net theory >>
What happens to practice-based research when it gets teleported to the online space? Metamorphosis. Surf-Sample-Manipulate. Codework. An emerging digital rhetoric that blurs the boundaries between Internet art, critical theory, and electronic literature. Being a digital artist now means using the net as both a compositional and exhibition medium. Here we explore the work of theoretical classics, hyper/text/theory, open source information architecture, net art and its exhibition context, and works of art that reinvent the theoretical essay.

narrative lab >>
Narrative lab links readers to the hyper/text/theory of multilinear, digital narratives. Cybertext, defined by Espen Aarseth as any instance of symbolic communication significantly mediated by a computational feedback loop, includes hypertext, virtual environments, role-playing games, and self-generating discourse. Cybertext crumbles the wall between writer and reader, programmer and user, offering digital worlds constructed much like our minds, where choices are made by associations, distractions, juxtapositions, and desires. How has this departure from the linear affected how stories are presented and received? While you ponder this, choose a critical work from the right. Where will it lead you?
