Home | The Glocal Project

by karlcow

Operating out of the Surrey Art Gallery’s Tech Lab, The Glocal Project is a collaborative, multifaceted artist-led project that examines the changing role of digital image making today. The digital revolution has included the global proliferation of millions of image-taking devices (such as digital cameras, video recorders, cell phones, and PDAs) and the sharing of billions of images through online networking and archival sites (such as Flickr). As this democratization of digital technologies makes the ability to make photographic images so ubiquitous, Glocal is interested in looking at the implications of the changing roles and relations of images within the field of visuality. Glocal is particularly interested in exploring the construction and relevance of the “unique” or “originary” image in relation to the multiple or “multitude”.

cool offer....not seen anywhere

by crescentindis
Dear frnds..... I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept. AGLOCO’s story is simple: Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE! AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action. AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for! AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more. AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube made. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share. What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information. So do both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBCM3179 Thanks ash

RESTful Web Services

by pvergain
"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked." --John Gall, Systemantics To design a website you need to know about HTTP, XHTML, and URIs. To design a web application you need to know about HTTP, XHTML, and URIs. To design a web service you need to know about XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, WS-Policy, WS-Security, WS-Eventing, WS-Reliability, WS-Coordination, WS-Transaction, WS-Notification, WS-BaseNotification, WS-Topics, WS-Transfer... What happened there? The web is the most successful distributed platform in the world, and it's simple enough for average humans to understand. How come adapting it for use by computer programs requires that smart people spend billions of dollars and devote years of their lives to coming up with all these new standards? And what happened to HTTP and URIs? The answer is that "Web Services" aren't the web. They're a heavyweight architecture for distributed object access, like COM and CORBA. This architecture is associated with the web, because HTTP is a trendy protocol, and flexible enough that you can implement almost anything on top of it. But it's not really of the web. The architecture of Big Web Services reinvents or ignores every feature that makes the web successful. This is the book that puts the "web" back into "web services". You can design a web service that uses HTTP, XHTML, and URIs. You just need to understand REST, the architectural principles that drive the web. RESTful Web Services gives you the tools you need to argue for sensible web services, and the strategies and code you need to create them. The book is manuscript complete at around 440 pages, and it'll be published by O'Reilly in May 2007. We think this can be the definitive work on the real-world use of REST.

Choosing and using typeface

by kampod
Type. In your lifetime you've seen billions of letters and millions of words, yet you might never have consciously noticed the typefaces you read. Type is important because it's an unconscious persuader. It attracts attention, sets the style and tone of a document, colors how readers interpret the words, and defines the feeling of the page - usually without the reader recognizing a particular typeface.

What If Media 2.0 Is Less Profitable Than Media 1.0? » Publishing 2.0

by dggit (via)
"As consumers spend more and more of their media time online, ad dollars have been pouring into online media — the assumption has been that the billions of dollars that large companies spend on mass media advertising and marketing (i.e. TV ads) will ultimately follow the small company dollars online. If this assumption is correct, websites with the greatest command of online consumer attention, e.g. MySpace, will be the beneficiaries of this 1-to-1 transfer of marketing and advertising dollars to digital media. But what if there’s a fatal flaw in this assumption? What if the transfer of marketing and advertising dollars online is not 1-to-1? What if the Internet has fundamentally lowered the marketing and advertising costs for big companies as it has for small companies? What if large companies can achieve the same sales objectives for a fraction of the cost of traditional mass media advertising? "
