Dear NMF readers,

The editors of New Media Fix -http://newmediafix.net - are pleased to announce
the Pacific Rim Visual Directory - a project by Aaron Siegel.

The Pacific Rim Visual Directory attempts to address several different facets
of the Pacific Rim new media arts community. In one aspect it acts as a tool for
analyzing trends in regionally associated individuals creative interests, in
another way it acts as a social networking tool for discovering artists with
the same interests as you, and in yet another way it acts as an emergent
organization of collaborations and organizations.

The visual directory makes associations between relationships by drawing a
yellow line for a shared interest, an orange line for a shared organization
affiliation, and a red line if the two artists have collaborated together. By
clicking on a red dot you can explore a short profile of the artist that it
represents. To add yourself to the directory, simply zoom in on your location
and press the shift button while clicking, and you will be prompted with an
input form.

The Pacific Rim Visual Directory was first published in SWITCH, an
online journal of new media arts activities run by graduate students
enrolled in the CADRE Laboratory for New Media at San Jose State
University. SWITCH aims to critically evaluate developments in art and
technology in order to contribute to the formation of alternative
viewpoints with the intention of expanding the arena in which new art
and technology emerge.

Aaron Siegel is a new media artist, currently residing in San Jose,
California, while completing his BFA in Digital Media Art at the CADRE
Laboratory for New Media. His current work follows the ideals of
presenting unbiased information in a format that is easy for visual
deconstruction and understanding. He aims to achieve an overlapping
relationship with aesthetic representations of data and scientific
empiricism. His work strives to display relationships and correlations
within information systems that would remain unseen from any other
perspective.
