Subfusion an internet art browser by Stanza. Version One. 2001- 2002

Download for PC subfusion.zip

Subfusion is a new type of browser. It searches the net for images and sounds. It is an audio visual thesuraus. This browser can be downloaded which can be installed and run on your machine. It has a fully integrated generative audio visual system built into it.

Subfusion makes collages, cut out from the hybrid sections of the web, where sounds and images appear relevant to your search. This software fuses sound and images, it acts by constantly making collages and chopping them up again. The sounds are generative, spliced, chopped and looped.

This browser acts like a audio visual thesaurus. The top search field looks for images. Type in words and pictures appear. Use the slider to control various aspects of the images, ie their size or movement and speed. The lower search field looks for sounds online and the swithces make these sounds mix together.

Subfusion acts a on a series of codes that collects data from other websites. The notion of the image is transformed, subverted and re - appropriated. Everything becomes image just for a second.

More Examples and images.

Subfusion examples are the screens made in 2000 as experiments for this idea, using various types of data such as financial data, software icons, gif and icons from the net.

An artwork by Stanza. Thanks to all those who I have asked for technical advice on this project. Thanks most to 'atom oil' for gluing it all together coming up with workarounds and to 'toxi' who sorted the browser connection scripts.
