Documentation
It was the first project we developed in
the frame-work of zeitgenossen.com. The central idea was to
combine web-specific art and media theory. This went along with
the intention to describe our present.
Formally we worked on the synchronicity of
image and sound, the construction of depth perception and the
”menu-free” screen.

INPUT
If information is regarded as an
independent entity, then this means first and foremost, that
information exists naturally as such without any exterior
influence. However, if information is seen in connection with
understanding and/or meaning, then behind it there is someone
who produces that information artificially. This fundamental
distinction can be observed even at the level of algorithmic
representation and therefor also affects the development level.
The essay ”INFORMATION ” (1999) focuses on this
notion.
