Keith Townsend Obadike is an artist who works with sound and new technologies and SEXMACHINES develops the first chapter in his construction of a personal meta-language. It’s made of three distinct musical compositions that are derived from the sounds made by sex toys. The project was included in Fictive Net Porn, a collaborative site created by the fictive.net and The Point Art Gallery, which emulates a kind of sex portal where the overflowing images actually comprise the work of about seventy visual artists, writers, and programmers from all over the world, interested in the phenomenon of pornography on the Internet.

MTAA is an arty duo, being M.River and T.Whid, that works in the field of Internet and, in 1997, launched the project Direct to Your Home Art Projects (DYHAP). Every month the team sends an artistic project to a series of users inscribed on particular sites, (Rhizome, Fluxlist, and American Express) which contains instructions on how to construct and install a work of art in their living room. Each recipient gets a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. The site presents a collector’s archive and documents an interactive and very curious work-in-progress. The pair also has a laugh with their comic-strip interview that portrays the two as they are deciding whether or not to take part in an exhibition.

@rt outsiders is an international festival conceived by Henry Chapier and Jean-Luc Soret, which celebrates its second birthday this year. It takes place simultaneously in a group of far-flung locations (Paris, Munich, Los Angeles) and mainly shows artists who work in the arena of digital, virtual, or cinematic arts. The site is in English and French, accompanied by a background soundtrack (which you can also turn off), and lays out all the information on the event: places and dates of shows and parallel events. It also boasts an online gallery that marshals an assortment of artists using synthetic images for their work, including the likes of Edmond Couchot and Onno Baudouin.

Pedro Lopes Vieira Fernandes has created an odd kind of search engine—one that doesn’t search for precise information, links, or texts. You type in words, even nonsense ones, and the engine assigns numerical values to the letters, each of which relates to a specific image. The site then visualizes a corresponding collage of images. The engine, in fact, is a visual exercise in which formal aspects prevail over the technical. On the artist’s home page he gives the following advice: “throw away the map; you learn more when you are lost.” The site also collects information on Fernandes and his other projects and enables you forward the results of your anomalous search to other people.

For approximately thirty years Creative Time, a nonprofit organization in New York, has commissioned and presented public art projects in locations throughout the city. Thanks to their collaboration with a variety of artists, they have effected a real change in the urban landscape. Recently the organization invited Australian artist Jeff Gibson to work on a project in celebration of World AIDS Day/Day with(out) Art 2001. The site, http://www.everydaydelusions.com, is predominated by a textual and graphic presentation that essentially springs from the paper publication “Dupe.” In January 2002, Creative Time is launching a poster campaign created by contemporary artists who will wallpaper the entire city of New York.
