[NetBehaviour] reMIXmyRELIGION (playdamage #107)

[curt at lab404.com]

Hi Anthony (and all),

Just for fun, here are the details… They gave me money to make any piece of net art I wanted without stipulation, so I made the next playdamage. I asked if they wanted me to put a dublicate version of it at a dedicated location, apart from the rest of the series, but they liked the idea of sponsoring a part of the ongoing project in context (and I liked that idea too). When I say “they,” it is just my friend Barry Jones.

So it’s just a one-time commission for that one page. They are not permanently sponsoring the whole project. Althought that would actually be awesome. $1000 per playdamage page. I would probably make a lot more pages. As is, to my knowledge it’s the only money I’ve ever made from playdamage, so that’s $1000 / 108 pages = $9.26 per page. Or $1000 / 14 years = $71.43 per year. That’s gross income, not net (I haven’t subtracted hosting and domain reservation fees).

I've been diggin' these playdamage re-mixes for years, but I wonder whether
the introduction of a commissioned status infringes upon your operational
considerations?
