Featured: profiles and interviews
of three European Web/Net artists. All three are using English
as the language of their sites, have produced impressive
bodies of multimedia, interactive work available on the
Web, and synthesize arts and media with an engaging command
of tools ranging from DHTML to Flash and Shockwave. |

Stanza (England) |
|
You will not find anyone with as extensive and
well-developed a body of interactive audio work for the Web. And
it is 'of a body': if you visit the linked sites, you would be able
to identify it were you to encounter it elsewhere, which might happen,
because stanza exhibits widely on and off the Web. |

Reiner
Strasser (Germany) |
|
Reiner Strasser is a web.artist and an organizer/curator
of web.art projects. Since 1996, Strasser has created a large and
significant body of web.art, often in collaboration with other artists.
The work is varied technologically from masterful Javascript through
Quicktime and Flash work. |

Michiel
Knaven (Holland) |
|
We find in Michiel Knaven's work a fine sense
of how idea emerges from material. As though he were a writer but
with material objects instead of words. Perhaps this means he has
an interesting sense of composition and a sense of the language
of objects. His broad sense of multimedia, through netart and beyond,
is involved here. |
