The book will cover artists groups, small publications, alternate venues, clubs and bars, collectors and the East Village art scene, giving the reader an insiders' peek into the why's and how's of the New York art world.

WHERE WERE WE?

The introduction by Robbin Murphy to the first articles to appear on ArtNetWeb on Art in the Digital Age.

THE WORK OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION
An Evolving Thesis, 1991-1995
by Douglas Davis
"The work of art in the age of digital reproduction is physically and formally chameleon. There is no distinction now between "original" and "reproduction" in virtually any medium based in film, electronics, or telecommunications."

IMAGINING IMAGINATION
Righting the Novel for the World Wide Web
by Adrianne Wortzel
"We can thank our lucky stars it was metaphor and not mathematics that our species cleaved to in a totally literal and active way."

ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL PRODUCTION
Or Are Virtual Toilets As Good As The Real Thing?
by Saul Ostrow
"Criticism and theory are territories without fixed objects. Their discourse can be assembled and re-assembled as circumstances demand. Deterritorialized in this manner, discourse comes to be understood, logically, as a series of statements open not only to interpretation but also application."
