Re: [arch-d] Internet and Architecture as Art

[Guntur Wiseno Putra <[e-mail]>]

Dear All,

A correction should be made to the orevious message:


What are beauties questioned, what are imaginations provoked, by the
Internet as a way to communicate --thus by its architecture, by its art...?

There are supposedly  beauties bringing ones to hopes: which are about next
readings on the Internet architecture --which are also about discursive
productions... Thus there are:
- technical readings on the Internet protocols (eg. IAB (www.iab.org), IETF
(www.ietf.org), RFCs (www.rfc-editor.org))
- non-technical readings (eg. journal analyses, lectures referring
non-technical situations, those social ones...)

In those technical and non-technical readings there are artistic readings
(eg. the Internet protocols as architectural programmes, cybergeography on
conceptual and artistic (www.cybergeography.org))-- as they question
beauties and provoke imaginations...

There were also imaginations: those ranging from a limited ARPANET
environment to DARPA one. There are also imaginations on the Internet
society (www.isoc.org), to "Information Society" (www.itu.int on "Measuring
Information Society" reports), to the Internet interplanetery (
www.ipnsig.org)...

To add what were just said about "hope": "What is hope which is not
non-hope also"? As we may say "It does not work any longer, but we still
have chances, let's take a look at solutions...". Those are what happen
with obsoleted or updated RFCs as there are (re)interpretations and
(re)evaluations...

Here should we remember "form, space, and order" as so far guiding an
understanding on "architecture": there are "cyber-network form",
cyber-network space" and "cyber-network principle"...

Regard,
Guntur Wiseno Putra
