Domestic Idols - Ruth Catlow
Visit the living room, the study, the hallway and other various homely
environments in this new erotic, interactive artwork by Ruth Catlow using
pipe cleaners as raw art material. Expect to witness an intuitive sense of
playfulness in various domestic settings. Accompanied by sounds & noises by
the Internet mystery band 'Ouch Those Monkeys'. Sex is the subject matter
here, wrapped with an intimacy that dips into a realm of visualized mutual
pleasures for all to enjoy and share.

The Relation Papers - Kate Armstrong
Using data from a 1966 behavioral experiment testing the influence of the
perception of time categories on individual behavior, The Relation Papers
presents a fictional vision of two characters - The Simulating Subject and
The Hypnotized Subject - as they undergo questioning at the hands of The
Experimenter, his Confederate, and an Outside Observer. The work is meant to
explore the combination of an existing structure with fiction so that the
arrangement of fragments would retain the internal direction and logic of
the information, yet be deliberate, subjective, with the quality of a fever
dream.

'NEGATIVE 5'- Lewis Lacook & Alan Sondheim
An Ongoing collaboration and exploration by critical avant-garde
poet-writers/artists, Lewis Lacook and Alan Sondheim. This un-self-conscious
and interactive Flash enhanced vista is a visual chaos radiating a
mischievous zest. Consisting of sound and cut up sentences harmonized by
noise/sounds. A teacher writes on the Black board the word 'Anthra'.

Corner Drops - Alexandra Reill
Collection of 'Banner' animations for all to use at will, created for use in
areas of websites more commonly used for web advertisements. Also featured
on the Banner Art Collective server http://www.bannerart.org. Add these
banners to the pages of your web site. Alexandra Reill's flickering black &
white marvels declare a contemporary existential blackness. Like 'lost and
found', family negatives. Ghostly souls animated and jammed into a frame by
a stroke of fate. http://www.furtherfield.org/areill/docs/cornerdrops.htm

Liza Sabater - Notes on Transgression
'Mythologies, in the form of religions, may not be as affective in our
society as they are in other countries, but mythologies, albeit secular
ones, rule our lives. As Roland Barthes said, "everything can be a myth,
provided it is conveyed by a discourse." In other words, there are myths
anywhere there is representation. Or put another way, anywhere there is
representation, there is a taboo, a law, a commandment, waiting to be broken
and transgressed'.
