"a generic video and a banal piece of code combined on a simple web page unite in a happy coincidence – the cameraman’s default panning speed almost exactly matches the pace of the default marquee speed." http://art.teleportacia.org/observation/infinite_seance_2/

@GIFmodel I think I've told this story before but I wrote "best viewed in 800×600" on my geocities page and then found out later that my computer was set to 640x480 and I was so embarrassed, 1 because I was a liar and 2 because I clearly wasn't using the cool resolution
Here's some recent research by esteemed colleagues and myself on how to model and compute an access quality value for net art. The paper was presented at iPRES2022 in Glasgow. Get links to the PDF and a recording of the presentation at https://rhizome.org/editorial/2023/feb/28/access-quality-metrics-for-net-art/

Native Americans are asking The Apache Software Foundation, "…to take the necessary steps needed to express the ally-ship they promote so deeply on their website, to act in accordance with their own code of conduct, to “be careful in the words that [they] choose”, and change their name."
It'll be a big change, but IMO one that's necessary and overdue.
