file types

I've been thinking about these new file types that are being released, massive database files that contain a range of media, data content. The manner of their production and the means of their distribution interest me greatly, that they might contain dynamic & static data, raster and vector operate as a meta file, database etc. My thought might be to develop a file type. '.kev' files for example, this file type might provide for a complete public art meta file dealing with some of the issues highlighted by the ReallyGoodBad public art project. Need to find more about file formats and how they gain interoperability.

Been thinking alot now about the idea of an online archive detailing public art projects. The original idea was quite damning: http://www.flickr.com/groups/698722@N20/ - and only wanted to portray bad public art, now i think something more along the lines of "reallygoodbad" - public art might be in order. I've contacted a few of the people I met at the public interface conference in Aarhus, for example Brett @ http://www.temporaryservices.org and Zoran, lets see how we go from there. But if we are talking bad, this beauty never fails to hit the spot. A joyous melding of utility and artifice - see it in weaver field, east london
