I don't understand -- is this visualization available on the site, or is the site just an advertisement for some art installation somewhere (and if so, where/when??)


I know I shouldn't be that kind of guy, but http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3090481 :)

Anyway, wonderful example of making art from data. I recommend http://www.generatorx.no/ and http://rhizome.org/ if you'd like to indulge in similar artyfacts.


Is this just an advertisement that Geocities was shut down? And that I can get the dump on bittorrent?


Could not watch the whole video for the bastardization of Beck.


Let's face it though, no music quite conjures up the feeling of Geocities like a terrible midi version of a beck song.

Should have included a few "under construction" GIFs too IMO.


but the soundtrack did fit the zeitgeist quite well
