The TV has been chosen for its ubiquity and its perceived powers of communication and entertainment. The Flesh TVs will find their way into the homes of anyone who might consider buying or repairing a TV. Over time, images of the commisioned portraits will take their place on the site's gallery. THE FEELER TWINS The 'Feeler Twins' is an experimental sex site made by two web artists exploring expressions and representations of their own sexuality, asserting the right to be intimate on the net.

News.Com: Playing domain name hide-and-seek Playing domain name hide-and-seek Dan Goodin CNET News.com 6/30/1999 08:10 AM http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,84-38576,00.html?tt.yfin..txt.ni The entry of a new player in the registration of the most popular forms of Internet addresses is creating confusion about how to tell whether a given domain name is still available, and if not, who owns it. Back when Network Solutions was the only game in town, the task of establishing domain ownership involved a simple trip to the company's Whois database, which showed the creation date, contacts, and other information for every domain name ending in ".com," ".net," and ".org." But now that Register.com has begun selling domains under a shared registration system, NSI's Whois is no longer the authoritative place to find out whether a domain name has been taken. When inquiring about a domain name sold by Register.com, NSI's database simply displays the message: "No match for [domain name]." The process could become even more complicated within the next few months, when more than three dozen additional domain registrars are scheduled to come online. To provide information about all domain names, NSI in April established the NSI Registry, which contains a listing of every domain name registered in the ".com," ".net," and ".org" space. The new database does not provide contact information for a domain name, but it does list where the address was registered so the user can get the information from that registrar's Whois page. The confusion has sparked a new round of complaints among NSI critics, who say the Herndon, Virginia, company did not do enough to simplify the change or give the public prior notice about how the database would work after Register.com came on board. "People are registering with Register.com and not getting updated into NSI's Whois," said Paul Garrin, founder of Name.Space, which accused NSI of violating antitrust laws in a 1997 lawsuit that recently was dismissed. "This is causing problems." Specifically, Garrin said, his company and dozens of others use programs that automatically connect to NSI's Whois to determine whether a domain name is taken. The programs interpret a response that there is no match for a given domain name as meaning that the address is still available. With Register.com offering domain names, that frequently is not the case. But NSI spokesman Brian O'Shaughnessy said the new Whois site was announced in an April 2 press release. As more registrars come online in the coming months, he said, "each of them will maintain their own registration Whois." Copyright 1995-99 CNET, Inc.

June 30, 1999 IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARK AMERIKA'S PHON:E:ME WEB PROJECT IS LATEST COMMISSION FOR WALKER ART CENTER'S GALLERY 9 It's DJ electronica meets Fireside Theater meets Marcel Duchamp. --Mark Amerika Novelist, Web publisher, and net artist Mark Amerika, Founding Director of the Alt-X Online Publishing Network, has created PHON:E:ME, a new Web project, commissioned by the Walker Art Center's Gallery 9. PHON:E:ME asks viewer-participants to expand traditional notions of authorship and narrative and invites them to "re:mix" their own textual-auditory experience over the Web. The project launches June 30 at http://phoneme.walkerart.org. Amerika, using the m.o. "surf, sample, manipulate," remixes sounds and texts to create an original composition that blurs the borders between spoken, written, and sculpted artistic forms. Part oral narrative, part experimental sound collage, and part written hypertext, PHON:E:ME also addresses the new possibilities of both conceptual and performance art in network culture. The sound works associated with PHON:E:ME were developed with Minneapolis-based sound artist Erik Belgum and composed with a specially programmed speech synthesizer that uses the artist's own voice. This tailor-made synthesizer was created by sampling the artist's voice as he speaks all of the phonemes of the English language as well as mimics other electronica sounds, such as drum kits and bass lines. Additional sound and interface design were developed by Anne Burdick, DJ Reset, Cam Merton, and Tom Bland. Joe Tabbi, editor of Electronic Book Review, who contributes an essay "Amerika, Ink" to the project, writes of Amerika's earlier, critically acclaimed GRAMMATRON project: "What distinguishes Mark's project, its claim to priority as a work of imagination, is that it stands as the first substantial literary work created to exist on the Web." According to Amerika, "With PHON:E:ME the emphasis is on sound-writing, with hypermediated text . . . and very little attention placed on imagery per se," adding "I've always thought of writing as filtering, in the mediumistic sense. Writer as techno-shaman: filtering the white noise exploding in his skull and digitally editing it all into some on-the-fly re:mix." Amerika is the author of two novels, The Kafka Chronicles and Sexual Blood. The Philadelphia Inquirer has said: "the real counterculture is not gone and Mark Amerika is proof of that . . . his work is not so much a book as it is a Dadaist demonstration, once again honoring the dictum that it's the artist's sacred duty to destroy what commerce has made common." His GRAMMATRON project (http://www.grammatron.com) was developed while he was a Creative Writing Fellow and Lecturer on Network Publishing and Hypertext at Brown University. Released in June 1997, it is one of the most widely accessed art sites on the World Wide Web. He is also the creator of Hypertextual Consciousness, a breakthrough study in electronic writing and publishing. Amerika frequently gives lectures, performances, and demonstrations on Web publishing, hypertext fiction and theory, avant-pop literature, and the future of narrative art in network culture. PHON:E:ME was commissioned by the Walker Art Center's Gallery 9 with additional support from the Australia Council for the Art's New Media Fund, the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Jerome Foundation. The Walker Art Center is located one block off Highway I-94 at the corner of Lyndale Avenue South and Vineland Place in Minneapolis. For public information, call 612.375.7622; TDD: 375.7585.

It offers not only to broadcast artist works on Web, on cdRom, but also to product with them some works as specificity of this virtual space are. U.A.S. wishes to take in consideration technical and technological data, and multiple exchanges situations, as well as the multimedia games universe, in order to be a data base for the artists whose thought concerns media, information spreading and Net system. The founders of U.A.S., Jean-Marc Avrilla and Valery Grancher, wish to develop this reflection through productions and publishing of works. This thought try to show that it is not only necessary to present the works of the artists, but also that personalities from different horizons must be brought to collaborate together. This collaboration fits with the principle of working on Internet, in the essence. This project is only possible in elaborating, with artists, multimedia designers - in a large meaning - and programmers, a platform for reflection and production. The specificity of U.A.S. pages is its double identity : place of research and space of broadcast. So U.A.S. defines three objectives : first, the production of specific works, allowing to bring together the world of contemporary art to the world of multimedia ; Second, in the broadcast of these works, in participating of art fairs or events, permitting to open to a largest public ; Third, a management service of art works, from their production to their preservation, for public or private collections. But U.A.S is also a place for debate : on line seminars will be regularly proposed with themes connected to the program and the fundamental reflection on the medium. A magazine will propose interviews with artists, theoretical articles or fictions. Finally, the site pages of the artists shown will be accessible from U.A.S. by a link, presented in U.A.S. pages by a temporary providing, in order to study or interrogate works, datas proposed for each other.
