Don't miss this once only real-time event.......

Following the recent retrospective of Andy Deck's work at Furtherfield 
he will join Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow in the VisitorsStudio  for a 
real-time multimedia interview about his work. This event will combine a 
discussion of his work and unique, live, collaborative  mixes of images, 
animations and sounds sampled from past and current projects. The 
interview will explore the following issues and more....

- about artists cultivating a political awareness and taking a political 
stance in their work.
- 'Visiting Artists', collective authorship and activating audiences.
- war sim games and the potential to create counter-narratives against 
the corporate driven war inevitability myth.

*About Andy Deck*
Creating art software since 1990 and then moving onto the Internet in 
1994 Andy Deck displays his digital based explorations at  
artcontext.net and andyland.net

'In the net art activist world there have been many inspiring talents 
who have shone through the flickering, radiated haze of our  computer 
monitors. Andy Deck is one of those individuals who, has somehow 
succeeded in maintaining a consistent integrity in his  work, without 
glorifying himself above the work itself. Instead of falling for the 
whimsical self-historicizing art = personality myth, he  has chosen to 
position his work in a socio-cultural context, actively questioning 
life's political struggles. He also collaborates with  other artists and 
with people who are not seen or known as artists.' From 'Andy Deck 
Retrospective' by Marc Garrett
