May 2025
May 21: I've upgraded this, the Vispo.com history page, to HTML5. I've maintained this page since 1998, so the HTML was really old. Have also added a timeline slider to quickly navigate vispo.com history. And icons for most entries.

2:50 The not-so-long awaited sequel Barbie Set Theory II. In this logical development in the plot, we see not simply random { and } symbols, but generation with {, }, {}, {{}}, {}{}, {}{{}}, {{}}{}, and {{{}}}. Many of these moving in big circles form dynamically changing larger sets made of several of all of these.April 1:

Computer Art and the Theory of Computation.
This major essay is one of the only knowlegeable things out
there about the relations between computer art and the theory
of computation. It used to be on netartery, which is down for
the foreseeable future--but which might be back. In any case,
it's good to have a pdf version of this. I have slightly edited
it, so the pdf is the most recent, final version of this essay.

Aug 25: A Brit by the name of Gareth Hopkins created a project in which he asked participants to take a page from his abstract graphic novel, do something with/to it, and send him the results. Gareth's page involved the text 'There are no new ideas'; the project is called No New Ideas. Gareth then posted them all online and may do other things with the collection. With Gareth's help, I took the graphics people sent him and fed them all to Aleph Null. Plus an exchange I had with Jim Leftwich about the idea that there are no new ideas. Here's a Slidvid of 176 selected 1920x1080 images of Aleph Null chewing on No New Ideas. Here's a Slidvid of 69 images (3840x2160) of Aleph Null chewing on No New Ideas. Here's a new Aleph Null nib of No New Ideas. Here's 3 videos (video1, video2, video3) of Aleph Null in action chewing on No New Ideas. Participants include Alfredo Santos, Amy Hopkins, Bill Hopkins, Chloe Starlig, Chris Joseph, Cindy Lou, Daniel Bristow Bailey, Gareth A Hopkins, Hazel R Web, Jenny Robins, Jeremy Bushnell, Kele Web, Ladenia Jones, Martha Hopkins, Michæl Orzechowski, Nick Bryan, Piotr Szreniawski, Rosaire Appel, Sarah Daniels, Steve Thompson and Tony Edwards.

The prints are of high-res images created in Aleph Null. And Nat put together a Raspberry Pi app that boots a Pi and starts playing a slideshow of Aleph Null images. So the show is visual poetry meets visual art meets computer art meets net art. And the prints look great. Hope to see you there. September 2019

My mom, Evelyn
Andrews, passed away on September 22. I have finished putting together
11x11=121 pictures, each of which includes her. The pictures are
arranged chronologically from age 0.5 to 75. In my experience,
she never liked having her picture taken. But she kept all of these.
Very few of them are solely of her. For the most part, they show
her with the people she loved.October 2008

Art (2002): Matt Mirapaul of the NY Times on WBEZ in Chicago
(Real Audio) interviewed by Victoria Lautman concerning
Nio, Mark Napier's work, and the 'road to acceptance'. Except
that 'acceptance' is not really the goal. Instead, the idea
is to blow your mind out of its socket. It isn't so much
that the work comes to be 'accepted' over time as understood
over time. If the work is good, then it will bleed future.
An enhanced literacy of the sensorium. And if that literacy
is useful, as it may be, then the work will play and be understood,
and carried to some other level somewhere, some time else.
Toward an expanded multi-sensorial literacy. I make human
language machines that sing and textualize voco-graphically
at length. I attempt to make them resonate through the sensorium
and various dimensions of language. I presume computer communications
will continue to proliferate throughout society. This is
toward literacy and vision using the computer. And a re-write
of digital literature.

Bought vispo.com. Bought a word. Bought
a domain. Working on Vispo 2.0 which I launched this month.
Have been working on this redesign of speakeasy.org/~jandrews
for a couple of months. Basic idea is each piece gets its own
page, no more gallery motif, and use simpler (not frame-based)
navigation to claim more space for composition. Also, trying
to design for the future: less on each page, more focussed,
but also will accomodate any size of screen (mostly) except 640.

I started my site as islandnet.com/~jandrews in 1996. When I moved to Seattle
in 1997, I moved it to speakeasy.org/~jandrews. And then I bought the vispo.com
domain in May 1999. The site started as a page I used to publicize the poetry
reading series I ran in Victoria called Mocambopo. It soon turned into a site for
my own work as I began to get a feel for the web.
