Grow your own URL Tree

"To use tree focus the applet enter your url and press enter. Tree accesses the source code of a webdomain through it's url and transforms the syntactic structure of the website into a tree structure represented by an image. this image illustrates a tree with trunk, branches and ramifications. first each tree is initialized, than all html links are detected, chronologically saved and finally displayed.

The first tree corresponds to the domain; according to the syntax of the website each further tree that builds up represents a subpage including all existing elements. The color of these trees reflects the color values of the domain and its subpages.

The structure of any url can be visualized and transformed into sound. the aesthetic is not arbitrary or accidental, rather each url/domain determines the variation of trees in form and color."

The Candy Wrapper Museum

"The Candy Wrapper Museum, where wrappers are to be enjoyed as art, nostalgia, and humor.

I began collecting wrappers in 1977 with an eye toward the unusual, ironic, and aesthetic, although I also collected 'classic' but more mundane wrappers for posterity's sake. I haven't yet counted all the wrappers in my collection, but it's HUGE. It's stored in a stack of boxes nearly 4 feet high and about 1.5 feet x 2 feet wide. (Physics majors - you tell me how many that probably is!)

As frightening as it may seem, I've actually eaten most of the candy in my collection, and yet I'm not (yet) overweight. I'm sure I owe this to countless intense walks and aerobics sessions. And no, I'm not a diabetic. Perhaps this can be attributed to good genes, although knowing my family, this theory is doubtful. Maybe it will catch up with me soon and I'll decompose all at once, like an aged candy."

Window Standpoint Series

"Some artists, all over the globe were asked to share their personal window. They made a few minutes field recording from their everyday soundscape. At one geographic point, at one moment, they catched the sound environment from their window and made a picture of it. The main idea is close to one of movement, ubiquity, immobile tourism.

How to share one's very own identity when confronted to other places? The window, just as the browser's window, becomes the access onto other dimensions (space, time, sound), and proposes as a new platform. At that very, fixed, moment, the frozen picture becomes one object of sharing."
