"...essentially a record of a four week journey through
the Highlands of Scotland..."
Equipped with laptop computers, modems, and digital imaging and
recording gear, artists Nina Pope and Karen J. Guthrie set out on
a four week journey through Scotland, documenting their adventures
and encounters in images, text, and sound, with daily updates to
their travel diaries on the Web.
And there you have the gist of it, but there is much, much more here.
From the original 'raw' source material (delightful reading), through
creative 'post-processing' (in Pieces), and an impressive and
intelligent analysis of the exercise (raising several points of
interest for all artists), there is something here for every visitor.
Highly recommended.
"It is a genuinely poignant place, but only slightly slightly
sinister. It reminded me of some of Rome's ruins..."
"...rather than constantly waiting for the next version
or upgrade perhaps we should be trying to participate as fully
as we can now -- while we are still able to affect the
development of this area..."

by Scottish artists Nina Pope and Karen J. Guthrie is a serious
exploration of the Web's potential for real time interaction with a
'remote audience' (the real purpose of this project). More, it is a
heck of an entertaining read and a fascinating glimpse into the
spirit and creativity of these intrepid artists.
