Luci Eyers - cyberskiving

cyberskiving is a collection of favourite non-work related sites visited by
employees during work hours. cyberskiving becomes more difficult as server
software becomes increasingly effective at curbing slack-time surfing.
cyberskiving is searchable either by topic or occupation. The project is an
open, generative system which will develop as cyberskivers submit
information on this covert activity.

Dane - PassingTime

There's never been a better time to have a Panic Attack!
Just one of six ways to pass the time until you get to Point B.
You can Fidget, generate things to do from our wish list database, try
keeping your head off the ground, play a solitaire version of I Spy or see
how long you can balance on one foot.


Luci Eyers works with both old and new media, participating in art projects
focused on independent mediation and distribution systems. She is a member
of the low-fi collective, an artist/curatorial practice working with net
art. low-fi is currently a part of the DARE residency at ICA, London.
low-fi locator was shown in FILE '01 in San Paolo, Brazil. Eyers also
co-edited everything magazine from 1995 to 2002 and showed as a part of the
everything editorial collective in Paris, Lisbon, at the ICA and at the
Tate show Century Cities.

Dane is a multi-media artist based in Somerset. He is a professional
collaborator based at PVA, an artist-led organisation in Bridport, Dorset.
He was born in Australia, and grew up in England, studying animation at
Liverpool. Recent works include an interactive installation for the Royal
Devon and Exeter Hospital, and 'help' - an interactive web-based poem.

cyberskiving and PassingTime are New Media Scotland co-commissions as part
of Burning Bush 2: Doing Time. Dundee's festival of time based and
experimental art takes place May 10 - 12 2002. Supported by the University
