Milestones of the Bristish History

To prepare our intensive session (next Tuesday) I invite you to study the milestones of the Bristish History. You can go to the following address :

http://www.britannia.com/history/timelines.html

This very detailed web site presents the sweep of the British History. It could be interesting for us to extract in every section (Medevial Britain, Restoration period...) the most important events. We could then build the "milestones of the Bristish history".

New York City Whitney Museum's Artport

Whitney Artport: Commisions > IDEA LINE by Martin Wattenberg
What has been happening in modern art on the Internet over the last years???
"The Idea Line displays a timeline of net artworks, arranged in a fan of luminous threads. Each thread corresponds to a particular kind of artwork or type of technology. The brightness of each thread varies with the number of artworks that it contains in each year, so you can watch the ebb and flow of different lines of thought over time. "

Annie Gentès showed me this and I think it's fascinating! Enjoy!
