Reportages
I travel across the net like a Japanese tourist in Europe. I jump from a place to another.
I travel across the net like I was a reporter to tell about place made by images.
“Essentially the camera makes everyone a tourist in other people’s reality, and eventually in one’s own.” (Susan Sontag “On Photography”)

Space
I’ll show the way to that place, I’ll give the references about its physical existence. Things in the net have precise addresses.
“Synthetic computer generated imagery is not an inferior representation of our reality, but a realistic representation of a different reality” (Lev Manovich -The language of new media , 2001)

Data base
I’ll take pictures of data bases interfaces which use space representations. I get into the representations game, and I take it seriously.
“... defining navigation method through spatialized representation (of multimedia data base)”
(Lev Manovich -The language of new media , 2001)

Travel Agency
Sometimes, when I guide people through the net, I feel like a tour operator. And this (project, ndt) reminds me of a travel agency catalogue.
I show the places and I give links. You can skip directly into the place you like the most, you can leave and go yourself.
“Because Internet is not just another “media”, as the Old media advertises, but it is a space,similar to the American Continent immediately after it has been discovered, anything that can be found on the web, has a physical presence: it occupies real estate”. (Miltos Manetas, Websites, the art of our times) “

Pictures
I am using a software whose icon is a camera. I can capture screen slices. They are web page snapshots. The Cut&Paste operation is allowed in the new media, it is the natural development of photography into digital spaces.
Do they belong to me? They do the way it does the house and the mountain I’m taking picture of .
“To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed” (Susan Sontag “On Photography”)

Frames
I choose reality slices in squared shape. I move the selection.
I decide format, dimension, poit of view, I can zoom.
And I take the shot.

Adherence to the reference
They are the most real pictures you can take. They have the most possible adherence to the reference. They are real emanations of the object, its footprint.
There is no transposition.
There isn’t any chemical and optical process cause they are digital images into a digital world. They are a perfect copy of a reality slice during a single instant. And it couldn’t be different.
“The photograph is literally an emanation of the referent.” (Roland Barthes - La chambre claire. Note sur la photographie -1980)

Has been
They say what you see it is what “has been” What you can see it is a frame of what is happening on the screen during a given moment.
And that screen is a window on the net.
" What I see has been here, in this place which extends between infinity and the subject (operator or spectator); it has been here, and yet immediately separated; it has been absolutely, irrefutably present, and yet already deferred." (Barthes, - ibid.)

Time
I tell the date and moment of the shots. And it is the time of the fuso of where I am. Here in Milan. Where those things happened.
Maybe they will appear the same way to a new traveller, as they were pyramid, or they can simply disappear, as net memories. Time will give the net a new life. Time will make the net flows into the river of the events.
“The decisive moment” (Cartier Bresson - 1952)

Not even ruins
Sites disappear in a so definitive way they could not do outside. Neither ruins remain, nor any sign of a presence.
