_____________________________________________________________ artnetwebINDEX 2.04 Wednesday, June 25, 1997 A monthly newsletter about artnetweb http://artnetweb.com anw@interport.net _____________________________________________________________ Greetings from artnetweb: A convergence, of sorts, has taken place in Europe as three big art extravaganzas coincide: The Venice Biennale, Documenta X in Kassel and The Münster Sculpture Project. Even though we're not at any of them we're not envious as it has had the pleasant side-effect of emptying New York of a number of its more irritating citizens for a few weeks. That doesn't mean we don't like The New York Art World (tm) but everyone deserves a vacation. We're happy to be able to drink our cappuccinos without watching over our shoulder. Meanwhile, summer has hit the city with its usual muggy malevolence so we've drawn the shades, cranked up the air conditioning and are working, if not at full power, at least with good intentions (it's our vacation, remember?). 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 _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ artnetweb is a founding member of THE FOUNDATION FOR DIGITAL CULTURE http://digicult.org _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ ________________ AROUND artnetweb ________________ CLASSES at the STOREFRONT 426 Broome Street New York, NY, US 10013 http://www.artnetweb.com/vrml/classes/index2.html We are considering extending our storefront classes to include asychronous online workshops. That means you won't need to live in NYC to participate. We will be using our VRML and metaworld-building experience to explore a new educational environment. We'd like your feedback on this. If you are interested in participating in online workshops we'd like to know what areas of exploration you see as appropriate for this kind of workshop? The four online workshops that we are currently considering are: 1) The Virtual Theatre Workshop (syllabus available shortly) http://artnetweb.com/vrml/classes/class_vtw.html; 2) Concept Development for Art on the Internet; 3) VRML-Building 3d Worlds on the Web; 4) Journal Writing for the Web (including basic HTML) Please send comments and suggestions to Remo Campopiano: remo@artnetweb.com or just reply to this email...I get it either way.
