<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to invite you to visit Beadgee, a
net.art project commissioned by Impakt.nl. I believe it would interest some of
you since it deals with the disintegration of texts in an on-line environment. I
would be happy to hear any comments.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Beadgee by Tamar Schori<BR>The book 'Three
Young Rats and other rhymes' edited by James Johnson Sweeny (Museum of Modern
Art, New York) served as the starting point for Tamar Schori's 'Beadgee'. As a
teenager she read this book and was fascinated by the rhymes. When she
juxtaposed the rhymes with her drawings she made privately since she was an art
student, accidental layers of meanings were created.<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The drawings are imaginary gizmos consisting of
entangled parts that can be reassembled. Some of the parts (beads) are rigid and
some seems to be alive. 'Beadgee' holds an abundant of different drawings; each
drawing corresponds to one rhyme. The user is invited to choose from the gizmos,
explode them and pick desired beads to comprise a new gizmo. Each individual
bead within a gizmo is associated with a word from the enclosed rhyme. As long
as the user is in the 'explode mode' the words from the rhyme are being played.
When one selects a part of the exploded drawing, a word from the rhyme is
selected and attached to this part. The order ofthe selected beads dictates the
order of the words in the new rhyme. The newly made gizmo can be submitted into
the gallery, where any user can follow the narrative that is built by the
participants. 'Beadgee' tailors a new story and a new visual landscape that will
manage to use given elements to enfold into a new story. The new images make new
combinations and reveal each time more information which can differ every time
as new juxtapositions are put forward. The projects relates to narrative art
through a process of dissociation and reassembly. It becomes a vehicle to
translate the spirit of absurdity and fantasy into a different form of
reading.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
