For Immediate Release

The Alt-X Network announces the opening of DIGITAL STUDIES: BEING IN
CYBERSPACE, an international independent network art show featuring 20
artists from 7 countries--who needs museums?

With keynote addresses by Roy Ascott and co-organizers Mark Amerika and
Alex Galloway, DIGITAL STUDIES challenges net.art surfers to investigate
exciting new artistic questions, while revealing some of the problematic
issues faced by curators, writers, artists and publishers in the age of
the telematic interface.

DIGITAL STUDIES includes material from:

Richard Allalouf
Mark Amerika
Roy Ascott
Torsten Zenas Burns
Claire Cann
Vuk Cosic
Ricardo Dominguez
Alex Galloway
Dr. Hugo
Intima
Shelley Jackson
Tina LaPorta
Lev Manovich
Juliet Ann Martin
Jennifer Bozick McCoy
Kevin McCoy
Knut Mork
Poem by Nari
Melinda Rackham
Erwin Redl
Nino Rodriguez
La Societe Anonyme
Jeff Zilm

Why should 'art' still designate that which already breaks away from
art--away from what has always been conceived and signified under that
name--or that which, not merely escaping art, implacably destroys it?

The work featured here asks this important question by creating formally
innovative hypertext narratives, language-morph java applets,
transdisciplinary shockwave animations, and image+text "digital
apparitions" where the author/artist function has transformed into what
Vilem Flusser called a "dense distribution of point elements."
