In a follow up to the discussion of degraded art forms in RHIZOME DIGEST
(and on the Tech90s BBS at www.tech90s.net), I'd like to announce that
the SINATRICON is now online at:

SINATRICON is an off/on-line pamphlet by Munro Galloway and Matt Smith.

If you are interested you can find SINATRICON at Printed Matter in NYC,
or contact me off list.

In regard to the thread on degraded mediums….
There is a a certain irony missing in allot of new media art in regard
to a intentionlly grungy or 'retro' aesthetic….this is why you'll
never see a commodore c-64 work or a low res amiga work at supposedly
cutting edge events like Siggraph….its all surface sheen and no dirt,
no funk.
