[spectre] Project Features: spotlight on Geert Dekkers

[{feature05}]

"Project Features"
http://features.nmartproject.net
is happy to present during June 2005
its 5th feature:
--->
Geert Dekkers (the Netherlands)
and his weblog - an interactive netart piece, entitled:
"a drawing a day on nznl.com"
.
Project statement
.
nznl.com is in essence a weblog, the twist being that the software is so written that a drawing is expected every day at exactly 00:00 Central European Time.
The subject matter varies from day to day somewhat, but is almost invariably linked to a plan -- that is, something to be done in the future. Most drawings feature a "white cube", and some goings-on therein.
nznl.com is an ongoing work. As all things must, it did start at a certain point in time (May 19. 2002), but from there on it is a straight line into the future.
A nznl.com digest is published weekly on major net.art lists.
