  Issue 3: WIRED RUINS: DIGITAL TERROR AND ETHNIC PARANOIA

  Edited by Arthur and Marilouise Kroker & Timothy Murray.
  Published by the Cornell University Library Electronic Publishing
  Program.

  The Coeditors of CTHEORY Multimedia seek finished projects of
  electronic art ready to be mounted on-line and archived in CTHEORY
  Multimedia. "Wired Ruins" reflects on the digital and viral networks
  of ethnic identities that now so urgently emit faint signals for
  recognition among the overlapping diffusions of cultural angst and
  digital terror.  A vibrantly pulsating network resisting the
  repression of the new age of censorship, "Wired Ruins" is a
  simulacrum of cross-cultural infection and cross-border fluidity.

  Reacting to the complex horrors of terrorism while resisting the
  surveillance regimes of the disciplinary state, its practitioners
  work passionately to reposition the code in counter-response to the
  aggressive parasites of religious fanaticism and ethnic paranoia.
  "Wired Ruins" will haunt the future as the skeletal archive of the
  many unrecorded artistic responses to digital terror and ethnic
  paranoia.

  Please send a description of your project, including conceptual
  abstract, technical format, and preview URL if available, to the
  CTHEORY Multimedia Coeditors: ctheorym at alcor.concordia.ca
