Exhibiting net art /certain digital art etc. in a real (gallery) space is a difficult thing.

This is a really nice video by ljubliden for minilogue (on spreeblick today)
and the image above has nothing todo with it.

One difficulty with displaying (mainly) conceptional works is that a lot of these works have no full and immediate sensory output – especially those with not many interactive and performative ingredients. In other words: it is hard to see an idea/imagination/thought if it is represented only in a few images/ sound/ narratives/ descriptions etc.

A possible random Delaunay triangulation (screenshot from the applet)

Just a link to an instructive applet on Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations as appearing in computational geometry.

From the site:

• The Voronoi Diagram has the property that for each site (clicked with the mouse) every point in the region around that site is closer to that site than to any of the other sites.
• The Delaunay Triangulation is the geometric dual of the Voronoi Diagram. Alternately, it can be defined as a triangulation of the sites with the additional property that for each triangle of the triangulation, the circumcircle of that triangle is empty of all other sites.

In the above applet the user can switch between the two constructions.

->Another Delaunay triangulation application (java webstart) from Markus.

update 22.02.2011: the above image is a still from the below referenced film.

From the SDSS homepage:

SDSS is systematically mapping a quarter of the entire sky, producing a detailed image of it and determining the positions and absolute brightnesses of more than 100 million celestial objects. It is also measuring the distances to a million of the nearest galaxies, giving us a three-dimensional picture of the universe through a volume one hundred times larger than that explored to date. SDSS is also recording the distances to 100,000 quasars — the most distant objects known — giving us unprecedented knowledge of the distribution of matter to the edge of the visible universe.
