RE: [-empyre-] June on -empyre-: we-blog with abe linkoln, jimpunk, Chris Ashley and Tom Moody

["Jim Andrews" <jim@vispo.com>]

looking forward to the month. have enjoyed the work of jimpunk and abe
linkoln for some time.

just had a trip to http://paranoiacwww.jimpunk.com/crash . at least on my pc
with ie 6 it does eventually come to rest. i like what you make here simply
out of browser windows (and of course javascript). quite a process piece,
really. and an interesting type of content. very erm refreshing. the piece
goes beyond simply opening and closing a bunch of browser windows into some
sort of meditation on the window, content, art, and code.

would love to see the source code for some of your work. do you make the
source code available ever? i can't right click fast enough to 'view source'
of course--they're gone before that!

sometimes you appear to size a window, ie, a particular window goes from
large to small or vice versa. Is that a matter of opening and closing the
window repeatedly or do you not close the window at all during that process
but just resize it?
