KANAREK:</font></font></font>
<br><b><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font color="#999999"><font size=+3>World
of Awe: Roam 1.0</font></font></font></b>
<br>is a 3-D roaming environment utilising the rendering mechanism of the
game engine. "WOA Roam" terrain will be based on the digitally produced
desert images that appear throughout the website. It will be designed
to read a "live" feed of web traffic, to select and compile information
gathered in a database, and is therefore dynamically + invisibly driven
by human network action. Written in C++, as a final project "WOA Roam"
will be available as an .exe for download via the net. A sound track is
designed for the last stage.
<p>[Yael Kanarek is a media artist living in New York. "World of Awe" is
based on a journal describing the adventures of a traveler in search of
lost treasure. World of Awe versions 1995, 1997 and 2000 have been
added to Rhizome's Artbase. Ms. Kanarek is an artist-in-residence at Eyebeam
Atelier and Harvestworks. She has been showing her online and offline work
internationally. "World of Awe" has been included in festivals in Brazil,
France, England, Germany and the USA. The "World of Awe" screen saver is
available through "Refresh, the art of the screen saver" on artmuseum.net.]

<br>Videotaping individual windows of cu-see me participants from her computer-screen,
Tina LaPorta "captures" the movements of selected participants logged onto
to a video conferencing forum. Combining and juxtaposing the video-sequences
with fragments of audio taken from interviews she conducts (in real life)
with various artists and theorists who work with digital media,
the artist demonstrates how our process of inter-subjective communication
is becoming increasingly dematerialized as we shift away from the local
toward the global.
<p>[Tina LaPorta is a media artist living in New York. In 1999 she won
a commission from Turbulence.org; NY (with funds from The National Endowment
for the Arts) to produce an online project entitled "Distance" which was
selected as a semi-finalist in the Global Information Infrastructure (Gii)
Award in the Arts + Culture category. As an Artist in Residence at
Ars Electronica: Future Lab; Linz, Austria, she created her first online
work: "Traces". Recent exhibitions include "Technically Engaged"
show at AIR Gallery, NYC and "Dystopia and Identity in the Age of Global
Communications," exhibition at Tribes Gallery in NYC.]

+ KEVIN MCCOY:</font></font></font>
<br><b><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font color="#999999"><font size=+3>201:
A Space Algorithm</font></font></font></b>
<br>Is an online software program taking as its point of departure, Stanley
Kubrick's science-fiction classic: "2001: A Space Odyssey". As an
interactive online work, Jennifer + Kevin Mccoy's "201: A Space Algorithm"
allows viewers to dialogue dynamically by providing methods by which film
shots are indexed, catalogued + can be dynamically re-generated and re-combined,
thus creating a new interpretation of a prior modern classic. Running
time is compressed or expanded, juxtapositions are generated synthetically,
and shot selection becomes a collaboration between you and the computer.
<p>[Jennifer and Kevin McCoy are varied media artists living in New York.
Group exhibitions include "Greater New York" at P.S.1, "Tenacity" at the
Swiss Institute, "The Art Entertainment Network" at the Walker Arts Center.
Int'l arts festivals include: Poland, Japan, Switzerland, France, Germany,
and Holland. In 1999 they received a NYFA grant in computer arts, a Jerome
grant through the Walker Arts Center, and were artists in residence at
the Worldviews program at the World Trade Center and Harvestworks Media
Center. Articles about their work have appeared in Spin Magazine, Feed,
and The Independent.]
