  * A short description of the work — less than 200 words in length.

He describes it: "It's a writing performance over the net combining 1) keyboard
writing,
2) machinated, algorithmic writing, and 3) feeds from the processes surrounding
the writing (like system monitoring, net connection monitoring, ftp log,
etc). All in realtime and plaintext."
I believe it's intended to be done live, but he ran a session and customized it
for e and eye/tate. "When opening in the browser it should scroll rather
smoothly downwards, and then jerk up and down some, and then some more."
