RHIZOME_RAW: New Net.Art: "RGB (Dancing Pixels)"

[Joseph Franklyn McElroy Cor[porat]e [Per]form[ance] Art[ist]]

There are other levels of interactivity - shift-click will highlight areas in 
white or scroll image of the screen - changing size of screen dramatically 
alters images.  I kept wishing for the images to interact more directly - dark 
areas intersecting at the edges - forming a pattern accross the whole.

> New Six Rules Compliant [6RC] Net.Art
> by Eryk Salvaggio w/ Jessica Johnson, 
> the first ascii movie star. 
> 
> Three frames consist of three choices; R, G, and B, for the standard colors
> of image guns in computer monitors; Red, Green, and Blue. Each choice takes
> you to an ascii movie of dancer Jessica Johnson, who I filmed with a digital
> camera. The mpeg was then converted into frames of "compressed ascii", which
> refreshes at a rate resembling stuttering slow motion. On the Explorer
> browser you will also have a series of clicks with each frame, making up the
> rhythm of the dance itself, which is affected on any browser by the speed of
> your connection and general traffic.
> 
> The piece has an interactive composition- you can choose any combination of
> R, G and B that you like. The work is also in line with my use of ascii as a
> metaphor for information-mediated reality. The image is abstracted down to
> it's barest recognizable features, although some people see it as abstract
> color fields barely comprehensible as an image [particularly on mac's] which
> is fine with me.
