Apologies if you have received this more than once:

Desktop Icons is an exciting collection of short digital films and videos
by Scottish and international artists, exploring the cross over of popular
culture, media and new creative technologies.

The computer 'desktop' culture is often over-hyped as the mantra for the
new century. It informs our present lifestyle choices, the way we create
and consume today. Desktop Icons aims to de-construct and expose the
desktop metaphor and its iconography - still considered the main element
of the human-machine interface or a window to the digital world. Desktop
Icons also borrows references from the world of popular infotainment. This
is the brave new world where the new screen icons are promised their 15
Megabytes of fame. Seduced and manipulated by the new communication
technologies, we are all promised a glimpse if not a slice of this world.

Artists include Chris Cunningham (England), Kristin Lucas (USA), Michael
Maziere (England), Matt Hulse (Scotland), Phil Collins (N.Ireland), Mark
Wallace (Scotland), Richard Fenwick (England), Beagles and Ramsay
(Scotland), Linda Wallace (Australia), Mike Stubbs (Scotland), COM&COM
(Switzerland), Simon Ellis (England), Torsten Lauschmann (Scotland) and
many others from South Korea, Croatia, Austria, Germany, Belgium, France,
Japan and Sweden.
