Review of Horse Bazaar's Digital Fringe, Melbourne 2009.

"Every year as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival (September 23rd - 
October 11th), a group of Australian media artists known as Horse Bazaar 
produces Digital Fringe. This is a nonstop digital playlist of short 
form video, sound, and images, some of it made by artists, some of it 
not, uploaded to the Digital Fringe website from around the world. Once 
individual entries are catalogued, the work is assembled into feeds and 
DVDs, and then streamed or delivered to a network of public and private 
locations. As expected, the festival's general stream is sent to museums 
and galleries but, in an effort to commandeer every available space, 
Horse Bazaar also sends Digital Fringe to bars, cafes, public squares, 
libraries, restaurants, and pretty much any other location that will 
allow them in."

Angela Ferraiolo is an interactive writer and filmmaker experimenting 
with text, video, and animation for the web, installation, and mobile 
applications. She is currently working on a new interactive movie titled 
"The Loop". Her digital story "Map of a Future War" was published in the 
Fall 2008 issue of the New River Journal. Her plays have been produced 
at La Mama Galleria and Expanded Arts in New York City and at the Brick 
Playhouse in Philadelphia, USA. She is also the author of the RPG Aidyn 
Chronicles and the MMORPG Earth and Beyond. Angela teaches game 
programming and theories of game design in the Film and Media Department 
of Hunter College in New York.
