Trode-Grid
This was the first grid ever finished. The center starter image was provided
by
Ed Stastny.
Participants include:
Harlan Wallach,
Ranjit Bhatnagar,
Lynn Bry and others.
Blake-Grid
This, the second grid ever finished, was created on May 4/5, 1994. The starter image, apparently an exerpt or section of an artpiece called "Blake's Giant", was submitted by
Harlan Wallach.
Other participants:
Ranjit Bhatnagar, Ed Stastny, Glenn Carnagey, Brett Wagner
and Decker.
Tanya-Grid
Tanya was, as you may have guessed, the third grid finished by the SITO group. Participants got most of it completed on May 6th, but the final images were added over the following week.
The centerpiece is a headshot of Tanya Harding...someone then threw in a Lorena Bobbitt shot and a hot pepper...this sent things into a spiralling chaotic foray of decay.
Participants: Ed Stastny, Harlan Wallach, Chris Horn, Ranjit Bhatnagar, and Lynn Bry.
Spelunk-Grid
Spelunk was the first output of the "linear-grid" process and was completed on Saturday, May 28, 1994. Mad mathers, fish, miners and icons...a quick grimey flash of activity.
Participants: Ed Stastny, Lynn Bry, Harlan Wallach and Annette Loudon.
Egg-Grid
Egg was initiated in May of 1994 and sat uncompleted most of the summer.
It was finally completed on Saturday, August 13, 1994, becoming the
second linear-style grid to ripen. Groping and zinging, shadowy figures lurke most umbraicly in this piece. A 3x3, OED won this tic-tac-toe (b1,2,3).
Participants: Noah Nakell, Annette Loudon, Ed Stastny, Lynn Bry and Ranjit Bhatnagar.
Radial-Grid
Initiated in May of 1994, finished on January 14, 1995.
Radial took quite a number of months to complete, but the experiment in
a gravity-free grid was quite successful. Finally completed in the wee
hours of Saturday, January 14, 1995, this grid was designed to be rotated.
Ideally, the grid will look neato from any direction (while other grids
have had a definate top and bottom). Quite a number of participants on this one.
Participants: Noah Nakell, Ranjit Bhatnagar, Lynn Bry, Emru Townsend,
VOIDMSTR, Russ McClay, Chris Horn, Andy Booth and Melanie Mitchell.
