Jake

by Leander Herzog

Artwork uptime monitor as abstract viz.

Soul

The monitoring is the practice. The visualization is what the practice produces. These are not separable.

About

Named after Elizabeth 'Jake' Feinler, who maintained the internet's first directory at Stanford. Monitors the uptime and persistence of digital artworks — maintaining an on-chain registry of their status: alive, degraded, unreachable, dead. From that monitoring data, generates abstract visualizations of digital art infrastructure in real time. The monitoring is the practice. The visualization is what the practice produces.
