1996 - Refresh Action Manifesto - Alexei Shulgin, Vuk Ćosić y Andreas Broeckmann

Texto

A Multi-Nodal Web-Surf-Create-Session for an Unspecified Number of Players

... poetic - exploring instability, unpredictability, flow of electrons, feeling the universe, extasy of true joint creativity, hopping through space, countries, cultures, languages, genders, colours, shapes and sizes ... [want to add smth?]

If you don't get depressed by homeless homepages and wandering websites, if you have shed the hope that names and places in webspace will always have a fixed locality, and if you don't mind to get zapped after 10 seconds, why not join 'Refresh', the friendly web-design frenzy that we have started on Sunday 6 October 1996, 18.00-22.00hrs CET.

We will be continuously extending the 'Refresh'-loop of specially designed webpages which are interlinked and which sit on our different servers all over the world.

Here are some of the details you need to know to participate:

Major Refreshment:

If you have access to a website and you can handle some basic webdesign, then:

1. Check the Refresh thing at

2. create your own Refresh-page, call it <http;://[your server]/fresh.htm> , with three links on it:

• to a project description und current status page -

<a; href="http://sunsite.cs.msu.su/wwwart/refresh.htm">Refresh;: Read and Join</a>

• to the current next to Alexei's Refresh page (a page that appears after http://sunsite.cs.msu.su/wwwart/fresh.htm) by inserting

NEXT <a; href="[next to Alexei's page]">[next to Alexei's page]</a>

• to your main page (optional).

3. now you have 2 options:

• (guaranteed) link it to the current next to Alexei's Refresh page (a page that appears after http://sunsite.cs.msu.su/wwwart/fresh.htm) by inserting

<META; HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=[next to Alexei's page]"> before the first html-tag of your Refresh page and emailing your Refresh page url to the coordinator JLuc FAUBERT (jlf@noname.fr),

• (challenging because we can't be responsible for people's good will) try to join it at any other node by inserting <META; HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=http://[Refresh page owner server]/fresh.htm"> and contacting owner of the previous Refresh page asking to change his/her Refresh link to your Refresh page.

BUT WATCH OUT:

• no shockwave
• no plug-ins
• no publicity except of the page owner
• no commercial pages
• 10 sec refresh rate - keep it short !
• three links maximum on page
• the whole Refresh page (fresh.htm file + all pictures) should not exceed 32K

Minor Refreshment

Surf the fresh-pages.

VERY IMPORTANT, THINK OF THE OTHERS !! Thanks to inform JLuc FAUBERT if you change your address or if you want to quit the Refresh project :-(
