NEW:
//the political sphere//
+ Nathan M. Martin (for the Carbon Defense League), Parasitic Media: 
Creating Invisible Slicing Parasites
and Other Forms of Tactical Augmentation
Martin outlines possibilities of 'parasitic tactical response,' applying 
mechanisms of biological parasites to invisible subversion of existing 
communication systems. Distinguishing genres of parasitic media, he 
explores the potential of a practice and tactical response that hops the 
meta-train of media.
Coming soon: Mike Mosher, G.H. Hovagimyan.

//biotech/transgenics//
+ Gregory Little, Toward an Aesthetics of Synnoetic Interactivity
Gregory Little analyzes interactive, telematic art in terms of the 
meta-discipline of  "synnoetics" -- a term coined by Louis Fein to describe 
the cooperative interaction of people, mechanisms, plant or animal 
organisms, and automata into a system that results in a mental power 
greater than that of its components. According to Little, synnoetics 
predicts the current development of biological, genetic, and transgenic art 
forms currently under development by artists like Vibeke Sorensen, Eduardo 
Kac, and Tiffany Holmes.
Coming soon: Ricardo Dominguez, Tiffany Holmes.

//new media curation//
+ Jennifer Crowe, An Interview with Steve Dietz
Jennifer Crowe talks to Steve Dietz, Director of New Media Initiatives at 
the Walker Art Center, about the status of the "New Media Art" exhibition 
within the American institution, the problems of introducing new forms of 
artistic expression, as well as possible new media spaces and their functions.
Coming soon: Patrick Lichty

EXHIBITION REVIEW
+Hope Childers and Susan Ryan, Documenta11_Platform5: Exhibition as Research
Childers and Ryan discuss D11 as archive and "research," an ongoing project 
that must be "finished" by its audience. "The entire event may be 
emblematic of our age: our society's inability to keep up its own technical 
capabilities."
