Notas del editor

  1. Lynn Hershman, Digital Venus, one in a series of nine works, computer graphics, 40 x 50 in, 1996. The Digital Venus series reflects the history of art, but with digital, plugged-in antibodies. These works---which comprise a series of nine images---negate history and show a marked preference for artifice, surveillance and mutability.
  2. Looking at any modern cultural field sociologically, measuring its standing by the number and importance of cultural institutions devoted to it such as museum exhibitions, festivals, publications, conferences, we can say that in the case of new media (understood as computer-based artistic activities it took about ten years for it to move from cultural periphery to the mainstream.
