hey pauline,small point -- sandy stone is still at univ of texas at austin, heads up a very interesting programme on 'radio, tv, film' and they're probably one of the best grad programmes for digital art stuff in the states.  (ut austin web site has all this info.)  not sure about brenda laurel.  xlaura"Mute (Pauline van Mourik Broekman)" <mute@metamute.org> wrote: Loosely..........I think what would be interesting, if we're going to visit the 2.0 version, is to *also* go back to what exactly 1.0 actually was... This could be done in one of many ways, one of which would be to follow, or extend the 'model' of 1.0 into what it's 'actually' become, and to ask what this says a) about the model and b) about the forces impinging on it so as to make it what it was (though this could become a
bit facile I fear); the other way I've imagined, is to revisit the persons or statements of some of the very early 'thought leaders' of the 1.0 version, when the Web was small enough to arguably allow ideas to have quite material effects. The influencers here would range from the more obvious West Coast bunch that has been lionised and critiqued to death (and who occasionally seem oddly polarised now vis a vis the Web 2.0 moment - viz the Jaron Lanier article I posted a while back) to the notionally 'alternative' brigade of net.artists and software designers, and then some others, like Roseanne Allecquere Stone, or Brenda Laurel, all of whom I get the impression have disappeared up the jacksie of industry._______________________________________________Mute-edit mailing listMute-edit@lists.metamute.orghttp://lists.metamute.org/mailman/listinfo/mute-edit
