transmedia
Backtransmedia allows a user to enter a web URL in a text field and then presents as end result a network of connected key words, extracted from the web page in question. The web of key words react to various frequency amplitudes of sound generated by the HTML code (hyper text mark-up language) itself - moving up and down and causing the web to distort constantly. Several steps of translation and algorithmic code are displayed next to the end result. Some general issues related to algorithms arising out of this work are keyword extraction and search engine algorithms, & intelligent linking between sites based on keyword analysis, translations of information into multiple formats (creating what is termed a rich media interface), etc. By translating the code itself into a form of sound, transmedia displaces the usual configuration of code-manipulating-form and instead presents code-as-form. The focus is shifted from information content to the algorithm as content. The sound is then applied to the web of extracted keywords; a metaphor for algorithmic control of media on the web.
