Hi to ALL. I’m new here, second day in, arriving with a background in Experimental & Contemporary Art. I’m curious. Are there any interdisciplinary artists writers arts+tech people individuals - or other who are interested in exploring and experimenting Delta.Chat as site tool context medium subject studio - or moment for social sculpture? Are there any DC team members interested in assisting a hybrid open project or research group focused on this - formally or informally? I’m developing something now centered around the unique qualities, features and charms of DC. Would enjoy any feedback and happy to meet you.
I’m not much of an artist, but I’m sure I’ve seen some around here.
Not really sure what this means, but would be glad to see.
Hi @WofWca All of that’s good to know. I appreciate your interest and will definitely keep you in the loop. Till then, ![]()
The term is new to me, but it seems that Social sculpture - Wikipedia is sort of like “social engineering”, but it is a positive term rather than a pejorative. Perhaps this is because it contains the notion that everyone who intentionally seeks to change the world is and artist, creating part of the giant collaborative work of art that is human culture.
…which would emphatically make almost any FOSS project an artwork.
I think these lists are andor lists:
I have tagged this post “art”; I hope others will reuse the tag, to make art-related posts more discoverable and connect the community of artsts using Deltachat.
@fluence, you (or others) might be interested in WebXDC apps as an artform; WofWca as just set up tools to build a WebXDC APP online. If the online instructions for writing an app are unclear, please let us know.
Hi @Minim I appreciate ur thots n insights. Yep. I took note of the webxdc apps prior to my post today and they, along with various dimensions of DC, are informing my project ideas. So yes. Synergy. Thx for the offer. I may consult with you and or @WofWca on the app tech dev foss stuff. I will keep you in the loop while here on the brink of, well . . Let’s all discover that together. As ever, ![]()
