Remediations. Art in Second Life
by Domenico Quaranta
"SL is literally teeming with artists. ...and it is probably the only 
virtual world to have succeeded in focusing global attention on 
contemporary art, thanks to artists such as Eva and Franco Mattes 
(0100101110101101.ORG) and Cao Fei...." Art critic and curator Domenico 
Quaranta's report on SL art.




Created Identities: Hybrid Cultures and the Internet
by Ian M Clothier
"Heterogeneity, multiplicity and rupture are three aspects of Deleuze 
and Guattari's rhizome.... This makes the internet an entirely suitable 
place to manufacture a hybrid cultural identity..." Ian M. Clothier's 
'The District of Leistavia' is a hybrid cultural entity based on the 
Internet.




Álvarez-Fernández: Sound Amateur
by Silvia Scaravaggi
Art critic/curator Silvia Scaravaggi discusses 'Soundanism' by composer 
Miguel Álvarez Fernández whose current work "mixes and hybridizes 
electronic and artistic media in a research devoted to the connections 
between sound, art and physiology."




Analog Color Field Computer (ACFC)
by Gregory Shakar
"The Analog Color Field Computer (ACFC) is an interactive video and 
sound installation that makes both minimal and maximal use of computer 
monitors." Artist Gregory Shakar explains his ACFC whose "conceptual and 
practical objectives centered around the theme of Reclaiming the Video 
Screen."




Web.Art's Nature
by Andrej Tisma
"...there is an apparent similarity between the Internet and web.art 
concept and principle and some earlier forms of communicative art such 
as mail-art in the early 60’s and network art in the 80’s." Artist 
Andrej Tisma relocates the historical connection of Web.Art to Mail Art 
and the network movement.




Exile as Noise - Noise as Exile
by Dror Feiler
"For me to be in exile, to be an immigrant is like being "NOISE" in 
musical context....a person is here bodily pushed over borders by forces 
beyond his or her control." Composer/musician Dror Feiler draws a 
parallel between the state of exile and the musicality of noise music.
