Following the recent retrospective of Andy Deck's work at Furtherfield
he will join Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow in the VisitorsStudio for a
real-time multimedia interview about his work. This event will combine a
discussion of his work and unique, live, collaborative mixes of images,
animations and sounds sampled from past and current projects. The
interview will explore the following issues and more….

- about artists cultivating a political awareness and taking a political
stance in their work.
- 'Visiting Artists', collective authorship and activating audiences.
- war sim games and the potential to create counter-narratives against
the corporate driven war inevitability myth.

*About Andy Deck*
Creating art software since 1990 and then moving onto the Internet in
1994 Andy Deck displays his digital based explorations at
artcontext.net and andyland.net

'In the net art activist world there have been many inspiring talents
who have shone through the flickering, radiated haze of our computer
monitors. Andy Deck is one of those individuals who, has somehow
succeeded in maintaining a consistent integrity in his work, without
glorifying himself above the work itself. Instead of falling for the
whimsical self-historicizing art = personality myth, he has chosen to
position his work in a socio-cultural context, actively questioning
life's political struggles. He also collaborates with other artists and
with people who are not seen or known as artists.' From 'Andy Deck
Retrospective' by Marc Garrett
