| If you reach this page is it because it is still on my server. I can't decide what to do about all these projects, done in the 90s that don't work on current browsers. (An interesting problem for achriving old Net art.) My new work is located at www.rudylemcke.com , please take a look at what I've done recently. |

 Mushroom Eater (1998)
This project is off line. The Mushroom Eater contains a Javascript for playing sounds that will only function properly with Netscape. The Mushroom Eater de-composes John Cage's "Concerto for Prepared Piano and Orchestra (1951)" into 75 sound events. The Mushroom Eater is programmed to randomly generate and place on the score/page a configuration of 5 of these sound events represented by 5 random mushroom icons. The user can then "play" the piece in any order. Clicking the mushroom icons in close succession will overlap the sounds. To reconfigure the score; click on "Reload". |

Fin Again(s) Wake (1989-1996). Originally created as a series of graphite on paper artworks in 1989 and recreated as a digital piece in 1996, this piece borrows words from Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" and constructs a series of poems using AIDS drugs as a central axis. The idea for this piece came from a work by John Cage called "The First Meeting of the Eric Satie Society." In that piece random configurations of Joyce's text were generated using a computer software program modeled after the Chinese fortune telling book, the "I Ching." Although this piece is a very low-tech re-interpretation and investigation of this concept and there is nothing random about it or its' intention; it owes its' conceptual origin to Cage. 4.0 Browser Version | 3.0 Browser Version This project is off line. |
