CORY ARCANGEL feat. BEIGE (www.beigerecords.com/cory) is a young artist =

to culture and the creative process. It is often constructed using =
obsolete computers found at thrift stores and garage sales. I shot Andy =

Alley" in which the graphics have been changed. In the game a player is =
asked to shoot various 8-bit versions of Andy Warhol, while being =
careful to avoid other characters [the Pope, Flavor Flav, and Col. =
Sanders].
ELOUT DE KOK (www.xs4all.nl/~elout) is a ducht artist. He is the author =
of the web site Pixel Lab: an on-line laboratory that contains all his =
experiments with generative and interactive graphics. He calls that "my =
digital playground" and updates it very often. For Netizens exhibition =
De Kok has created a new work called qqs, an executable file that shows =
a grey city where things moves at different velocities. The user can =
interact with the work making it produce millions of different screen =
compositions.=20

duo behind it is working on the Web since 1995 and is currently based in =
Spain. They are considered to be the pioneers of the Net Art scene and =
their works are often concerned with computer errors and code =
deconstruction. untitled-game is a package of 12 modified videogames, =
all born out from Quake source code.=20
LIMITEAZERO (www.limiteazero.com) is a duo based in Milan, Italy. Their =
experimental activity is about the exploration of alternative relations =
between man and machine. It tries to establish an emotional approach =
using interface systems, instead of a logical/deductive one. Active =
Metaphore is an application of the "Carnivore" engine, a software wich =
listens to all internet traffic on a specific local network written by =
computer artists' ensemble RSG (Radical Software Group). This work use =
the data to work out visual compositions and a sound feedback.=20
CARLO ZANNI [a.k.a beta] (www.zanni.org) works with the most ancient =
artistic way, the painting, combined with the most recent that is to say =
Internet. His research runs on two twin lines, doing a comparison =
between the tradition and contemporary life. His paintings (oil on =
canvas) are precise and impersonal reproductions of desktop's icons, =
software's logos and other images taken from the contemporary landscape: =
