Hello all.
Here is presentation proposal for the "networks, art, & collaboration"
conference.
Note that the prototype is in-progress. I am hoping to have it on-line
within the next week. The description that follows and new link to the
project is at
www.wildernesspuppets.net/annotator/
Description:
"The Interrupting Annotator" is an on-line interactive tool to support the
activity of collaborative annotation, geared toward on-line video
streams.(The prototype is currently limited to streaming RealVideo files
from the website of CSPAN.) The annotator software is designed to archive
textual annotations and replay these same annotations (all annotations
written by oneself and others) by re-inserting them in the selected video
stream at the exact same point that they have been entered. A paradoxical
visual effect occurs, in that the original video is progressively occluded
or obliterated by the accretion of annotations as these are re-inserted
into the video stream.--------------------------------
