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.

manifestos >>
Manifestos are destination points for those who are looking for precedent for what they are doing. Reading a particularly turbo-charged manifesto can be an exhilarating experience for the novice art hacker. These power-packed word machines are oftentimes loaded with political and social meaning and display a rhetorical style guaranteed to ruffle some feathers. With this in mind, we ask: who are the birds of prey? And are they still watching TV?
