self reseaux : jen : art des reseaux ccc

i have created a network of myself, i wanted to express
my cyborg internet body, the images in the spheres are
fragments of me floating in the south china sea near a
philippine island called palawan. i felt it would be
appropriate as the internet is merely a vast ocean
of information. also, to reflect on the juxtaposition
of nature and cyberspace.

the right sphere connected to my right arm indicates the
internet's usefulness for diy = do it yourself. there are a
few random links there which i like : hacking : painting
cooking : blogging : etc

the womb sphere are search engines : google : wikipedia :
opentopia : archive.org : etc

i have titled it the womb because i feel the search engine
is the birth place of hybrid creation and intelligence

the part sphere are participative platforms in which i am
a member of : rhizome : korakora : computer love : etc

and the left sphere are more specific knowledge based sites :
ccc : mit : n paradoxa : lux : egs : ctrl+p

(this is not the final image, spheres are to be linked
via dreamweaver)
