Dear friends,

I would like to invite you to visit:

http://www.alvarez.art.br

There you will know an amazing video - performance done in the heart of
Amazon by Joeser Alvarez. I really like very much this new work called
"Sentido" (Sense ) by Alvarez. It reminds me an Art Museum in Niteroi, Rio
de Janeiro - MAC
(http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~dcov/dac/fotos.html), projected by Niemeyer, where
the lansdscape is so beautiful that it is very difficult to an artist to
compete with it. All kind of work that one place there becomes fade because
of the view.

To one that does not remember, Alvarez was the guest of the third
collaborative review of last year.
http://www.arteonline.arq.br/newsletter/review3english.htm

The size of the video is 3924 kb, but I get to see it without problems using
my connection via moden, so if you have a fast connection it will be easy.

Alvarez is now working hard with video, his passion. I have with me two
excellent videos of him, the first one is a DVD - Vestigios Urbanos (Urban
Vestiges), which I will write a review about it yet. The second is "Moinhos
de Vento" (Wind Mills), which I received as a gift because of the third
birthday of the Museum of the Essential and Beyond That. This last one I
will launch next Fall in the museums
video room.

A very good weekend to all.

Hi Jason,

At first congrats about your minimalist work. It is a very creative idea. I
will adopt your ascii chewy, I would like to know if I can give a friend to
your pet. This company will be a pet sheep and then chewy will be published
at the Big Sheep blog. Do you know this project? It is under a Free Art
Licence. ( http://.bigsheep.blogspot.com ). Publishing chewy in this blog,
other artists can interact with it, it is just because of this that I am
asking for your permission. If you have any question, please mail me.

Also I thought that maybe it can interest you. The guest artist of the third
collaborative review of the Museum of the Essential and Beyond That's
newsletter (
http://arteonline.arq.br/newsletter/reviews2005/english_yto_cl.htm) is
Isabel Aranda YTO CL. Aranda was born, lives and works in Santiago, Chile.
She is working with ASCII and Flash and Arkaos and ... and .... Her work is
really very interesting. Now we are talking about "Mini Art Dance"
(http://arteonline.arq.br/museu/netartwebart/mini-art-dance/art-dance.html)
Below some comments:

"I am intrigued by the mixture of ASCII art (a very spare, minimalist style
based on old fashioned computers) and the painterly, lush style which Aranda
uses in her backgrounds to the animations of Mini Art Dance. I would not
have thought that these two styles are compatible, but Aranda uses them
together to great effect." (Millie Niss - http://www.sporkworld.org)

"I love mini-art-dance; and one thing which I think is particularly nice
about it is that if you click on several of the links one after the other,
you get several of the audio tracks playing at the same time, and they all
synchronise with each other. You can display several of the mini-windows on
screen simultaneously as well: each new one you open sends the old ones into
the toolbar at the bottom of your screen, but you can drag them out again
and arrange them around the place.

It's very feminine and glamorous, isn't it? But at the same time it's quite
modern and even a touch aggressive in places. I wonder if Isabel sees this
as a representation of modern woman in a digital environment, or the modern
female artist in a digital environment - or is it less of a conscious
statement than that?" (Edward Picot - http://www.edwardpicot.com )

If you want to know how Isabel Aranda gets to do so amazing work, read the
third collaborative review at:

All the best,

Regina

Dear all,

I would like to tell you that the "Electric Green Sheep" is keeping on - a
new collaborative review / interview is starting

http://arteonline.arq.br/newsletter/reviews2005/english_yto_cl.htm

This time our guest artist is Isabel Aranda *YTO* CL, from Chile.

If you want to participate send a message to arteonline@arteonline.arq.br
telling us that you want to become a member of the museum's newsletter -
http://arteonline.arq.br/newsletter .

Some information:
Isabel Aranda *YTO*
VISUAL & DIGITAL ARTIST

Very Brief Biography

1995 - She started work with digital art
http://ww.escaner.cl/netart & http://ww.escaner.cl/yto/net-art

1999 / January - She published "Escaner Cultural", virtual website of art
and culture. She continues publishing this electronic magazine/website
monthly until today. ( http://www.escaner.cl )
At this moment she is devoted to investigate and to create around the
NeT.ArT and digital art. She integrates this language to their painting. (
http://www.escaner.cl/yto/net-art )
More information: http:// www.yto.cl
Complete Curriculum: http://www.escaner.cl/yto/curriculum.html

Statement by Isabel Aranda *YTO* CL

WORKS:

I- ESCANER CULTURAL

It has been necessary just one decade, as all we know, to the advances in
the electronic technology and the creation of the digital communication
network, made possible an enormous growth of the written word and its
possibilities of diffusion. In this wave of digital Literature "Cultural
Escaner" is registered, a virtual magazine of vanguard art and general
culture whose first number appeared on the network in 1999 January.

The magazine was created, designed, directed and published by Isabel Aranda,
more well-known like Yto or "yto.cl". When "Escaner Cultural" was created,
another magazine of this nature did not exist in Chile, and it even had very
little in printed paper. On the Internet, much less.

The magazine already turned six years, and now, arriving at this seventh
year we think that the greater profit has been the constancy and to
demonstrate that not everything depends on money. With love, camaraderie and
will, a great work can be done.

We felt that we are making a contribution to our Latin American culture, and
that is just what motivates us. Without realize, step by step, we have
created a large network of artists who communicate through the Escaner.
According to the artist Brian Mackern (Uruguay), our Internet magazine is
the older artistic cultural network of South America.

II- MINI ART DANCE
http://www.iis.com.br/~regvampi/museu/netartwebart/mini-art-dance/art-dance.html

I started in digital art transforming my work images into paintings and
drawings. Little by little I have left those images and my net.art works
became small animations and experimentation pieces. Also I am doing some
works that I show offline because they are very heavy in MB, those works off
line continue the same spirit of the small animations.

I have worked since 1995 with digital art, but I feel that it is only the
beginning. I have many ideas that I want to develop. ***

I feel very attracted by the Ascii Art. It is the language which I am
integrating to my last works. The main topic of my work is the human being,
our physical condition, which dominates our spiritual and intellectual
being. From the beats of our heart to our external movements. Finally our
thoughts and creativity. Our body, so vulnerable. Does our spirit depend of
our body? ***

Many of the images which I discover in the digital art, I am integrating to
my paintings and drawings.

NEW WORK: "Many Faces of Eve" http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/

Dear all,

I would like to invite you to visit my new electronic, colorful and
ilustrated book "Many Faces of Eve" at: http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/

Below ten reasons to show you why you have to visit "Many Faces of Eve". ;-)
This book is:

1- An almost pop provocative work about gender
2- The code of cheek to cheek
3- The apple in the dark - Clarice Lispector
4- The semiotic of the woman who thinks that is dressed with elegance
but...
5- The Adam rib and how I almost could be another woman...
6- Eve got the grape
7- Venus, Body, Image, Myth
8- Face is language, face is information
9- WEBFaces' Cartography
10- Myself as Saint Clara, according Marcelo Frazao.

Now, more seriously:

"Many Faces of Eve" (http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/ ) closes the circle which
I started last year with "The Milky Way"
(http://arteonline.arq.br/via_lactea/ ) and continued with "Alice in the
Wonderbalcony", Sheep's Parade and the series of collaborative reviews of
the 2005 museum newsletter.

Key words of "Many Faces of Eve": WOMEN, IDENTITY, GENDER, HUMOR

Constructive criticism will be welcome!
