What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2006
Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar's artwork that gathers sentences containing 'I feel' from blogs and shows them in six interactive views.
Started in August 2005 and launched on 8 May 2006, it collected 15,000 to 20,000 feelings a day, and a 2009 book analysed about 12 million of them. It became a defining example of internet art and data visualisation.
In 2006: Launched on 8 May, with its six views named Madness, Murmurs, Montage, Mobs, Metrics and Mounds.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
