[–] unicornporn 14y ago ↗ I know I shouldn't be that kind of guy, but http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3090481 :)Anyway, wonderful example of making art from data. I recommend http://www.generatorx.no/ and http://rhizome.org/ if you'd like to indulge in similar artyfacts.

[–] tezmc 14y ago ↗ Let's face it though, no music quite conjures up the feeling of Geocities like a terrible midi version of a beck song.Should have included a few "under construction" GIFs too IMO.

[–] jordanlev 14y ago ↗ I don't understand -- is this visualization available on the site, or is the site just an advertisement for some art installation somewhere (and if so, where/when??)
[–] endlessvoid94 14y ago ↗ Is this just an advertisement that Geocities was shut down? And that I can get the dump on bittorrent?
