===============================
Data Agency is a SCAN showcase of live, real-time, online media arts.
Combining found data with content produced by webcams, streamed audio,
generative programmes and their own sounds and visuals, these artists
reconfigure the original function and meaning of the data to create
their own, new devices and meanings, to enhance online arts projects.
*Susan Collins*
Fenlandia features a series of gradually unfolding, digital landscapes
created by images harvested from webcams in rural, technological sites
(Silicon Fen in Norfolk, Silicon Valley in the M4 corridor, and Silicon
Glen in Scotland) around the UK. The data feed from the webcams updates
the images pixel by pixel, recording fluctuation in light and movement
throughout the day. At any one time the viewer experiences a different
version of the image as the pixels change and the piece expands -
Fenlandia extrapolates and develops traditional devices of the landscape
tradition in painting.

*Igloo*
dotdotdot is a new web and installation work. It is the net's first
interactive radio-streaming, motion capture project and is an on-line
choreographic work where viewers select the soundtrack whilst driving
the performance animations.
*Lorie Novak*
Reverb examines the cultural relevance of photographs by interspacing
media images of significant moments from the last 50 years with highly
personal images which place the viewer within a deeply political and
historical context.
Direct broadcasts and archived sounds of historical events, political
speeches, and personal testimonies create different sound/image
permutations each time the piece is played.
*Neil C Smith*
(AS)RAM
Through improvisation and self-generating artworks, Oxford-based artist
Neil C Smith places the creative process in real-time, often remixing
the work of other artists; much of his work is unrecorded and ephemeral.
(AS)RAM is an online development of Neil's solo performance Radio Access
Memory, an improvised remix of live radio.
