<DIV></DIV>fineArt forum August02: New look for fAf
<DIV></DIV>http://www.fineartforum.org
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>A NEW LOOK
<DIV></DIV>———-
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The August edition of fineArt forum launches a new look. Designed by
<DIV></DIV>QUT Communication Design students, Gavin Thiesfield and Elizabeth
<DIV></DIV>Amon, fAf is now more user-friendly and offers maximum accessibility.
<DIV></DIV>"The strikingly retro redesign is reminiscent of 60s and 70s space
<DIV></DIV>age industrial design incorporating the right connections with
<DIV></DIV>technographic histories as well as providing the best possible online
<DIV></DIV>reading experience," Australian Editor, Linda Carroli writes in her
<DIV></DIV>editorial.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE?
<DIV></DIV>————————
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Also this month, fAf launches a new project, Favourites and invites
<DIV></DIV>you to tell us all about your 'favourites'. In 750 - 1500 words, you
<DIV></DIV>are invited to write about your favourite work/s in field of art,
<DIV></DIV>science or technology. This could be a book, website, CD-ROM,
<DIV></DIV>hypertext, artwork, soundwork, project, portal, discovery or any
<DIV></DIV>other event or contribution to new media practice and theory, which
<DIV></DIV>you believe is influential, significant, innovative, experimental or
<DIV></DIV>simply, your favourite. Contributions received by 1 November will be
<DIV></DIV>published in the January 2003 issue of fAf. For more info contact
<DIV></DIV>l2.carroli@qut.edu.au

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