What brought you to the Net?
<Alan>
Distribution more than anything - I'd worked with offline computers
years ago, made a number of films as well as video and other pieces
(including writing programs I did in Pascal) - but the Net initially
offered distribution and the ability in a strange way to fine-tune the
planet
<Helen_Whitehead>
fine-tune the planet?
<Alan>
It was a very natural progression - I had worked in short-wave at one
point, and video quite often. Fine-tune in the sense that, say with
unix or linux or running amuck in the tcpip programs you can speed up
connections, route things, etc. - and I was and am still, fascinated
the way the planet works or becomes a membrane, appears like that -
Online
Party
Sunday 25 July 1999
trAce members were invited to drop by the trAce meeting room
at LinguaMOO to join poet and playwright Kim Morrissey in celebrating
the birthday of Elizabeth Siddal, Pre-Raphaelite poet, artist, model
and wife of D.G. Rossetti. After cutting the birthday cake, Kim, author
of 'Clever As Paint' (a re-examination of the life of Elizabeth Siddal)
led a discussion of issues around Women and Poetry. As the guests logged
on one by one, they found Kim reading aloud from Siddal's work:
Kim says, "One face looks out from all his canvasses,"
Kim says, "One self-same face sits or walks or leans:"
Kim says, "We find her hidden just behind those screens,"

Marvella says, "Me neither, Rouen."
Marvella says, "That's a challenge."
Marvella says, "One thing for sure, something has to happen of
a dramatic nature."
Rouen says, "but with elegant navigation, perhaps not a problem.......
Sharing
a Common Language Tuesday
15th September 1998
The log of an online event held by the Globewide
Network Academy. Sue Thomas introduced the work of trAce and discussed
the implications of creating an international cybercommunity of writers
and readers based around the 'English' language. English speakers claim
to share a common tongue, but it is used differently by Australians,
Americans, Canadians and the British - not to mention those for whom
it is a second or third language. Can we ever communicate effectively?
Imagining
a Stone Wednesday

The log of an online meeting held as part of the Lecture Series Ensemble
Logic & Choragraphy curated by Teri Hoskin, Adelaide, Australia.
The meeting involved a tour of a series of virtual rooms created by
