Chris Healey, Guerilla’s Joomla! Jedi warrior (i.e., content management geek) is aiming to take over the world—the world of online arts and culture content, that is.
He has recently launched The Art Colossus, a massive arts and culture entity made up entirely of current information from syndicated and search engine feeds, Guerilla included.
“The Art Colossus wants to be the largest single source for arts and culture news and resources in the universe,” says Healey. “Art makes you strong,” he adds, as if we didn’t already know!
And fear not. The Art Colossus is not some scary automated machine indiscriminately chewing through cyberspace. Rather, the feeds are carefully chosen and include everything from grassroots to the world's largest organizations. Feeds are also created ustilizing yahoo! and google.
To get to the good stuff (or at least your idea of the good stuff) you can use the browse feature to get content presented in defined areas or the search feature to get information narrowed down. You can also register to contribute content.
"There is no Colossus, there is only a shell filled with the titanic hugeness of your expectations. It is your mind that projects these expectations — the Colossus is you." ~ C. Healey, 2006
