ENRIQUE RADIGALES - IDEALWORD http://www.idealword.org IdealWord is a project hosted on the Internet the aim of which is to explore the various definitions of the written word in digital contexts and their subsequent reconversion into physical (analogical) resolutions and environments. Idealword.org is also the first chapter of a trilogy: idealword.org, idealword.net, and idealword.com. The other two chapters - –not produced yet— will approach the subject in a different light, applying a new conception and technical production, but without drifting apart from the original notion of the IdealWord project. Idealword.org is a product of the new art societies. It is unfinished –and probably it will not have any outcome whatsoever–. Though the project started (05022003) with the purpose of overcoming several technical barriers to create a work methodology that was both simple and reconciling with the digital production tools, it has developed into domains closer to the individual, domains where fascination for technology wanes in favour of a wider speech. Idealword.org provides a space for simulating the artistic traditions within digital environments. It is a space where idealword.org items are mutually and happily sampled and redefined with the sole goal of confusing the technical genre. Perhaps the (fragmented, disoriented or multiple) user who explores idealword.org will find it closer to the simultaneous space-time experience than of an informational matter, but this is a risk the actors and stages of idealword.org are totally aware of. The new digital environments gave birth to a new artistic production that redefines and feeds our contemporary needs. The new typographic culture, the development of hypertext as a browsing model (specific usability), the prose of code or the compiling languages used by programmers are just a few examples of how the written word acquires prominence in digital environments.
