1.2 = framework "If the future isn't bright - at least it's colourful" - A185 "The future's so bright - i gotta wear shades." - Timbuk3 "The future's so bright after i took mine off." - Boe A22 the archives & the web index >>> This extremely minute website, the southcentral online, where every tiny detail is either archived alfabetically or chronologically, all things hyperlinked and all roads leading somewhere. The stringent framework, that is. Providing a space into which something can be projected is opening a room in the origamism. My urge to plot, document and archive all these efforts and their final product/ions as or_/ work - even though that tag wasn't even found in the promotion, has sometimes become intimidating to people involved. "i" might die or give up tomorrow or have my mac blown to pieces or Lasse A73's basement where the stuffed archive boxes are could very well be flooded and we wouldn't allow any of that to ruin everybody's day, now WOULD we? The web index as a growing organism all by itself AND as a extremely practical digital archive of sounds, text and images (as a future goal) does not have to generate a lot of econimical transactions to be upheld and expanded - gigabytes come real cheap these days and what about tomorrow? Nor does it contribute largescale to material consumerism (not every world citizen will buy a pc to acces that stuff - take it from me), it is fairly environmentally friendly (if you can keep the volume down AND remember to recycle and save energy). In addition it is virtually a no-expense no-income enterprise, and they don't come in hords. A friendly gesture to the art historians and students of the 21st and 22nd century. How much of the world's great heritage is lost and diffcult to reconstruct due to people not keeping their archives straight? It might be good that things are so temporary, flashing by with or without leaving traces, but it can also be interesting to show the links, a main drive. The parts of creative history we know are but the zip of a carlsberg. The origamic meditation and contemplation involved in the endless html-tagging of this web index is now a full surround film running in "my" head - flashing up any awake minute of the day - so my braindisk for one would love to have it transferred onto another format, allowing free diskspace for new projects the "i" is about to embarque upon. 05 - 20 POTENTIAL <<< all files in one folder 90 - 05 PREFACE <<< open the folders and the files will follow this page was coded in HTMLĒ ("HTMLĒ: more incomprehensible than Glaswegian; more unpronounceable than the secret name of God")
