fashioning the potential of art on line

In another context GH wrote:

…Trying to equate what artists have done in the past i.e.
self-portrait-studio-reflexivity was the current conceptual trend of the
1970's art world. Vito Acconci's several video-performances come to
mind. It really has no relevance to what's happening in the 1990's.

Fashioning a virtual Artist?

A virtual artist? What would an artist be like in virtual reality? For
an artist, the creation of a virtual artist is a contemporary form of
self-portraiture. The artist who gazes into a mirror and puts paint on
canvas aims to capture much more than a self-likeness. Similarly, an
artist ...

media artist smack dab in the historical continuum… just like a painter.
The theme of Tech90s, it is worth mentioning, is to demystify technology.

expectation & degradation (from TECH90s)

New media artists, and work, encounter different expectations from
artists who work with old media. I wouldn't say it's easier to be a
painter than a new media artist, but the following discussion (taken
