Minitasking
Gnutella is the famous peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. "Minitasking" attempts to visually show the relationships of the computers on that network. And does it very well. It is beautiful to look at and will bring out the most voyeuristic tendencies in the viewer as they watch the various search strings appear on their screens. A strangely engaging use of common internet technology.
"Minitasking" is a visual software based on a standard Gnutella peer-to-peer system. "Minitasking" displays the features of dynamic and temporary networks visually, and so makes their instability and data transmission transparent. This program is essentially concerned with how computers work, with data processing and their visualization for applications in collective and dynamic environments.
