Ambient Orb

Tuesday, April 29, 2003

For years I’ve been fascinated with those space age glowing green nightlights.  I’ve had two plugged into my wall for over five years now.  (They also only use 1/100th of the power needed for a standard 7-watt nightlight bulb and costing only 2 cents a year to operate.) You can imagine my delight when I read about these new wireless digital devices - ambient orbs that change colors based on information from the internet.  It mutates unobtrusively and visually when your IM buddies come online, the weather forecast changes or the DOW goes up or down.  I used to wonder how long it would be before we had full wall-size green light panels.  Now, it’s only a matter of time before these “light sources” also transmit real-time visual data from the internet into our physical spaces.

Stills taken with my digital video camera while flying.  The graininess adds a retro quality, making these photos look like they might be from my childhood in the 70s rather than the present, 2003.

Future: Is there life after the browser?

Saturday, April 19, 2003

“One of the disadvantages of the browser is that there aren’t very good ways of organizing information,” Meyrowitz (president of Macromedia Products) said. “Bookmarks just don’t do the whole job. There’s no real sense of place for the information you want to come back to.”

collage

My desktop with stills from www.colette.fr composited against iChat and a desktop picture of Bjork in a space bubble.  One of those wonderful web surfing days, full of pixels and unexpected translucent colors.
