description of the work:

reVoltaire archive | net.art_kit [hosted at http://revoltaire.projects.v2.nl] is remixed by the author in a pataphysical way, in order to create for revoltaire.net domain a random browser called jam pack.

 

[reVoltaire archive is a work in progress |off-line and on-line| developed on a given equation that will have 0, -1 or 1 as a result. the reVoltaire archive files are perceived as elements of the equation. seen as a time line, the equation is not complete so far. for this reason parts of the archive can be accessed on cd-rom or on the net as independent works. // if x = 0, any affirmation loses its sense. zero is the golden number of hypermedia works. if x = -1, singularities and limits are abandoned and one can speak of the imaginary time where everything is possible. if x = 1, a numeric object is shown, as an effect of organizing, tuning or intentionally covering a sonorous or graphic space. this object, with no precise meaning, is named krestanatz. // reVoltaire archive features a number of characters with no spectacular biography and lazy above, who motivate their existence only through their name. rarely one of these characters undertakes anything and then the importance of the action can be ignored without any fear.]
