A warm welcome to two new reviewers:- Joe Keenan's 'Moment' - Joe Keenan: review by Jim Andrews. NIESATT - Jtwine: review by Darshana Vora. Three more insightful new reviews/articles:- Google Hacks 'Google and Saussure' - Douwe Osinga: review by Lewis LaCook. California Dreaming, Silicon Valley of Dreams: FurtherCritic article by Ryan Griffis. no/copy/right - no-org.net.org: review/article by Garrett Lynch (Net Art Review). You can get to all new reviews/articles and work on the front of the site... http://www.furtherfield.org - or view links seperately via the six introductory paragraphs below. _Andy Deck Retrospective._ Creating art software since 1990 and then moving onto the Internet in 1994 Andy Deck has worked with the Web using two main sites, artcontext.net and andyland.net as platforms to display his digital based explorations. In the net art activist world there have been many inspiring talents who have shone through the flickering, radiated haze of our computer monitors. Andy Deck is one of those individuals who, has somehow succeeded in maintaining a consistent integrity in his work. Review by Marc Garrett. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=86 _ Google Hacks 'Google and Saussure' - Douwe Osinga._ The content of the piece--the work's drama--is in how the user relates to the text-and-image sequence, which in turn has been generated by her. It's a work that examines the interface betrween the user, the individual, and the web itself, the database, the collective, by using that sign system which is at all times both achingly familiar and forbodingly alien: language. Review by Lewis LaCook. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=83 _California Dreaming, Silicon Valley of Dreams._ "Assembly line hysteria." Most of us can only conjure up situations of boredom, fatigue and repetitive motion similar to typing all day in a cubicle, maybe. If we're well read in feminist literature, we'd be aware of the historically gendered etymology of the second part of the term. But the phrase has a specific meaning for factory workers, especially those working in the high tech manufacturing sector. FurtherCritic article by Ryan Griffis. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=88 _no/copy/right - no-org.net.org._ An online exhibition that has just been opened by no-org.net , a "new Jerusalem art network envisioned as a platform for experimental projects in the area of netbased and digital art and for the exchange of independent information on contemporary art." Subsequent to a call for works on the theme of anti / counter copyright which went out through most mailing lists at the start of this year for a new net.art 'space' completely unknown to the community, I have been regularily checking the site to see how well the exhibition fared. Review/article by Garrett Lynch (Net Art Review). http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=82 _Joe Keenan's 'Moment' - Joe Keenan. _ I revisit Joe's "Moment" for various reasons, the primary one being I still have not seen/read it all; each time I visit it does/says something I haven't seen. Also, what "Moment" does with text visually is sometimes a wonder to behold, yet neither is it simply 'text as image'; the text is usually interesting; Joe Keenan is a significant poet as well as programmer. Review by Jim Andrews. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=85 _NIESATT - Jtwine. _ The work has an intelligence that is not pontificating to make one feel uncomfortable. Arresting one's imagination with the pace of animated graphics, the issues that belie NIESATT-PARALLEL WORLDS present themselves in short statements and sketches. And yet, the visual presentation and narrative structure, which slyly glide between advertising, web-graphic and simulated game styles, is unique enough to open the viewer to questions rather than being a dumb receptor.

Furtherfield creates imaginative strategies that actively communicate ideas and issues in a range of digital & terrestrial media contexts; featuring works online and organising global, contributory projects, simultaneously on the Internet, the streets and public venues. Furtherfield focuses on network related projects that explore new social contexts that transcend the digital, or offer a subjective voice that communicates beyond the medium. Furtherfield collaborates with artists, programmers, writers, activists, musicians and thinkers who explore beyond traditional remits. The majority of activities are self funded and are sustained by the passion, ideas, exploration and skills of the Furtherfield team as well as its diverse membership. Occasional public funding facilitates a more in-depth collaboration with programmers and artists on specific projects, usually leading to more intuitive audience interaction and accessibility.
