HI
below is a press release for a show some of us are in
here in the UK. After 20/21 it tours round the UK
pretty much until 2007. Hope some of you can make it
or at least check out the site.

NET:REALITY
: : : : :
Artwork by: Simon Biggs, Glorious Ninth, Neil Jenkins,
Jess Loseby, Michael Takeo Magruder, Stanza and
Michael Szpakowski

Blurring the boundaries between the tangible gallery
and the transitory Internet, Net:Reality merges the
ethereal notions of cyber space with the aesthetics of
a physical exhibition. Seven leading UK artists
engaged in Internet and New Media practice have been
commissioned to create artworks that simultaneously
exist virtually and physically.
Rather than having a 'theme' for the artworks, the
common denominator is the media itself and the
unifying connections between the web (Net) and the
physical (Reality) elements of the compositions. The
artists in Net:Reality have each interpreted and
implemented the amorphous relationships between these
distinct spaces to create an exhibition of artworks
diverse in concepts and aesthetics - harnessing the
Internet and the gallery environment to investigate
subjects ranging from emerging technologies to social
science.
