_____________________________________________________________





Greetings from artnetweb:

Our PORT Exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center
is in the final weeks of its present manifestation. By April
our physical bodies will be back from Cambridge and in the
Soho storefront. Our thoughts, however, will be even more
dispersed than ever as we start in on future projects.

As an exhibition PORT is very successful -- we've had
nothing but positive feedback from visitors -- but as a
learning experience for all of us it has been more important
than we'd ever imagined. We're creating a printed catalogue
that will serve -- along with the Web site and listserv
archives -- as historical documentation not only for those who
participated but also, we hope, as a guide for future exhibitions
that explore the flux of digital culture.

Our goal now is to keep the momentum going.


As always we invite your comments and suggestions. Our general
email address is:
anw@interport.net


Best regards,

Remo Campopiano | remo@artnetweb.com
Robbin Murphy | murph@artnetweb.com

THEORICON
An Amphitheater for Artists created by Adrianne Wortzel
http://artnetweb.com/theoricon/

Adrianne Wortzel and Noah Wardrip-Fruin were keynote speakers
at the Society for Photographic Education National Conference
in Dallas, Texas, 3/6-3/9.  They performed a dialogue on the
history of technology and the constraints and liberties afforded
by new media to artists and educators called "Generating Moments:
Creativity and Meaningful Constraint in Digital Work", which was
well received.  Among the other artists speaking were Judy Natal,
Carol Flax, Jeffrey Wolin, Pinky Boss and Steven Bliss.

Adrianne and Noah also attended an opening of new work by David
Byrne at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary Gallery (MAC) where
visitors viewed his new photo-parodies of product advertising while
listening to fabulous audio on headphones. Visitors roamed silently,
ears covered and eyes glued, sipping wine and having a wonderful time.
