Cameras placed in the museum hall record the process of the formation of the factory and the audience visiting it. The images will be automatically gathered and sent to the server room, where every 30 minutes machines will generate stop motion animation, which then presents the progress of construction and illusory work, or the production of pointlessness. Automatic publication, unlimited access to the archive, and a decentralized net of video material distribution - all serve towards the continuous observation of The Factory.
All the machines that take part in the process of the factory activity, function on the basis of free software. The publication of stop motion animation is possible through the use of the Tutturu method, thanks to which the video material is automatically sent to people who have subscribed to publication channels. The logistics of the multimedia that has its source in the factory server room, refers to the monitoring of modern methods for optimization of the planning process: the realization and control of an efficient and economically effective flow of goods and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption. The purpose of monitoring is to full fill the customer’s demands, which, in the case of visitors to CoCArt, amounts to a need to get to know the virtually pointless Factory. The image of the factory and its workers – the audience, which is usually hidden from the sight of common people, becomes public.
The distribution channels used to send the multimedia generated in The Factory, and the documentation of the method used to automate the pointlessness of the process of exposing the pointlessness of The Factory, may be found on http://fabryka.obin.org/tutturu/
