CNN INTERACTIVE JUST
GOT MORE INTERACTIVE |

A specially commissioned
gallery installation for, Art & money Online
held at Tate, Britain in March 2001 and curated by Julian
Stallabrass -based on our webwork http://www.cnnextra.net
In CNN Interactive just got more
interactive artists
Jon Thomson & Alison Craighead allow visitors to add
a variety of soundtracks to the monolithic CNN Interactive
website in an attempt to further mediate a moment of infotainment
-to bring a cinematic conceit to this ever changing global
news feed. |
|
Using the fluidity of the
internet to augment what is already such a dizzying hub of
information transfer, the artists have decided to pipe this
twenty four hour internet service into the gallery via a touchscreen
console and Data projection. As such, the economy of the news
is blurred ever more towards venerability and entertainment
-forcing us to question ways in which we all distinguish between
Fact and Fiction.
