Dr. Hugo's Fuzzy Dreamz is a net art project in progress (online since 1996). It's a journey into night time states of mind. In the beginning was the dreaming. In dreams we cross the borders of time and space. Time and timing is the medium of life. In a series of net films, the performer/viewer creates his personal dream scenario by . . . choosing a star. http://www.doctorhugo.org/dreamz/index.html

How To Be An Internet Artist Mark Amerika   Create a fictional identity. Begin the branding process by turning this fictional identity into your domain name. Register your domain name and set up an account with an Internet service provider (ISP). Build a site-specific narrative mythology out of bits of data and then use the ISP to distribute this data to the niche markets that are waiting to form (digitally converge). Develop unobtrusive e-commerce solutions that will enable your niche market to electronically purchase the products of your labor. While continuing to build brand-name identity, do anything within your power to produce revenues that can easily be attributed to the success of your site-specific narrative mythology. Reinvest all of the revenues you generate back into the research and development of your site-specific narrative mythology (as distributed from your fictional domain). Use highly subversive marketing skills to attract attention to the fact that you are producing income from your narratological presence, and successfully transform that attention into its own media-virus or cultural meme that solidifies your brand-name as one of the industry leaders. Achieve all of the previous eight goals in less time than it takes to develop a passionate sexual relationship with someone you love. 10. Launch your IPO. http://www.altx.com/amerika.online/amerika.online.5.7.html

Date : September 4 ~ October 10, 2002 Wireless Art Project 1 <Watch Out!> Place : Art Center Nabi, Korea 'Watch Out!' is an experimental artwork for sharing one another's thoughts using new ways of communicating such as wireless technology and the internet. 'Watch Out!' is displayed at Art Center Nabi and on the street in front of three branches of TTL Zones in order to characterize the mobility of wireless technology. The participants communicate by sending SMS message or emails on the website www.watch-out.net. These messages are displayed on the monitor in the box on the street. 'Watch Out!', as a communicating window, connects people and makes them share their thoughts. The eyes looking inside of the box are projected onto the screen facing the street. The eyes thus look outside to the World.

They're coming. You are looking in a box. No, it is not in here They're coming! You are looking in a box. No, it is not in here! Yes, I'm in a box. What about you? Don't look at me that way. Somebody is watching you! Are you sure you turned off the stove?

STINK ANT OF THE CAMEROON OF WEST CENTRAL AFRICA Our planet's rain forests - rich matrices of life which exist primarily in tropical regions - provide us with unique opportunity to observe life in all of its manifold and perplexing beauty. Most rain forests date back some two to three hundred million years. This extreme age has allowed many unusual and complex relationships to develop among the inhabitants of these tropical ecosystems.   In the rain forest of the Cameroon in West Central Africa lives a floor dwelling ant known as Megaloponera foetens, or more commonly, the stink ant. This large ant - one of the very few to produce a cry audible to the human ear - lives by foraging for food among the fallen leaves and undergrowth of the extraordinarily rich rain forest floor. On occasion one of these ants, while looking for food is infected by inhaling a microscopic spore from a fungus of the genus Tomentella. After being inhaled, the spore seats in the ant's tiny brain and begins to grow, causing changes in the ant's patterns of behavior. The Ant appears troubled and confused; for the first time in its life the ant leaves the forest floor and begins to climb. Driven on by the growth of the fungus, the ant embarks on a long and exhaustive climb. Completely spent and having reached a prescribed height, the ant impales the plant with its mandibles. Thus affixed, the ant waits to die. Ants that have met their ends in this fashion are quite common in some sections of the forest. The fungus continues to consume first the nerve cells and finally all the soft tissue that remains of the ant. After approximately two weeks a spike appears from what had been the head of the ant. This spike is about an inch and a half in length and has a bright orange tip heavy with spores which rain down onto the rain forest floor for other unsuspecting ants to inhale.

Space Art Introduction Against Gravitropism: Art and the Joys of Levitation Space Art Links Introduction While there are many artworks that refer to space, few artists have so far investigated space directly as a unique context for the creation and installation of work. Tate in Space is attempting to redress this as an intrinsic part of its future programme, exploring the potential for artists residencies, sci-art collaborations and new commissions in addition to developing imaginative and appropriate ways in which Tate in Space may accomodate existing works from Tate's collection. Part of the research focuses on a practical investigation into issues of conservation in a zero gravity, confined and nonrenewable atmospheric environment. What happens to a sculpture such as Richard Serra's Trip Hammer (1988) when denied of the gravity that holds it in place? How might this environment change the nature of works such as Cornelia Parker's Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View  (1991)?
