Issue 05 - It Aint Over 'til the Fat Lady Sings - Jan 2004:

…And so I start 2004 several pounds heavier due to the recent season of good will, or as we in the West treat it, over-fill, and I find myself pondering elements of cultural overkill…moments, or rather traditions of overdoing it. Of course in the West we are particularly good at over consuming, and we certainly don't stop with food.

Issue 04 - The Great Institution in the Sky... - Oct 2003 :

Issue 01 - Text Goes Here - April 2003 :

Text is an important part of net art as it is often conceptual and therefore very linguistic and discursive. Artists produce in a network like a permanent open studio, and discussion goes on verbally and textually as well as visually.
