[myartstory] My first post - again
My name is Nicola. I've decided to get involved with an Art Project called Stories from the Tower by a group called Slowfall Projects.
As I understand the point of the project is for the artists who are members of Slowfall Projects to create a piece of art as a result of talking to a member of the public. I have decided to get involved after reading the website and see if I can help make a piece of art.
This is the first time that I have used a blog or written anything on the internet so this is part of a learning experience for me, even though I use the internet almost every day at home and at work, I have never done something like this before. It is very strange to think that thousands of people could read this who have never met me.
I am not sure what the art will be or even if you can make art on the internet at the moment. Perhaps that is what this project is about, I think that this is something that we could talk about.
I live in Australia, but right now I am Singapore and about to talk about art with somebody who lives in the UK.
Here are some links www.slowfall.org - the website of the artists

Hi
Its pretty easy at the end of the day to use something like this.
I like the idea of a conversation as a piece of art - as an artist I'm not sure exactly how the internet can be used as a work of art - I mean to make art with...
For example you can show a picture of a painting on a web page, but that isn't a work of art - at least I don't think that it is - it is a copy of a work of art.
In a sense it is something that artists have been trying to grapple with since the widescale introduction of the printing of images.
(and photography)
I don't think that this problem occurs in the same way with say print making - making an etching for instance is a complex and distinct process - a print is something in itself - a multiple work of art.
Photographic printing enables you to make limitless identical copies, which potentailly changes everything.
Fortunately I tend to make thinigs not images.
