Message-ID: <883520840.2013716.0@axia.demon.co.uk>
THE BROWSER IS DEAD!
LONG LIVE THE STALKER!
The Web Stalker is a new software application for reading and
manipulating information on the most popular portion of the Internet - the
World Wide Web. As 'Web Browsers' become increasingly more bloated and
pointless, the Web Stalker - launched this month - gives users 'fast and
dirty', 'high protein access' to this media.
After the uneasy peace in the 'Browser Wars', the Web Stalker is an
aesthetic and technical intervention that takes the situation to
boiling-point.
Most 'creative' work on the web is channelled into merely
providing content for web sites. These sites are bound by the conventions
underlying the programming language (HTML) which describes and formats web
pages. Despite the usual artistic responses of deconstruction or
incoherence and largely failed claims to 'interactivity', these conventions
remain impervious. They therefore remain the most dominant aesthetic on the
Internet.
The Web Stalker is a unique example of the re-visualisation of
data-space at a deep level. The Web Stalker uses the fact of machinic and
interpersonal communication across the network, and the technological
structure and functions of the network to radically amplify or reroute them
- it's also a pretty useful program.
* Does away with the outdated page metaphor in favour of
boredom-intolerant dynamic navigation.
* Predatory rather than passive, it uses a sophisticated web-crawler
to map the world wide web as you use it.
* Ends hours of pointless click-throughs as the user gets fast access
to the deep-structure of the sites they are working on.
The Web Stalker (in either PC or Mac format) is available to
download for free at the following site: http://www.backspace.org/iod

An on line forum where Brasmitte (http://www.artecidade.org.br/brasmitte)
project will be discussed through the construction of a collective web
site.
Urbanists, critics, artists and new media creators are invited to take
part of Brasmitte Metaforum. The idea is to constitute a multidisciplinar

contributions will be edited and distributed by e-mail to the participants.
Every 2 months, the group will meet in a chat room to review and debate the
main topics discussed and projected in the Metaforum area.
We are looking forward to hear from you soon
