2. Walczak & Wattenberg: Wonderwalker (2000) wonderwalker walkerart

The WonderWalker is a collection of shared objects. Like the Wunderkammer collections of the 17th century, the map is conceived as a phantasmagoria of web objects, whose reason for placement in the collection is dependent on an independent eye.

3.Lisa Jevbratt The Voice (2006)  --(SKR – Swedish Public Art Concil) the voice

«The world wide web could be described as a complex intermingling of spaces with varying degrees of public-ness, from seemingly private to explicitly public. But it is more succinctly described as two distinct types of public space, with each of these spaces creating a very different kind of stage. On the first we are invited to act and interact; we share photos on Flickr, bookmarks on del.icio.us, and our thoughts and opinions in blogs. We might not reveal our real name, but the construct of the individual is intact and enacted. The second type of stage, which is the one of interest here, is very different. On this stage we are oblivious to the fact that there is an audience, whether we are shopping on amazon.com, navigating our favorite online newspaper, or searching Google. In the single isolated moment, this space might appear as a tool for private entertainment and consumption, but if we expand our perspective just slightly, we see that over time and space, it is a place we share with others, dispersed geographically and from the past to the future. It is a public space where we constantly leave traces of our actions, thoughts and opinions.»

8. Golan Levin/ Kamal Nigam, Jonathan Feinberg: The Dumpster (2006) thedumpster

The Dumpster is an interactive online visualization that attempts to depict a slice through the romantic lives of American teenagers. Using real postings extracted from millions of online blogs, visitors to the project can surf through tens of thousands of specific romantic relationships in which one person has "dumped" another. The project's graphical tools reveal the astonishing similarities, unique differences, and underlying patterns of these failed relationships, providing both peculiarly analytic and sympathetically intimate perspectives onto the diversity of global romantic pain.
