011000 is a result of the reflections derived from Cartemas, by Aloísio Magalhães, and the possibilities that digital media and the Internet bring as an artistic tool. Cartemas, Aloísio’s artistic production, represent an exchange between art and design, in which formal procedures such as mirroring, rotation and modulation with postcards can be seen, generating unique and unusual compositions. Through a postcard people can visit any place in the world without leaving home. On 011000, the postcard is linked to the opportunities that digital media and the Internet have to offer, such as getting to know a place in real time, through images, sounds or texts, by means of webcams and online radios and news. In the same way that Aloísio appropriated postcards to create artistic compositions, this work appropriates available data on the Internet to create compositions that engage in conversation with their own medium. 011000 is an interactive net art, whose combinations of webcams, news and radios get constantly renewed, for they are updated in real time. It is a work of art in flux, of transient updatings, whose images are pieces of a potential composition that will only be updated through the action of an interactor. Today, more than ever, multiplicities, be they of time, as well as of societies, music, languages and alterities, are the data that establishes and enriches the speedy exchange of information and communication in cyberspace. Repetition, cutting, overlapping, mirroring, simultaneity and optical games are key words that permeate the creation of this work of art. * (Cartema is a neologism representing collage graphical experiments
