Me oh my. This is awesome. “ASCII art. Written pictures, drawn words. What’s in this for the participant, and what’s brought to it by participants? What remains when they leave? Icontext is a free space on the Web that presents visitors with an open-ended interplay of words and pictures. What you do with your keyboard and mouse determines what appears on the screen and what subsequent visitors see and read. At its most basic level, Icontext is a hybrid of telecommunication, drawing, and word processing software. It sets up a fluid correspondence between keystrokes and blocks of color. For example, when you type ‘dog,’ the word ‘dog’ appears, and so does a series of three color blocks. Icontext also works on other levels, allowing visitors to collaborate with each other and to upload, archive, and reconfigure ‘icontexts.’”

“Last year, 185 people from 34 countries responded to an invitation to submit art and poetry on Frankenstein. These WWW pages showcase some of these submissions. I started the exhibition because, reading the novel after many years, I realised that almost all our images of Mary Shelley’s creature come from the 1931 film … the familiar great green stupid monster. He’s not at all like that and I selected and distributed the passages from the novel which explain why. I’m also very concerned about how people, past a certain age, cease to think of themselves as being creative; Mail art gives everyone a chance to reflect and express themselves in various ways.”
