http://www.fraclr.org/~abrahams/perl/iamanartwork.pl  has been
commissioned by the FRACLR in 2002. The piece (in perl)  collected
visitor reactions and traced them by IP to influence the colours of
the page layout. This was a way to point to the fact that the visitor
wasn't anonymous, something a lot of visitors weren't aware of in
2002.

More important, and still actual, the piece permitted to openly ask if
a piece of "net art" could be "art" on the site of an official French
art institution.

The 24th of September all the French entries of the piece will be read
in public during a performance in the show called "Chauffe Marcel ! "
organised by the same art institution.

Two microphones will be placed about 10 meters one from another. One
will be used to amplify the "yes" phrases the other the "no" phrases.


The performance will be followed by a special guided visit of the show
by  Emmanuel Latreille its curator.

  Thanks for your attention
  Annie Abrahams
