Abstract

Description:

NodeMail is a visualization tool for email and a free and open device for social activism. The application renders NetActivism visible by exploiting email technology. It provides information about the social relations that configure the communication of any activism-related message.
 
Nodemail works as follows: everytime someone generates a message through our web, a principal node is created. For each user who receives the message, another node is created, and the hierarchies among these are maintained by chronologica order. In this manner, the user can see who has sent the message for the first time, to whom he or she has sent them, how it arrives, and which users it has gone through. The user can also see how far his or her voice reached, and how his or her contacts sent the message to others all the way to the thousands or millions. It is a free and open tool for social mobilization, for each user is free to use this device to send content.

30/11/2004 | MAIL 2.0 : Finished NODEMAIL version 0.4

NodeMail v 0.4

NodeMail is a visualization tool for email and a free and open device for social activism. The application renders NetActivism visible by exploiting email technology. It provides information about the social relations that configure the communication of any activism-related message.
 
Nodemail works as follows: everytime someone generates a message through our web, a principal node is created. For each user who receives the message, another node is created, and the hierarchies among these are maintained by chronologica order. In this manner, the user can see who has sent the message for the first time, to whom he or she has sent them, how it arrives, and which users it has gone through. The user can also see how far his or her voice reached, and how his or her contacts sent the message to others all the way to the thousands or millions. It is a free and open tool for social mobilization, for each user is free to use this device to send content.

Actually, Nodemail application is prepared for visualization only for one message, in the next versions improve for work with some messages in the same time and the message is creating by users of application.

08/09/2004 | MAIL 1.0 : Growning the IDEA

NodeMail v 0.0

Mar Canet and Jordi Puig decided to do a Net-Art project for promote activism in the net. Our proposal was about a visualization tool for displaying an email expansion over the net.

This tool allows the people to have a visulal reference of the electronic message flow, in such a way you could easily see the magnitude of readers (and sympathizers) that a message has got.It is also important how this tool shows the email route through the users, and the hierarchy about the transmission order.
