Why should 'art' still designate that which already breaks away from art
– away from what has always been conceived and signified under that
name – or that which, not merely escaping art, implacably destroys it?

The work featured here asks this important question by creating formally
innovative hypertext narratives, language-morph java applets,
transdisciplinary shockwave animations, and image+text "digital
apparitions" where the author/artist function has transformed into what
Vilem Flusser called a "dense distribution of point elements." DIGITAL
STUDIES is a cyberspace moving-picture theory that imposes on us not
only a new ontology but a new anthropology, one where alternative worlds
are built through a parallel process of extreme (inter)networking.
