MANIFESTE DATADADA #1
c’est ma data là
mais ceci n’est pas de votre ressort
la data c’est GAFA
la datum c’est Badaboum
ma data est une poule aux oeufs d’or
Lucky la Data qui ne peut être vendue
Pâquerettes à Gogo
quand la data se manifeste,
cela fait à Dada
à hue et à dia !
quand la data se vide de sens
elle change de direction
je répète
la data c’est GAFA
la datum c’est Badaboum
la data, c’est comme un ange
Unisex et pur esprit
c’est la data là
c’est la data là
qu’on se le dise !
Get Lost Inside An Endless Loop On Magic-Ring.net
By Emerson Rosenthal — Apr 17 2012

In 1994, early internet archivist and researcher Denis Howe created EUROPa (Expanding Unidirectional Ring Of Pages), the first example of what internet pioneers would come to know as a webring, an enclosed community of websites organized in a circular structure around a certain theme.
While webrings peaked around 1998 with the niche-popularity of WebRing.com, the idea would exist today as little more than an artifact of what a few .net art historians might call Web 1.0… if not for the nostalgic efforts of a burgeoning group of French net artists.
From the Magic Ring central website, “The magic ring is a collection of artists’ websites linked together in a circular structure which is totally decentered and transparent […] we have decided to breathe new life into this format and rethink its interface in a radically different way.”
And radically different it is: boasting interactive projects from premiere GIF artist Francoise Gamma to educator, net, and installation artist Etienne Cliquet, the Magic Ring is a wistful homage to early internet archiving… that just so happens to feature really dope, exclusive net art in a digi-ontological sphere (pun totally intended).
So while your cursor circumnavigates the imaginary magic circle that allows you access to each page, take a brief moment to reminisce upon all the ones and zeroes that have fallen by the wayside. We’ll miss you, WebRings, GeoCities, and Internet Explorer… Now onto something new!
