It's Greek to me

Quietdrumming, a Greek blog, has a post about Ben Rosenbaum and my Tumbarumba project. Here's the post (in Greek) and here it is translated by Google into English:

Tumbarumba
for various reasons I had 2 years to sit and apovlakotho internet. The relationship I had with that was totally unfair. internet cafe and ruthless downloading. These days in my free time is abundant, I remembered again the magic of sitting in front of a screen and to constantly discover new things. The truth is that most are useless information that simply and jade fill the mind, but there are the others, well, what you live for and to employ long.

the reason for all this, is that just appeared on my screen and as a tumbarumba targeted by the author was indeed the unexpected and interesting sourealistiko.to tumbarumba is the project of Ethan Ham and Benjamin Rosenbaum, visual artist and writer respectively. Game begins by placing a simple extension to Firefox, the extension is not hurry, wait and suddenly will burn As we read in some light-hearted taflandeziki prescription or a review for the new album of Ash Pool. In practice, "tumbarumbas" is the gradual introduction of a pre-history in a literary text to read in your browser. just one day you will realize that what we read does not make any sense and then here you will see changes the cursor and clicking there, you will see that gradually added text that is related to the incomprehensible to be read. few clicks later, and after you receive a majority of the text will go to the homepage and in which we find throughout the history synodefomeni with images from Flickr, the selected random keywords SOME of the keimenou.kalo etsi;

to know that the author mostly target the momentum, to the surprise, so do not be afraid that afflicted in this application.

digital art, the Web 2.0; or perhaps both?

There's something really enjoyable about teasing out meaning from auto-translated text... it's kinda of like reading poetry. I've more than once translated text from English through a bunch of languages and back into English just so I can read the result. I've been thinking about making a Firefox add-on that would do that for web pages, but suspect the experience's charm would quickly fade.
