also come to a reading/sighting of myself and more.

Innocent Images prosecutions increased by more than 50 percent over the last two years. We’re making progress. Just like we’re hunting the terrorists down one at a time, we’re hunting these predators down one at a time, too. Based on the progress, I’m pleased to announce that we will expand this program and significantly increase the funding in the next fiscal year. We will also seek to almost double funding for the Internet crimes against children task forces, from $6.5 million in fiscal year 2002 to $12.5 million in fiscal 2003. These task forces help state and local authorities enforce laws against child pornography and exploitation.

Since 1998, the task forces have helped train more than 1,500 prosecutors, and 1,900 investigators. They’ve served 700 search warrants and 1,400 subpoenas. The task forces have provided direct, investigative assistance in more than 3,000 cases. They’ve arrested more than 1,400 suspects. These task forces are a great success. They’re a great success because we’ve got a lot of good people working on these projects, a lot of dedicated Americans whose stomachs turn when they realize what’s happening to our children, great Americans who decided to do something about it.

dichomety(), 2008
projected video, timed elements installation
dismantled
shown at unl open studio night, november 14th, 2008

using  31 dichotomies from an essay called The Cyborg Manifesto by Donna Haraway

a google image query gets made each time a new word is displayed

the 20 or so results are shuffled and then displayed

a minimum of five computers need to be running and processing data (with countless in between to handle the traffic moving hundreds of miles) to complete this: your own, my webserver, google, and two webservers that host the dichomety-queried image.

i built it using php/javascript, see the code.

“It is my conviction that culture works very effectively to make invisible and even “impossible” the actual affiliations that exist between the world of ideas and scholarship, on the one hand, and world of brute force politics, corporate and state power, and military force, on the other. The cult of expertise and professionalism, for example, has so restricted our scope of vision that a positive (as opposed to an implicit or passive) doctrine of noninterference among fields has set in. This doctrine has it that the general public is best left ignorant, and the most crucial policy questions affecting human existence are best left to “experts,” specialists who talk about their specialty only, and- to use the word first given wide social approbation by Walter Lippmamn [sic, see walter lippmann] in Public Opinion and The Phantom Public-”insiders,” people (usually men) who are endowed with the special privilege of knowing how things really work and, more important, of being close to power.”
