Early chatbots, the Meta Machine and emergent behavior

A deep and roving interview with the great artist and writer Joseph Matheny. We talk: the origins of his legendary Ong’s Hat project in the very early days of the internet; mail art, collaboration,  and finding new media; the trajectory of ARGs and the internet; the power of synchronicity and art in driving a life’s path; location and folklore; much, much more. Not to be missed!
