fineArt forum August02: New look for fAf
http://www.fineartforum.org

A NEW LOOK
———-

The August edition of fineArt forum launches a new look. Designed by
QUT Communication Design students, Gavin Thiesfield and Elizabeth
Amon, fAf is now more user-friendly and offers maximum accessibility.
"The strikingly retro redesign is reminiscent of 60s and 70s space
age industrial design incorporating the right connections with
technographic histories as well as providing the best possible online
reading experience," Australian Editor, Linda Carroli writes in her
editorial.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE?
————————

Also this month, fAf launches a new project, Favourites and invites
you to tell us all about your 'favourites'. In 750 - 1500 words, you
are invited to write about your favourite work/s in field of art,
science or technology. This could be a book, website, CD-ROM,
hypertext, artwork, soundwork, project, portal, discovery or any
other event or contribution to new media practice and theory, which
you believe is influential, significant, innovative, experimental or
simply, your favourite. Contributions received by 1 November will be
published in the January 2003 issue of fAf. For more info contact
l2.carroli@qut.edu.au

PERIPHERAL PROPERTY - ONLINE EXHIBITION
—————————————-

http://www.fineartforum.org/Gallery/current_index.html
In fAf's online gallery, new media artist, lecturer and writer Molly
Hankwitz presents the first instalment of 'Peripheral Property'.
Peripheral Property by Molly Hankwitz is an autobiographical piece
emerging out of the artist's personal interest in the latent, myriad
poetries of the commercial website eBay and similar "architectures"
of things. "In new media, as in all art, we often find ourselves
restructuring and reordering information to form a continuity of
idea," Hankwitz said. "Memory-retrieval, performed subjectively is
both psychoanalytic and highly personal, a way of reconstituting
desired events selectively to organize a new whole. Peripheral
Property is a conceptual document then, which deals with these arenas
of process and value." Visitors to the site are invited to view the
project's current phase and as it develops over time.

IN THIS MONTH'S ISSUE

For this month's feature, we are pleased to present a dialogue from
three of the moderators of Undercurrents, a newly established listerv
addressing cyberfeminism, globalisation and race. Maria Fernandez,
Irina Aristarkhova and Coco Fusco discuss their reasons for
initiating Undercurrents as well as some of the political objectives
of the list.
