My response to the alt.youth.media exhibit

still allow informal expression ...

I applaud the concept of investigating youth culture through how it

Thoughts on ISEA

Some Further thoughts on Electronic Art…in relation to ISEA/DEAF

At ISEA/DEAF so much focus was placed on 'interaction' that many notions
like content, aesthetics etc… ran secondary to the nature of this
interaction… A lot of work looked at interaction in different ways,
beyond the keyboard and mouse ...

the Liberation of NameSpace

Stalinistic limitations on the possibilities of network names are a

Festival Art: Fujihata at ISEA and Mikami at DEAF

In a fitful exhibition of virtual domains at ISEA 96, of all the worlds
on show, I would want to live in Masaki Fujihata's *Beyond Pages*. It is
not its evocation of childish wonder, nor the classicism of its decorous
