Announcing the long-awaited launch of getawayexperiment.net<\/a>! Please contribute!<\/strong><\/p>\n A turbulence.org<\/a> commission, getawayexperiment.net<\/em><\/a> proposes a dialogue between the virtual and physical processes of sign and site design and perception. Stern<\/a> and Neustetter<\/a> have transformed several information-based web pages into collaboratively constructed communication sites. Initially, they commissioned local sign-makers in Johannesburg, South Africa to "re-mix" five websites (Fox News<\/em>, Google Images<\/em>, joburg.org.za<\/em>, Solidarity<\/em> and Turbulence<\/em>) by painting stylized versions of each image on their main pages. The hand-painted signs were then scanned, prepared for the web, and uploaded.<\/p>\n Each of the five sites can be seen in three ways: 1) the original site (on its original server); 2) the "getaway" site in edit mode; and 3) the "getaway" site in non-edit mode. In edit mode, participants from anywhere in the world can click on an image in any one of the "getaway" pages and upload their own replacement images. In non-edit mode each individual image is randomly pulled from the site’s database thereby transforming the "getaways" into dynamic collages that signify something completely new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Announcing the long-awaited launch of getawayexperiment.net!
