The Origins of the Internet
“When the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite in 1957, the US government responded with dramatically increased support of technology research and development, much of it funded through the new Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). In 1966 Bob Taylor of ARPA’s computer research division obtained funding for a network called ARPANET to link computers so that resources and results could be shared more easily. He hired Larry Roberts of MIT to manage the project, which was based on newly-invented packet-switching technology. At the end of the 1969 the ARPANET began operating with four nodes: University of California at Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Stanford Research Institute, and University of Utah. That original ARPANET gradually grew into the Internet, which 30 years later had about 43 million nodes.
The early Internet, used primarily by engineers and scientists, was not at all user-friendly. As e-mail and file transfer protocols and programs matured, non-specialists started to use it. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee of the CERN high-energy physics lab in Europe proposed a protocol for the exchange of online documents which became the basis for the World Wide Web. The development in 1993 of the graphical browser Mosaic by Marc Andreessen and his team at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) made the web accessible to everyone and led to its explosive growth. Marc Andreessen and entrepreneur Jim Clark founded Netscape in 1994 to create a web browser based on the Mosaic project. Netscape Navigator quickly dominated the early browser market.”

I made this little guy last night - was cutting out felt within minutes of the postie delivering the handbag feet for the head! Thanks Jodie!
Crowds waving placards and flags with separation message gathered at the airport hours before his arrival.
I started a new project, project Message in a Bottle. I am creating little pieces of art, put them in a bottle, close them off with cotton fabric, wax and hemp string, and then release them into the river Rhine, hoping that someone will find them. More about the project can be found here:

Seiko discontinued the Message Watch about 12 years ago. The watch could receive simple text messages from a paging service, but the paging service went offline on December 31, 1999. The watch now of course no longer functions as a beeper, but can still be worn as a regular digital watch.
Is it really just a natural pattern made by woodworm...or a hidden message we are unable to translate....? I read a book about Ancient Egypt and the signs on papyrus seem to be similar to me ;-D
Okay, my message is clear - Have a nice day!!! ;-)
I placed drawings and messages into helium balloons, and let them off....I was interested in the notion of discovery and the curiousty people would feel if they ever came across one, Kind of in the same light as message in a bottle.
I did a double take on the sidewalk when I noticed that (someone sent me a message in stone) somehow newsprint became part of this concrete slab - I don't know how. Who's behind the message?
Sharing with you a funny Message on teachers day. quoteskull.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Message-on-teac...
ground me down
a fine powder ground
light
duck down light
let me find
the way between
your blinks
I want to finally
touch your soul
This installation by Ilya Kabakov is a part of the Münster Skulptur Projekte 1997.
From a distance it looks like an antenna mast. At the top of the mast there is a text written.
My first thought was, that it was a message to the outer worlds. I had to read the text to understand it was actually a message to me, standing there below.
The text says:
Mein Lieber! Du liegst im Gras, den Kopf im Nacken, um dich herum keine Menschenseele, du hörst nur den Wind und schaust hinauf in den offenen Himmel - in das Blau dort oben, wo die Wolken ziehen - das ist vielleicht das Schönste, was du im Leben getan und gesehen hast.
which translates to:
My Dear! You lay in the grass, head on your neck, no human soul around, you hear nothing but the wind and look up into the open sky - into the blue above, where the clouds float - this is maybe the most beautiful thing you ever did or saw in your life.
(thanks for help with translation traui)
This is one of my favorite Münster sculptures. Even though I was not brave enough to lay down in the grass (I was there right after a thunderstorm and everything was totally wet - as usually in Münster).
You can try to read the text yourself here.
See where the photo was taken or fly there (requires google earth).
Hazel made this tiny love note holder for me for Valentines day. The message is folded up and secreted ina slot in the side. Made of brass with copper rivets?
