Homepage is one's identity in the Net. The first impression of a homepage often crucially affects our wish to go deeper into it. A human being can't have different faces at a discretion, a book can't have different covers simultaneously, a song or film can't ...
Channel, the national Internet network of media arts organisations, is calling for artists' proposals for internet projects that explore the theme of the digital or imaginary city.
Listening to Sonic Net's "Cybercast" of the Soundlab Anchorage party from earlier this month, I'm developing great sympathy for Astronauts. This must be what it's like to listen to music aboard the space shuttle Columbia.
I've gone to Soundlab's parties since Christmas, when they were thrown ...
At the end of each month, beginning July 31, 1996, HILUS intermediale Projektforschung (research group), in Vienna, will open the door to their information platform to host an evening cocktail and give guided Internet tours on selected Info-Topics ...

Surfer heaven! *Phat* and all a dat, if "the intersection of art, technology, theory, and community" wets your whistle. Pass this one on. I need a napkin.
As artists and curators are coming to the web to create, programmers and non-artists who are its native inhabitants are being labeled "folk" artists. I find this disturbing. Frankly, what most programmers and non-art school web practitioners create should not be confused with ...
Babel As in the tower of…, is the ultimate in Retro-antiquity-Techno presentation of new media art. This site slams liguistic hegemonies (as does RHIZOME) and replaces them with notions of a chaotic language splendor.
