ system to make the way it works visible on screen. The time was now. We lived in a world of objects. Objects with properties and relations to each other […]
not much of a question is it. i’ve started building the game mode of the NKdeE yesterday. there’s no way out of it, no matter how much you think things through: any cultural interface that has any meaning will somehow resemble Simms, tombraider and the like. no use in waiting for the next step, either […]
Je zoekt in vliezen, op het lillen van een tong(of waar je van de puntje puntje puntjesuitschuift in een oordeelsvorm) een parallellenoodbezweerder (nood, nood, nood), die met de moed en wanhoop der waanzinnigenin de ongekuiste hoekjes van de kamersdie je platwoont spiegelschilfers los wil weken, vuurbouwen, zee stoken en goud brouwen. Een wonderlijke wens, ik […]

Een boom in dit huis, uit de vloer vorkt een stam, de daksponten kraken. Je wordt het salon uitgesleurd, men duwt je het bad in, een gezichtsloze vrouw haalt in een oogwenk met een glasscherf van je beide armen de slagaders open. Een gordijn van blauwgrijze lianen wordt over je hoofd getrokken. De scene verwildert. […]
