RSS Art?

By Craig | Published: November 1, 2006

(Things have just started to become interesting in the RSS world. Check out this site. Who said that new media art was dead?)

Every hour, 10×10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour’s most important words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10×10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input (link).

  • ...this blog is obsessively directed at profiling digital humanities developments in a cultural, social, and technical sense and in terms of books and applications...it is an aggregation or 'meta' style blog with the occasional commentary

    Hi, my name is Dr Craig Bellamy and I am a digital humanities analyst for the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative, a consortium based at the University of Melbourne, however, the views expressed in this blog are the responsibility of the author alone.
