OnlyOneNativeSpeaker - socialfiction.org
Visually, OnlyOneNativeSpeaker is simple and straightforward while the
contents alternate between playful, dense, poetic and esoteric. The home
page, with a white background, teal serif text and large red headers, is
roughly divided vertically in half. The left half contains a chatty yet
informative description of OnlyOneNativeSpeaker's purpose, along with an
exhortation for participation, while the right half contains several
lists of links grouped under the headings of "Infrastructure,"
"Languages," and "Categories." "Languages" is divided into several
subcategories: "Local," "Submitted," and "Of interest." "Infrastructure"
contains links to the OONS wiki, the OONS del.icio.us page, and an OONS
yahoogroups mailinglist, along with an email link to socialfiction.org
for language submissions. Reviewer: Alsion Colman.

Black Holes - Lewis LaCook.
One of the questions that faces those of us who wish to frame and seek
answers to the question of what is Net.Art, (or at least, what it could
be) is the consideration of what part of the project is Net dependant?
Has the artist used the internet merely as the carrier for the art work,
and therefore used it as a free and worldwide form of art gallery, or is
the work intrinsically borne on the web and unable to exist in any other
form? Is the artwork using the networked environment in such a way that
its content is in part formed by the medium? Reviewer: Mark Hancock.

Low-fi exhibition including works by: Radarboy, Cavan Convery, UK Museum
of Ordure, Mauricio Arango, James Coupe, Kate Rich.
This exhibition is ambitious in its breadth of concept, content and
range of networked technologies and while Low-fi accommodates some
experimental concept- stretching in a couple of the artworks, the show
is astutely curated. By not relying on the usual protocols of
established media art history to justify its existence, it manages to
communicate to new audiences without interfering with the artwork's
meanings. The supporting information is clear and unpretentious,
introducing the work in a way that serves to demystify the technology
and places its use well in the context of the artists' intentions.
Collaborative Review: Marc Garrett & Ruth Catlow.
