Filename : 1105841711.LGL.2D.4000x4000.png, home-page-pic.png Original source : The OPTE project, 2005 and 2010 Image type : data modelisationÂ
Additionnal details : "This project was originally created to generate a picture (or map) of the Internet using a single computer and a single Internet connection to determine the relationship between every routable network on the Internet – in 24 hours. That was back in 2003-2004 when computing and networking technology were very limited, compared to what is possible today."
About the generated image : it's indexed and refers itself to a subset of signs (here IPv4 addresses : the protocole in the network layer in charges of the traffic) which are quantifiable. It's also iconic, because it represents a scale-free network (the image denotes the network, namely a relational system). The symbolic layer may make us thinking to a rhizomatic form, and to his propagation through time and space.Â
The Art of Distortion = Internet
Do we exist outside the web? This is an internet usage map (2007 - go to link to see the animated version)

Africa isn't there - although geographically it's bigger than USA and Europe together. A distorted real world. Our Matrix.
The web is here to distort the way of us seeing life, by seeing it free to serve, exchange, interact, more free than ever. Or not; here is a video of totally capturing New Yorkers' life, based on their Four Square check-ins.Â

Are you sure we're free?
At least, the distortions we build, always carry food for art, like the Opte Project. Internet mapping as art, our collective masterpiece in a permanent collection of MoMA.

A map of the internet by the Opte Project
A visualization from the Opte Project of the various routes through a portion of the Internet. Did you know the World Wide Web was born at CERN in 1989?!

Cosmic connections
Human interconnectedness virtual or not is beautifully cosmic. The Opte Project is an endeavor started by Barrett Lyon in 2003 to create publicly available visualizations of the web. Simply amazing.. Click on the images to get to the high-resolution version.
