- In 1994 a Swiss corporation called Etoy was formed by a group of European artists. This corporation described its self as a "corporate sculpture" that "crosses and blurs the frontiers between art, identity, nations, fashion, politics,technology, social engineering music, power and business to create a massive impact on global markets and businesses." The raised funds for their projects and issued a stock on its share holders. (NP)
* In 1999 online merchant called Etoys had received a complaint for the profanity from a customer who accidentally went to the Etoy website. Etoys offered etoy $516 00 US to change there name when in reality Etoy had registered there site 2 years before Etoys, Etoy decined there offer. Etoy. Etoy was frusterated with Etoys for making the offer so they designed a "toy war" by using the internet as a battlefield by making a game to attack etoys, they also created chat rooms and anti Etoys websites. It all ended in jan 2000 Etoys dropped there law suit. This ended up being the most expensive performance in art history.
2. ART:
- the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
- the class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of art collectively, as paintings, sculptures, or drawings: a museum of art; an art collection.
- a field, genre, or category of art: Dance is an art.
- any field using the skills or techniques of art: advertising art; industrial art.
- illustrative or decorative material: Is there any art with the copy for this story
* I think that what these artists did was art because instead of conforming like all other businesses they did what they wanted and made people think about there sculptures. Art is apart of thinking out side the box and making people really think about your work and that's exactly what they did :)
3. I would have made the same decision as they did not take the money. Especially because it was there idea first / they were there first so really etoys should of just changed the name if it was that big of a deal.
4. In a way i think that what they did was immature. They should have channeled there anger in another way. But they did end up fighting and winning. so in a way i think what they did was wrong.
A-trees
1. An artist named Natalie Jeremijenko created a virus that you could download for your printer. This "virus" calculates how many pieces of paper a printer has used. When the printer has used the equivalent of one medium sized tree's worth of paper, it automatically prints out a image of the ring cross section of a tree trunk. Eventually a tree or stump can be reconstructed by stacking the paper tree rings. This piece of art investigates the realationship between technology and the natural world.
This artist also created A trees which was another tree growth. It went on the destop of your computer and it grows like a plant in soil. This tree is actually programed to grow gradually in height. THe trees growth rate is determined by the level of actual level of carbon dioxide in the air in the micro environment surrounding the computer, measured by a real carbon dixoide metre.

3. I would have to say that i like the A-trees better then the stump. I say this because i feel like stump is a waste of trees it self. Its an amazing idea just a waste at the same time. Where as A-trees is more of a vertual example which gives about the same impact as the print out of a tree ring.
4. Umm, i going to have to say that they arent actually a living thing, just a replica of a living tree, i think its cool how it is effected by the actual carbon dixoide in your air. (This is what really makes you ask your self if it really is a living thing. )
