Re: Re: Virtual Richey Manic


I disagree with hostility about this project. How could mutilating one's
arm with 4REAL during an interview be received as anything but a
choreographed media performance? It's totally appropriate material for net
art. To me Virtual Richey Manic is a shining example of new millennium *web*
art speaking for a generation grown up on fan bbs and photoshop. It's a
seamless interfacing of celebrity, body, youth/adolescence, and nostalgia.
And nostalgia here isn't arbitrary flourish, it's entirely specific to the
histories of the artist and of the Internet. I can't defend the music
though, don't know much about it. I'm a slack judge in that dept anyway.

New ArtBase Announcments to Rhizome RAW


Today Rhizome.org is implementing a system that will post an up to the
minute announcement to Rhizome RAW for every new work added to the ArtBase.
It's straightforward: if you are subscribed to RAW, you'll now begin
receiving emails from the ArtBase with a link, description, and artist's bio
for each artwork added to the ArtBase as it is added. Some of these may
appear in RARE (on the frontpage of Rhizome.org) and in DIGEST - Superusers,
feel free to publish exciting projects. And as always, if you're interested
in becoming a Superuser (volunteer editors of Rhizome RAW), go ahead and
email me for more information.

All the Best,

Kevin McGarry

cell phone question


Does anyone have opinions about what American wireless providers are best in
sync with emerging mobile phone technologies? I'm with Sprint right now and
it seems just so bad.
