Code
Zebra is a digital project aiming to create a dialogue
between the worlds of art and science. At its core is
a Web chat environment which maps and creates conversations.
But Code Zebra is not the average chat-room. Borrowing
an interface from the biological world, users can generate
visual conversation histories, play games with each
other and generate their own patterns which hark back
to the animal kingdom. The metaphor of patterns is important
to Code Zebra: they show relationships between postings,
links between topics and the emotional qualities of
any conversation.
Beyond
the Website (www.codezebra.net),
the project has many further elements, notably performances
and installations, research and “softwear”
fabrics which take animal patterns as their cue. Led
by Sara Diamond, artistic director, Media Visual Arts,
The Banff Centre, the Code Zebra team spans the globe:
the artists, designers, academics and software engineers
working on it are based in Canada, the USA, The Netherlands
and the UK.
