Text Face

I am making an image of my face using the lyrics to "We Be Steady Mobbin'" by Lil Wayne. This image is made by building up layers up text to create the darker tones and shadows. As you can probably tell the process of building up the tones is very time consuming so I'm still in the process of finishing this one.

Pixlr Image Editing

Pixlr is a free online photo editing program. It possesses a lot of the same qualities as Photoshop only for free. It's also very convenient since it is online it can be accessed anywhere. I used Pixlr to create this series of photographs I would like to title "Heaven" or just beer cap series.

Is There Love in the Telematic Embrace?

This article brings up good points about science being integrated into art. Telematic systems and databases are becoming more and more popular in net art today. I like the point Roy Ascott made when he talked about how instead of art being just viewed traditionally, now the viewers interact with the art and in some ways become a part of it. From this point I think there is love in the telematic embrace. Most people find viewing art boring and only spend seconds in front of a piece of artwork, but when you actively give viewers the opportunity to become part of the art they enjoy it more. With interactive telematic art you give people the chance to interact with the art as well as interacting with other participants.

Backing up your computer

I used the program Mozy. It gives you 2gb of free backup space.
