The World Wide Web ... a new medium emerges as older media converge in the digital sphere, as computers transform into yet another information appliance, and as global communications networks spread and weave ever more densely together. >>iceflow>> is a snapshot, a chronicle of the role played by artists in developing the language of the Web and defining this new social space. Eight Web-specific works from individuals and groups across Canada are presented as part of >>iceflow>>. We invite you to explore the environments created by these artists, to consider how the work affects you and to participate in online discussions of the projects as well as the medium in general. |
