Nww be a good sensor...

...and talk into the web.

"..In sensor networks the objective is to get many such devices to collaborate and monitor specific phenomena. Each device then becomes a node of the network. The challenge is to aggregate sensor nodes into computational infrastructures that are able to produce globally meaningful information from raw local data obtained by individual sensor nodes: understanding for example that spikes in local measurements may correspond to a moving pollution front, and tracking its evolution."

tasty lil article on The arrival of geosensor networks on ZDNet.

Let's think about the phenomena of the web, and picture ourselves as sensors...then think about things like livejournal and myspace...and now let's illustrate with some art.;):

I've been reading up on Paolo Solari, designing large space stations, and thinking of you and your art lately.
