I'm just back from a fascinating weekend in Barcelona where I was presenting Cyclops and Proteus at 5th Symposium on Art and Multimedia Metanarrative(s)? 28th to 29th January 2005 at the Mediateca - CaixaForum. It was a great chance to see new work like Marina Zerbarini's Eveline, fragmentos de una respuesta based on the Joyce short stories Eveline and A painful case and hear the artists present already familar work like Valentina Nisi's Weirdview, a cut down version is available online here and her paper on the work is published in the latest edition of Crossings There was definately a Dublin theme going on with three projects about Dublin. Geoff Thomas also showing work from his Storybeat site including Left to my own devices which is currently the featured project at the Net Art Open and
David Crawford's Stop Motion Studies, which looked even better projected on a large screen. Nathalie Bookchin presented Intruder and Metapet and unfortunately Gregory Chatonsky of Incident.net was ill, I've been a big fan of his work for years and was looking forward to hearing him speak about it. But the text of his speech is available online here along with the text of all the other papers delivered.
