In 1954, Princeton researchers created the first computer
graphic, and consequently, the very first pixel.
2004 marks the pixel's 50th birthday, and pixelgala.org intends
to celebrate.

Dr. Hugo's Fuzzy Dreamz is a net art project in progress (online
since 1996). It's a journey into night time states of mind. In the
beginning was the dreaming. In dreams we cross the borders of
time and space. Time and timing is the medium of life. In a series
of net films, the performer/viewer creates his personal dream
scenario by . . . choosing a star.

How To Be An Internet Artist
Mark Amerika
1.
Create a fictional identity.
2.
Begin the branding process by turning this fictional identity into your domain name.
3.
Register your domain name and set up an account with an Internet service provider (ISP).
4.
Build a site-specific narrative mythology out of bits of data and then use the ISP to distribute this data
to the niche markets that are waiting to form (digitally converge).
5.
Develop unobtrusive e-commerce solutions that will enable your niche market to electronically
purchase the products of your labor.
6.
While continuing to build brand-name identity, do anything within your power to produce revenues
that can easily be attributed to the success of your site-specific narrative mythology.
7.
Reinvest all of the revenues you generate back into the research and development of your sitespecific narrative mythology (as distributed from your fictional domain).
8.
Use highly subversive marketing skills to attract attention to the fact that you are producing income
from your narratological presence, and successfully transform that attention into its own media-virus
or cultural meme that solidifies your brand-name as one of the industry leaders.
9.
Achieve all of the previous eight goals in less time than it takes to develop a passionate sexual
relationship with someone you love.
10.
Launch your IPO.

Wireless Art Project 1 <Watch Out!>
Place : Art Center Nabi, Korea
'Watch Out!' is an experimental artwork for sharing
one another's thoughts using new ways of
communicating such as wireless technology and
the internet.
'Watch Out!' is displayed at Art Center Nabi and
on the street in front of three branches of TTL
Zones in order to characterize the mobility of
wireless technology.
The participants communicate by sending SMS
message or emails on the website www.watchout.net. These messages are displayed on the
monitor in the box on the street. 'Watch Out!', as a
communicating window, connects people and
makes them share their thoughts.
The eyes looking inside of the box are projected
onto the screen facing the street. The eyes thus
look outside to the World.
They're coming!
You are looking in a box.
No, it is not in here!
Yes, I'm in a box. What about you?
Don't look at me that way.
Somebody is watching you!
Are you sure you turned off the stove?

Listening Post is an art installation that culls text fragments in real time from
thousands of unrestricted Internet chat rooms, bulletin boards and other public
forums. The texts are read (or sung) by a voice synthesizer, and simultaneously
displayed across a suspended grid of more than two hundred small electronic
screens.

Our planet's rain forests - rich matrices of life which exist primarily in tropical
regions - provide us with unique opportunity to observe life in all of its
manifold and perplexing beauty. Most rain forests date back some two to
three hundred million years. This extreme age has allowed many unusual
and complex relationships to develop among the inhabitants of these tropical
ecosystems.
In the rain forest of the Cameroon in West Central Africa lives a floor
dwelling ant known as Megaloponera foetens, or more commonly, the stink
ant. This large ant - one of the very few to produce a cry audible to the
human ear - lives by foraging for food among the fallen leaves and
undergrowth of the extraordinarily rich rain forest floor.
On occasion one of these ants, while looking for food is infected by inhaling
a microscopic spore from a fungus of the genus Tomentella. After being
inhaled, the spore seats in the ant's tiny brain and begins to grow, causing
changes in the ant's patterns of behavior. The Ant appears troubled and
confused; for the first time in its life the ant leaves the forest floor and begins
to climb.
Driven on by the growth of the fungus, the ant embarks on a long and
exhaustive climb. Completely spent and having reached a prescribed height,
the ant impales the plant with its mandibles. Thus affixed, the ant waits to
die. Ants that have met their ends in this fashion are quite common in some
sections of the forest.
The fungus continues to consume first the nerve cells and finally all the soft
tissue that remains of the ant. After approximately two weeks a spike
appears from what had been the head of the ant. This spike is about an inch
and a half in length and has a bright orange tip heavy with spores which rain
down onto the rain forest floor for other unsuspecting ants to inhale.

Introduction
While there are many artworks that refer to space, few artists have so far
investigated space directly as a unique context for the creation and
installation of work. Tate in Space is attempting to redress this as an intrinsic
part of its future programme, exploring the potential for artists residencies,
sci-art collaborations and new commissions in addition to developing
imaginative and appropriate ways in which Tate in Space may accomodate
existing works from Tate's collection.
Part of the research focuses on a practical investigation into issues of
conservation in a zero gravity, confined and nonrenewable atmospheric
environment. What happens to a sculpture such as Richard Serra's Trip
Hammer (1988) when denied of the gravity that holds it in place? How might
this environment change the nature of works such as Cornelia Parker's Cold
Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991)?
