The Department of Fine Arts at the University of Colirado at Boulder,
in conjunction with the Alt-X Digital Arts Foundation (www.altx.com),
invites you to an artist presentation by visiting artist Mark Tribe.
Mark Tribe is an artist and curator whose interests lie at the
intersection of emerging technologies and contemporary art. He is the
founder and executive director of Rhizome.org, an online platform for
the international new media art community. His latest art project,
<color><param>0000,0000,FFFF</param>Revelation 1.0</color>
(commissioned by Amnesty International), looks at the aesthetic
armature of the Amnesty USA web site by stripping away its text and
graphics, leaving only blocks of color and photographic images.

Recent curatorial projects include the computer art section of
<color><param>0000,0000,FFFF</param>Game Show</color> (co-curated with
Alex Galloway), an exhibition of artist's games at MASS MoCA in North
Adams, Massachusetts and
<color><param>0000,0000,FFFF</param>net.ephemera</color>, an exhibition
of sketches, notes and diagrams by 25 New York-based net artists at
Moving Image Gallery in New York City.

Tribe was recently Visiting Assistant Professor and Artist in
Residence at Williams College. Prior to founding Rhizome.org, he lived
in Berlin, where he worked as an artist and web designer. He received a
MFA in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994
and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990.
