Pixel Plunder© is an exhibition of net.art which explores the idea of
artistic authenticity, intellectual property and copyright on the web
through satire, humour, parody, subversion, clever illusion and skilful
juxtapositions. The seven projects in Pixel Plunder© range from a
ësanctionedí hack of the Tate Modernís website by Harwood from the
Mongrel Collective;  0100101110101101.ORG ëLife Sharing'; which allows
the viewer complete entry into the artists computer and system folder;
Duchampian ëDigital Readymadesí harvested through net search engines by
MTAA Collective; Joanna Briggs ëHaikooí which parallels and challenges
the structure of web-based information by borrowing and mimicking the
popular search engine Yahoo; Negativland's ëPastor Dickís Mailboxí a
long time associate who has been spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ
since 1981; Trip Dixons ëCling Wrap & Gag ë - an organic remodelling of
the interface meshed with a playable re-creation device to  'I Love
Mouchetteí...an obsessive lovesite found on the web which features
'borrowed' files from mouchette.org mixed with furtive snapshots of the
famous reclusive 13 year old net art star Mouchette discovered on the
streets of Toronto.

Pixel Plunder© is presented through the kind support of the Canada
Council for the Arts - canadacouncil.ca, InterAccess Electronic Media
Art Centre - interaccess.org, Instant Coffee - instantcoffee.org and the
Ontario Arts Council - arts.on.ca
