For the artists it was important to crate a new variant of the work which would mediate the feel of the computer, the internet of the time to the contemporary user. Even though we can't predict how the future internet habits will differentiate from our current state, we decided to comment on some parts of the work to explain the original functionality. Trying to find a balance between the mediation and keeping the work intact for individual exploration, the team tried to keep the comments and explanations rather reserved. | ||
The idea behing the simulation is to create an environment in which the work is presented, described and commented at the same time. Therefore the work itself has been embeded in the so called "meta area" where the user get's additional information on individual parts of the simulation. F.e. it explains which parts of the original files were no longer available for reconstruction. Or how the generative process worked. The "meta-area" serves as a space for any potentional blanks and missing parts of the work. The video interview with the two artits has also been embedded in the meta area. The video should allow a different access to the work, without entering the extensive netart repository. | The idea behing the simulation is to create an environment in which the work is presented, described and commented at the same time.

The sidepanel with additional information can be closed to enjoy the work on its own completely. | ||
The reconstruction team decided to hint on the original size of the screen by blending in a short animation of a monitor - which implies the original size and resolution of the work. without addresses functionality is completely contained in this area. There are simulated pop up windows which can be moved on top of each other and closed. | |||
The design and implementation of the simulation was suppored by Marija Stupar, who also [https://quellen.netzkunst.berlin/without_addresses/variant/4/documentation/texts/wa-simulation-code-notes_Marija_Stupar.pdf documented the conceptual decitions as well her aditional changes] in the code by Karl Heinz Jeron. | The design and implementation of the simulation was suppored by Marija Stupar, who also [https://quellen.netzkunst.berlin/without_addresses/variant/4/documentation/texts/wa-simulation-code-notes_Marija_Stupar.pdf documented the conceptual decitions as well her aditional changes] in the code by Karl Heinz Jeron. | ||
