My goal here for the ontology project is not only to clarify the many 
fuzzy issues regarding the knowledge structure of media arts, but to 
work toward a system of networked micro-ontologies (micro, meaning 
domain specific ontologies). The network in itself transforms the 
micro-ontology system into a macro-ontology which essentially would be 
a compehensive knowledge map. Making ontologies immersive, either 
graphically or textually (OM: Ontology MOO) would in effect transform 
the 'map' into an inhabited knowledge system - while the system grows 
and shrinks from day to day, and year to year  - insert the time lapse 
photography here :).    (01)

I am interested in the aesthetics of the dynamic knowledge structure 
itself, and the pragmatic or discourse aspect of media arts. An 
Ontology of Media for example, will hopefully emerge here as a very 
interesting discourse node (rather, I know it exists; I would just like 
to find it, or focus it). I am interested in the technology which will 
visualize and maintain the massive object oriented system. The 
organization of the onotology net should 'emerge' rather than be 
categorically manipulated. That is why I am interested in 
micro-ontologies and bottom-up design methods (rather than the upper 
ontology projects). The upper ontologies should result from the 
application of different types of algorithms applied to the network for 
some given purpose.    (02)
