- excerpt from Oxford Dictionary, 1971

Sean Kerr's BEATER is where prog-rock meets minimalism. A
non-representational flashing with little or no meaning. Dots just
keep on repeating in time with simple beats. BEATER is part 7 from
Sean Kerr's new minimalist series, 'dot', especially created for the
web and CCP's e-Media Gallery. It is work that critiques art making
and art politics. It is also an investigation into traditional
methods of minimalist abstraction (painting), contemporary
technologies, popular culture and humour.

BEATER is a multi-user work. Up to 50 people can 'perform' together
at one time, from any networked computer anywhere in the world. What
we see and hear is the collective result of this interaction.
