The introduction paragraph of Palmer describes the situation of liveness, the setup of liveness.
The reality is constantly shifting as the (networked) environment is never stable.
-> side note: may be the liveness that I am looking has a subtle layer of surveillance notion, 'monitoring' the network happening at some sense. See Palmer quote here "Watching 'real' people live out their lives in public is increasingly sparking our televisual imaginations"
" there's often only the very faint sense that something might happen"-> the possibility.. or unpredictability? This resonates with earlier liveness literature review that I have done.

The introduction paragraph of Palmer describes the situation of liveness, the setup of liveness.
The idea is simple: a video camera takes pictures at set intervals, the images are digitally compressed and instantly uploaded to an Internet server, where they become immediately available to anyone surfing the World Wide Web.Set up by a minority of dedicated netizens, the still images are usually transmitted around the clock, delayed only by the time it takes them to unveil on the screen. "The notion of liveness that is described here is not related to audience, but more about reality and real time technology. The actual transmission of data that is happened around in the city. (This relates to social/society as all the artworks represented in the web were about real situation) - see quote here " the visible world is periodically disclosed" That possibly I call the representation of the society as reality. However, reality can be also thought of nonhumans, computation is constantly reacting, encoding, decoding and transmitting the data.
